Another intense week on Celebrity MasterChef is coming to an end, and one contestant is about to leave the competition. The latest episode brings high-stakes drama as Faisal Shaikh’s team lands in the black apron challenge after losing to Tejasswi Prakash’s group. A new promo offers a glimpse of the tense battle to survive.
The clip opens with Judge Ranveer Brar questioning Faisal about the team’s performance. Owning up to the failure, he admits, “I take full responsibility because I am the leader, and it hurts to see my team standing here with me.” His teammates were Usha Nadkarni, Ayesha Jhulka, and Dipika Kakar, stand by his side, visibly emotional. Usha Nadkarni breaks down, prompting Dipika and Faisal to console her.
The pressure in the kitchen escalates when Judge Farah Khan declares that one contestant will be eliminated. Wearing their black aprons, the team members begin cooking with determination. As Dipika Kakar focuses on her dish, the judges ask her about her dish. She reveals she is preparing fish in thyme. Ranveer Brar reminds her that she had previously faced elimination for the same fish she is preparing. She acknowledges the challenge, saying she has no choice but to give it her all.
Meanwhile, Ayesha Jhulka faces a question from Farah Khan about whether her husband knows she is in the elimination round and she answered no. The atmosphere remains heavy as Faisal, experiencing this pressure for the first time, confesses, “Wearing the black apron for the first time has left me so overwhelmed that I can’t even think straight.”
As the judges begin tasting the dishes, the anxiety reaches new heights. Faisal, who had been enjoying cooking throughout the competition, finally admits his fear. “It’s been four weeks of cooking with joy, but today, I feel scared,” he says. When Vikas Khanna samples Dipika’s dish, he quizzes her about its authenticity. She gives an honest response, explaining that while it tastes fine to her, she has no reference point for how it is supposed to be traditionally prepared.
With the fate of one contestant hanging in the balance, the atmosphere in the kitchen remains tense. The judges’ final verdict will determine who continues their journey in Celebrity MasterChef and who must say goodbye.
