The recent episode of Celebrity MasterChef brought a wave of laughter as Rajiv Adatia found himself at the center of a humorous exchange with judge Farah Khan. During the Holi-themed challenge, contestants teamed up with their family members, adding a splash of joy and chaos to the kitchen.
Rajiv’s sister, Deepa, a criminal lawyer, joined him as his sous chef. Farah, noticing their dynamic, couldn’t resist commenting. She complemented on how they have prepared a dish matching their dress. Rajiv, always quick with a witty remark, responded playfully, saying, “Hamari shakal milti hai na, aunty?”
The realization of his words hit him instantly. Farah’s reaction was swift and dramatic, leaving the entire set in fits of laughter. “Did he just call me aunty? Aunty bola? Gaya tera. Aaj toh tu gaya. Leke jao isko wapas London,” she exclaimed, fully embracing the humor of the moment.
Even as the banter continued, Farah brought attention to Rajiv’s black apron, a mark of the elimination zone. She turned to Deepa for her thoughts on his chances in the competition. Deepa, with unwavering confidence, said Rajiv had been dedicated, though she noted how he had even scolded her during the challenge. Defending himself, Rajiv lightheartedly clarified, “Do you think I would scold her? Do you know her profession? She is a criminal lawyer. She defends criminals.”
The laughter didn’t stop there. Usha Nadkarni, known for her quick wit, chimed in with a comment that had everyone giggling. “Isiliye ye itna masti karta hai. Kuch bhi hoga toh behen hai,” she joked, suggesting Rajiv’s carefree attitude stemmed from having a lawyer in the family.
Amid the humor, Rajiv shared a tender moment, recalling the challenging days after their father’s passing. “She might look calm, but she is really strict. After our father passed away, and our mother went to work, she became like my second mother,” he expressed, his words adding an emotional layer to the light-hearted atmosphere.
But the hilarity wasn’t over. As the conversation went on, Rajiv accidentally repeated his mistake, calling Farah “aunty” once again. Realizing his blunder, his face instantly showed regret. “Why am I calling you aunty?” he exclaimed, visibly panicking.
Farah, ever the entertainer, seized the moment to tease him further. “Aaj tu gaya eliminate,” she said, her laughter contagious. Rajiv, scrambling to recover, quickly apologized. “Sorry, Farah ma’am,” he said, adding to the joy of the moment.
The playful exchange left the audience in splits, making it one of the most memorable moments of the season. While the competition may be fierce, it’s these delightful interactions that truly capture the spirit of Celebrity MasterChef.
