The grand finale of Celebrity MasterChef is just around the corner, and the excitement inside the kitchen is reaching a boiling point. As the show gears up to crown its winner next weekend, the pressure is mounting for the final contestants. Gaurav Khanna, Tejasswi Prakash, Faisu, Nikki Tamboli, and Rajiv Adatia are all striving to deliver their best, hoping to walk away with the trophy and the prize money.
While the final leg of the competition has seen intense challenges and emotional moments, this week brought in a twist that no one expected. Just when viewers thought they had seen it all, Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui walked into the kitchen as a special guest. His surprise appearance added a spark to the episode, but what followed left everyone buzzing.
With his trademark wit, Munawar didn’t waste time before addressing the elephant in the room, ongoing rumours about the contestants not cooking their own food. The internet has been flooded with speculation. Many believed that the dishes presented on the show were not made by the celebrities themselves. It has been a persistent theory, with names like Tejasswi and Gaurav repeatedly dragged into the conversation.
Munawar, aware of the chatter, decided to tackle it head-on. In his usual humorous tone, he joked, “There are people who do not believe that Celebrity MasterChef contestants are cooking themselves.” His comment, though lighthearted, hit a nerve. Gaurav Khanna didn’t shy away from the accusation. Calm yet firm, he responded immediately. He invited Munawar to investigate the truth for himself. “Today, everyone will get to know the truth as you all trust Munawar. Please come and check under our tables,” he said.
Munawar obliged and walked over to the cooking stations. He checked under the tables and scanned the setup with a keen eye. After inspecting the space, he gave his take on the situation. “I believe you, but these days, the internet trusts honest people less,” he said, a line that summed up the bizarre nature of online conspiracies.
The controversy may have caused some doubt, but the clarification, delivered with humour and honesty, has set the record straight.
Whether it’s Gaurav’s desserts, Tejasswi’s detailing, or Faisu’s innovation, each contestant has proven why they deserve to be in the final race. With Munawar’s impromptu inspection now part of the show’s lore, Celebrity MasterChef continues to serve not just food, but drama, honesty, and entertainment in equal measure.
