Laughter Chefs 2 continues to stir up both fun and ratings. With its lively blend of comedy and culinary chaos, the second season is proving just as engaging as the first. This unique format, where cooking meets punchlines has once again captured the attention of fans across the country.
Leading the laughter is Bharti Singh, who hosts with her trademark wit and charm. Judge Harpal Singh Sokhi, a chef known for his vibrant personality, keeps the food critiques as entertaining as the performances. The lineup this season has been full of fresh faces and beloved returning stars.
Recently, changes in the cast have stirred up conversation. First came the surprise exit of Abdu Rozik. Not long after, Karan Kundrra, who had been part of the first season, made his return. Fans, thrilled by this comeback, shared their excitement all over social media. Karan’s mix of humor and charm has always been a hit, and his return added a fresh twist.
Now, another shift is on the horizon. Mannara Chopra has decided to step away from the show. Despite the success and the extension of the season, her schedule won’t allow her to continue. She has other professional responsibilities, making it impossible for her to stay on. The news didn’t come as a shock, as reports had hinted at one of the former participants stepping in to replace her.
Whispers around the sets suggested names like Nia Sharma, Arjun Bijlani, or Aly Goni might return. Now, according to India Forums, it’s confirmed that Nia Sharma is coming back. She was part of season one and had performed alongside Sudesh Lehri. The same duo will be reunited this time, bringing back a fan-favorite pairing.
Mannara, meanwhile, shared a heartfelt message as she confirmed her departure. “Moving on is never easy, especially when it feels like you’re leaving behind a family. But with prior commitments demanding my attention, it’s time to say goodbye to my Laughter Chef family that I have made,” she said, expressing how deeply the experience had touched her.
She further added how much she enjoyed being part of something so different. Whipping up quirky dishes and exchanging jokes never felt like a job. It was a home away from home, she said. One of the highlights for her was working alongside Sudesh Lehri. She referred to him as a legend and shared how memorable it was to share the stage with him.
COLORS, the channel behind the show, was also thanked by Mannara. It was during Bigg Boss 17 that she first explored cooking, starting with something as simple as making tea. But Laughter Chefs took it to another level. It introduced her to an entirely new passion.
With Nia stepping back into the kitchen, fans can expect more fun, flavors, and face-offs. As the show rides high on the TRP charts, each twist in the cast only adds more spice. The kitchen isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
