Gaurav Khanna has just made history by becoming India’s first Celebrity MasterChef. The show recently concluded, and his win has caught everyone by surprise. From a rough start to a perfect finish, his journey was nothing short of a transformation. When Gaurav entered the competition, no one expected him to win. His first dish wasn’t even edible. But he kept pushing, learning, and improving. By the end, he was not just good, he was unbeatable.
Winning the title brought him the stunning trophy, a prize of Rs 20 lakh, and something every contestant dreams of, the chef’s coat. Throughout the show, he managed to win the hearts of judges and fans alike. His cooking journey became an inspiring tale of determination. Gaurav, known for his acting, showed that passion and persistence can lead to new victories.
One of the most touching moments came when Chef Ranveer Brar handed over his special knife to Gaurav. Usually, Ranveer gives this knife only once in a season. He had already gifted it to Tejasswi earlier. But this time, he broke that rule. He felt Gaurav deserved it too. The knife is no ordinary kitchen tool, it’s valued at Rs 1.45 lakh. A symbol of deep respect and recognition.
When Gaurav was asked about the price of the knife, his reply melted hearts. He told that thinking about the price of a gift from a teacher was the wrong approach. For him, the meaning behind it mattered more than its market value. He said, “Ashirwad ki koi keemat hoti hai?” He asked if appreciation from fans or clicking photos with them has any price. According to him, such moments are priceless.
The reporter then revealed the actual cost of the knife and mentioned how everyone had been wondering what made it so expensive. Gaurav responded by comparing it to something familiar. He brought up the price of Virat Kohli’s bat. The value, he said, lies not in the object but in the person using it. He believed that the same principle applied to Chef Ranveer’s knife.
Throughout our lives,we've been surrounded by the idea that gifts hold significant value due to the emotions they represent rather than their monetary cost.
But,only a few ppl truly practice it.
Now listen to #GauravKhanna ❤️🧿

In his words, even if the knife costs that much, it still feels like a small number compared to the experience and knowledge Chef Ranveer holds. He felt honoured to receive something that carries so much meaning.
Gaurav’s attitude toward success, gifts, and recognition shows a deep understanding. He didn’t see the knife as just a prize. He saw it as a blessing. That’s what made his win more meaningful. Not just a title, not just money but the spirit with which he received it all.
