Celebrity MasterChef has captured the audience’s attention despite not ranking high in TRPs. The online buzz around the show is undeniable, with fans constantly discussing the unexpected cooking talents of their favorite stars. Many never imagined that celebrities could display such impressive culinary skills. As the competition nears its finale, contestants are pushing their limits to win over both the judges and viewers. Farah Khan hosts the show, while Chef Ranveer Brar and Chef Vikas Khanna serve as the judges. The present participants include Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Gaurav Khanna, Archana Gautam, Usha Nadkarni, Rajiv Adatia, Kabita Singh, Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu).
A recent episode featured an intense team challenge with Gaurav Khanna and Archana Gautam as team captains. Gaurav’s team included Nikki, Tejasswi, and Kabita, while Archana’s team had Usha Nadkarni, Faisu, and Rajiv. The task required them to create a menu centered around coconut, consisting of a welcome drink, an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert. Nikki prepared a paneer dish that stood out as one of the best. However, tensions flared as Nikki openly expressed her dissatisfaction with Gaurav’s leadership, claiming that their team’s success was solely due to her efforts. She remarked that their win was happening because of her alone, implying Gaurav’s lack of contribution. Despite the conflict, Archana’s team emerged victorious in the challenge.
A newly released promo reveals an intense discussion between Farah Khan, Nikki, and Gaurav regarding the team task. Farah addresses the situation, pointing out that Nikki believes Gaurav had no role in their performance. Nikki confirms this, asserting her stance without hesitation. Gaurav, however, counters by stating that Kabita played a crucial role in assisting Nikki with the paneer dish, emphasizing that teamwork led to their success.
Nikki’s attitude toward Gaurav has sparked strong reactions from viewers. Many have criticized her for being dismissive and overconfident. One fan commented that while Nikki’s dish deserved appreciation, her way of speaking was unacceptable. They stated, “She received spoon tapping for her excellent dish, which even we as Gaurav Khanna fans acknowledge. But her words—what can we even say about them?” Another viewer expressed frustration over her behavior, questioning if she had an intentional grudge against Gaurav. They wrote, “Nikki is completely annoying. She is too self-assured and seems to have some sort of disregard for Gaurav Khanna. I can’t figure out if she’s doing it on purpose or if this is just how she is, but she really needs to learn basic respect.”
