Celebrity MasterChef is inching closer to its grand finale, with the contestants putting their best foot forward to claim the coveted title. The latest episode brought a wave of excitement as the celebrity cooks were tasked with creating their favorite Delhi chaat within a tight 20-minute deadline. Compared to the intense challenges they’ve faced so far, this one seemed like a breeze.
Rajiv Adatia and Usha Nadkarni enjoyed a head start, having earned an advantage in the previous task. Thanks to their impressive performance, they were granted an additional five minutes to perfect their dishes. While Nadkarni decided to prepare a classic aloo tikki chaat, Adatia opted for a creamy dahi papdi chaat. Their energy was evident as they quickly gathered ingredients and got to work.
During the challenge, Farah Khan couldn’t resist poking a little fun. She turned to Nikki Tamboli, questioning her choice of pairing Usha Tai with Rajiv. Tamboli, realizing her decision may have cost her a strategic edge, candidly admitted, “Wahi toh, mujhe ye advantage mil sakta tha. Mein apne dosti ke barein mein sochi.” In other words, she prioritized friendship over personal gain.
Tejasswi Prakash, always quick with a witty comeback, humorously retorted, “You shut up.” The light-hearted exchange prompted Farah Khan to declare with playful determination, “Ye dosti main todwake rahungi.” Her mischievous remark brought laughter from the contestants, adding a cheerful moment to the competition.
Meanwhile, Rajiv found himself grappling with an unexpected challenge. Partnered with the ever-independent Usha Nadkarni, he attempted to lend a helping hand. However, Nadkarni, unwavering in her approach, firmly declined his assistance. Rajiv, visibly exasperated, voiced his frustration. He acknowledged the difficulty of working with Usha, stating that her reluctance to listen made the experience even more challenging.
Despite the hurdles, the kitchen buzzed with determination. The tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared chaat filled the space as the contestants raced against the clock. When time was up, the judges eagerly tasted the dishes, savoring every bite.
After much deliberation, it was Archana Gautam and Gaurav Khanna who emerged victorious. Their flawless execution and well-balanced flavors earned them the win in the second round. The duo’s joy was palpable as they celebrated their hard-earned success, proving once again why they remain strong contenders in the race for the Celebrity MasterChef title.
With tensions rising and friendships being tested, the competition is more gripping than ever. As the finale draws near, each contestant will have to bring their A-game to stand a chance at victory. The journey promises more twists, laughter, and unforgettable moments in the episodes to come.
