Celebrity MasterChef has been creating just the right amount of buzz, offering audiences a perfect blend of entertainment and celebrity glamour as the star contestants showcase their cooking skills on TV. In a recent episode, the makers took a special initiative, bringing all the contestants to the Sai Baba Shrine in Shirdi. During their visit, the contestants were divided into groups and were tasked with cooking mahabhog for devotees.
While Tejasswi Prakash headed the first team with Faisal Shaikh aka Faisu and Gaurav Khanna, the second team was led by Rajiv Adatia with Nikki Tamboli, Archana Gautam, and Usha Nadkarni.
Chef Ranveer Brar, who accompanied the contestants to the temple, instructed them to cook dishes for 500 devotees as he handed out a list of the dishes that were to be prepared for a wholesome meal. Acting upon the instructions, the contestants soaked themselves in the divine energy as they took up the job as a ‘seva’ rather than a challenge. In no time, the teams prepared their dishes with help from judges Ranveer and Kunal Kapur. After the cooking duties, the contestants even started serving the devotees who sat in the pangat while enjoying a fun conversation with all.
At one point, Faisu, who was tasked with distributing sweets, was approached by one of his fans who asked about his marriage plans, leaving the TV star blushing. “Please don’t say such things. I am still young. Have sweets, and it will happen soon,” an embarrassed Faisu said. He later even brought some raita for his fans when one of them insisted on feeding him. The light-hearted moment in the show was enjoyed by all fans of the reality TV star.
During this time, a fan praised Faisu for saving Usha Nadkarni in a previous episode, to which he said, “She is like my mother. Thank you, and I hope I get more chances to save her.”
On the other hand, the spiritual episode also sparked a discussion about Nadkarni’s return, considering her recent eviction.
