The grand finale week of Celebrity MasterChef has begun, bringing excitement and emotions to a whole new level. With Chef Ranveer Brar and Chef Vikas Khanna as judges, and the ever-entertaining Farah Khan hosting, the season’s final stretch promises unforgettable moments. The top five contestants, Gaurav, Nikki, Tejasswi, Rajiv, and Faisu, are ready to fight for the coveted title.
The first challenge of finale week kicked off with a surprise entry by Chef Saransh Goila. He brought a task that wasn’t about complexity, but about comfort, asking the contestants to make the one dish they excel at. It was personal. It was about cooking from the heart. Each contestant had the chance to present what defined them as chefs on this journey.
Gaurav Khanna, known for his skill in desserts, got the task of making a blueberry cheesecake. But it wasn’t just any dessert rather it was his wife’s favorite. He named the dish Akanksha, adding a beautiful emotional layer to the competition. Every move in the kitchen felt calculated yet filled with emotion. He poured his heart into every detail, from the base to the garnish.
When it was time for the tasting, the judges were spellbound. The dish wasn’t just beautiful, it tasted divine. Vikas Khanna couldn’t hold back. He stepped forward and embraced Gaurav. Ranveer Brar joined in, and the atmosphere turned emotional. Farah Khan was so moved she kissed Gaurav’s hands. The trio stood in awe of his effort and talent.
Then came a moment that changed the tone of the entire evening. Ranveer Brar pulled out his special chef’s knife , the one he gives only once every season. But this time was different. He handed it to Gaurav, a gesture that left everyone stunned. Ranveer had already given his knife to Tejasswi earlier in the competition, making this the first time two contestants received this rare honor in a single season.
“Mera knife sirf ek ko milta hai, par is baar do logon ne jeet liya hai,” he said, placing the blade in Gaurav’s hand. The studio fell silent. It wasn’t just a gift, it was a symbol of respect. A symbol of mastery.
Tejasswi clapped with a big smile. She turned to Gaurav and said she was proud to share this recognition with him.
Chef Vikas Khanna added his own signature touch. He dropped his tasting spoon, a sign that a dish has left him speechless. The gesture, subtle yet powerful, said everything.
Social media lit up as fans reacted to the episode. Many praised Gaurav’s calm energy, while others adored the way he dedicated his dish to his wife. The name Akanksha trended among fan pages.
The finale week has just started, but Gaurav Khanna’s cheesecake has already made history. Whether he wins or not, one thing is clear — he’s already won hearts.
