Celebrity MasterChef is nearing its grand finale, with the competition intensifying. Hosted by Farah Khan and judged by Ranveer Brar and Vikas Khanna, the show has now reached its top five contestants. According to reports, Gaurav Khanna, Nikki Tamboli, Faisal Shaikh, Tejasswi Prakash, and Rajiv Adatia have secured their spots in the final stretch of the competition.
In the latest episode, Gaurav Khanna found himself in the danger zone. Alongside Kabita Singh, Archana Gautam, and Faisal Shaikh, he faced the black apron challenge. This turn of events came right after he was lauded by the judges for his dessert. Partnered with Kabita Singh, he impressed everyone with his creation, a nutritious granola bar. Vikas Khanna, captivated by the dessert, went as far as telling Gaurav that he could walk away from the competition and start his own business selling granola bars. Gaurav beamed at the high praise, clearly delighted by the remark.
While fans rejoiced over the judge’s admiration for Gaurav’s culinary skills, they were also frustrated by the outcome. Despite his stellar performance in the dessert round, he still ended up with a black apron. The challenge was a team effort, and while their dessert won applause, their chicken dish failed to leave a lasting impression compared to the dishes of their competitors. As a result, they landed in the bottom four.
GK baat maano and sach mein restaurant khol loh kam se kam hum aapke haath ka dish toh taste kar paayenge aur shayad aap se mil bhi paayenge

Supporters of Gaurav flooded social media with their reactions. One fan suggested that the chicken dish was the reason for their elimination and hinted that Kabita might have been responsible for their predicament. Another admirer noted that Gaurav’s dish mirrored his personality, healthy, flavorful, and visually appealing. They pointed out that his dessert could easily find a place in any restaurant’s healthy menu. Despite the setback, they chose to see the black apron as a symbol of protection for their favorite contestant rather than a mark of elimination.
With the finale fast approaching, tensions are running high. The competition remains fierce, and fans are eager to see who will claim the ultimate title. Regardless of the outcome, Gaurav has already left a lasting impression with his creativity and resilience in the kitchen.
