Celebrity MasterChef quickly became one of the most talked-about shows on television, capturing the attention of viewers. Among the brightest stars of the season was Gaurav Khanna, who not only impressed the judges but also walked away with the shining trophy. Following his big win, Gaurav recently appeared on Farah Khan’s YouTube show, where the two shared a lively and hilarious conversation that left audiences in splits.
During their chat, Farah revealed that Gaurav’s cooking skills had a surprising effect on her personal cook, Dilip. She shared that Dilip had started feeling insecure after Gaurav’s appearance. “Dilip ka self-confidence hil gaya hai. Whenever any chef or MasterChef comes, he thinks his job is at stake. Because everyone wants to leave their job and do Dilip’s job!” Farah joked, sending Gaurav and the viewers into fits of laughter.
Gaurav, always quick with a witty reply, responded by saying that he was ready to take up the offer. “Actually, I don’t mind staying here. I don’t have a job right now, so I was thinking I can stay here if you want.” His humorous response only added to the fun atmosphere of the show. Farah laughed and warmly told him, “You don’t have to work here. You can come whenever you want, and I will cook for you!” Their camaraderie was easy and natural, making the episode a delight to watch.
During the chat, Farah also praised Gaurav’s passion for cooking. She recalled how he would continue experimenting in the kitchen long after the shooting had wrapped up. Farah said that her team often had to wait for him to finish because they couldn’t leave until he did. His dedication, she shared, was so intense that the crew would end up staying late into the evening, but none could deny how impressive his commitment was.
There was also a humorous moment from the Celebrity MasterChef set that Farah fondly remembered. She mentioned a time when she had refused to taste one of Gaurav’s dishes, leaving him worried. Gaurav shared that at that moment, he felt he had made a serious mistake. His dish on that day included a mezze platter, complete with lavash, sugarcane chutney, baba ghanoush, and fried brinjals. Although the refusal left him momentarily stressed, he took it sportingly and continued towork hard on the craft.
Wanting to make up for the moment, Gaurav later prepared a hearty meal for Farah, featuring flavorful veg biryani and chhole. His dishes won appreciation and confirmed what audiences had seen throughout the competition, Gaurav’s genuine love for cooking and his ability to infuse it with heart and soul.
Life after Celebrity MasterChef has been a whirlwind for Gaurav. Speaking about the changes, he admitted that the response he received was overwhelming. “It has changed quite a bit. People are praising me and seem surprised,” he said. Gaurav smiled as he added that everyone treated him well during the show, although he joked that he wasn’t sure what they said among themselves afterward.
From the TV sets to the MasterChef kitchen, Gaurav Khanna’s journey has been all about passion, perseverance, and charm. His warmth, both on and off screen, continues to win hearts, making his story one that fans love to celebrate.
