Celebrity MasterChef is now in its sixth week, and the pressure is mounting. Contestants are struggling to meet the high expectations of the judges. Each challenge is becoming more demanding, pushing them to their creative limits. In the latest episode, Archana Gautam was given a special advantage, she had the power to distribute mystery boxes to the other contestants. Some received boxes filled with flowers, while others were not as lucky. Among them, Tejasswi Prakash found herself with a box filled with flowers, forcing her to create something extraordinary using floral ingredients.
Tejasswi took on the challenge with confidence. She decided to make Kalakand using rose, jasmine gel, passion fruit reduction, and a hazelnut fennel crumble. The dish looked stunning when she presented it to the judges. The colors, textures, and plating were nothing short of elegant. However, as soon as the judges took a bite, their expressions revealed disappointment.
Ranveer Brar and Vikas Khanna were the first to share their critiques. Vikas acknowledged her efforts but was not pleased with how the dish tasted. Ranveer, known for his keen attention to detail, pointed out that the dish felt dry and lacked balance. He later explained that a cream-based sauce could have made a huge difference. Farah Khan did not hesitate to share her thoughts. She bluntly stated that she liked nothing about the dish, leaving Tejasswi visibly disheartened.
The criticism was tough to hear, especially after her recent success. In the team challenge, she had delivered what the judges had called the “best dish ever”. That dish, which incorporated coconut, had earned her high praise. The sudden shift from being celebrated to facing harsh criticism was not easy.
Tejasswi now finds herself in a difficult position. She must face another challenge to secure her place in the competition. Alongside her, Gaurav Khanna, Kabita Singh, Rajiv Adatia, and Nikki Tamboli also risk elimination. The road ahead will not be easy, but she is determined to fight back.

Despite the setback, her fans remain loyal. Social media is flooded with messages of support. One fan highlighted how much effort she put into her presentation. They reminded everyone that Chef Vikas had admired how beautifully she plated the dish. Another fan admitted that it was not her best work but emphasized that she always excels in plating, adding a red heart emoji to their comment.
Tejasswi may have had a rough day in the kitchen, but her resilience has always been her strength. She knows that every great chef faces setbacks. With her creativity and determination, she has a chance to bounce back stronger in the next challenge.
