Celebrity MasterChef recently wrapped up its debut season, and although the TRPs didn’t set records, the show captured online attention like wildfire. From sizzling drama to unexpected culinary triumphs, it became a hot topic across social media platforms. Now, even though the finale has aired, the excitement hasn’t simmered down because the MasterClass series has taken over.
Gaurav Khanna emerged as the ultimate winner of the first season. His journey impressed not just the judges, but the audience as well. From initially struggling to cook edible food, he gradually mastered the kitchen, eventually earning the title. His efforts were rewarded with the trophy, a prestigious Chef’s coat, and a cash prize of ₹20 lakh. Alongside him, Nikki Tamboli ended as the first runner-up, while Tejasswi Prakash came third. Faisal Shaikh, widely known as Mr Faisu, and Rajiv Adatia also made it to the finals, giving the competition a thrilling finish.
The show was hosted by Farah Khan, whose energy and wit kept things light even during intense challenges. Celebrity chefs Ranveer Brar and Vikas Khanna judged the performances, offering guidance, appreciation, and sometimes tough love. They pushed the contestants out of their comfort zones and into culinary growth. The trio Farah, Ranveer, and Vikas formed the heart of the season.
Though the finale marked the end of the competition, it wasn’t truly over. The makers introduced a fresh twist with a new series of MasterClass episodes. These are special segments that bring back some of the fan-favourite faces and put them through fun and quirky food challenges.
The first MasterClass featured winner Gaurav and Nikki Tamboli, joined by some other contestants from the earlier seasons. The friendly competition and camaraderie brought a wave of nostalgia and joy for the fans. Now, in a recently released promo, more familiar faces return to the kitchen.
Tejasswi Prakash, Dipika, and Faisu are seen joining the latest MasterClass challenge. Farah Khan welcomes them with a playful vibe and announces their new task, creating a party platter. The energy quickly shifts from casual banter to a creative rush. Chef Ranveer steps in and tells them that the platter must include six different elements. That sets the stage for a culinary race filled with color, taste, and surprise.
But the episode isn’t just about cooking. A guessing game is also played where contestants have to name dishes inspired by Bollywood songs. Dipika shocks everyone with her quick answers. She guesses all the dishes correctly, leaving both judges and co-contestants impressed. Her music knowledge clearly matches her kitchen skills.
In a light-hearted moment, Tejasswi turns to Ranveer and jokingly asks, “Will you hire a chef who has such taste in music?” The fun and laughter in the kitchen remind viewers why they fell in love with this show in the first place.
With more episodes likely on the way, MasterClass is quickly becoming a fan-favourite extension of Celebrity MasterChef. It continues the journey in a light, joyful manner and keeps the audience coming back to the kitchen, not just for food, but for fun.
