The latest episode of Celebrity MasterChef was packed with emotions as Faisal Shaikh, also known as Faisu, appeared visibly anxious while preparing his dish for the crucial black apron challenge. His demeanor did not go unnoticed, prompting judges Ranveer Brar and Vikas Khanna to check in on him.
Concerned, Ranveer asked why he seemed so unsettled. In response, Faisu admitted that certain aspects of his life were deeply affecting him. He shared that these personal matters had been weighing on his mind and disrupting his focus. Ranveer, aiming to motivate him, reminded him that once inside the kitchen, the outside world should remain outside. Vikas observed a shift in his approach, pointing out that he seemed distracted at a critical moment. “In the last lap of the race, you are looking here and there. You are not the same person,” he remarked.
Encouraging him further, Ranveer emphasized that this was not the time for self-doubt. He reminded Faisu of his past regrets about missing opportunities and urged him to push forward without hesitation. With these words of encouragement, Faisu appeared to gather himself, showing renewed determination to complete the challenge.
Beyond the kitchen, Faisu’s personal life had already been the subject of much speculation. Social media influencers Jannat Zubair and Faisu had been at the center of breakup rumors, which gained traction after Jannat unfollowed him on Instagram. Adding to the intrigue, she posted a cryptic message about acceptance and moving forward, hinting at personal upheaval. Her family also distanced themselves from him online, further fueling speculation.
The rumors intensified when a resurfaced clip from Celebrity MasterChef made rounds, suggesting an underlying story. During the episode, contestant Dipika Kakar seemingly alluded to Faisu’s relationship with Jannat, a moment that caught fans’ attention and added to the ongoing buzz.
A lighthearted exchange between Faisu and host Farah Khan also sparked curiosity. When she praised his cooking skills, he playfully remarked that by the end of the show, marriage was inevitable for him. The comment, though made in jest, left many wondering if he was subtly addressing the rumors surrounding his relationship.
With personal and professional challenges colliding, Faisu’s journey on Celebrity MasterChef continues to keep fans engaged, both in the kitchen and beyond.
