Celebrity MasterChef, the cooking reality show, is going on in full swing. The show gained immense popularity within a few days of being aired. Now, the kitchen of Celebrity MasterChef got even hotter as the first elimination looms. In a recently released episode, the tension was palpable among the blue team, led by Tejasswi Prakash. Contestants Gaurav Khanna, Usha Nadkarni, Chandan Prabhakar and Nikki Tamboli braced themselves for the forthcoming challenge. After intense competition, contestant Chandan Prabhakar became the first to face elimination.
The promo opens with Vikas Khanna announcing the impending elimination, sending a wave of anxiety through the contestants. Following this, the nominated contestants step into the black apron challenge and Farah Khan announces, “Today’s challenge is not fire; it’s wildfire.”
In this challenge, the cooking station in front of every contestant has a black box with fire coming out of it. As they remove the box, the box unveils the hero ingredient, which has to be the main aspect of the dish. Chandan Prabhakar says, “Maine itne pressure me kabhi khana nahi banaya hai.” “Gaurav expresses, “Bohot zyada dar laag raha hain aaj mujhe. (I’m very scared today.)”
As the contestants strive to impress the judges with their culinary creations, the promo hints at a challenging road ahead. As the three judges take bites from Chandan’s dish, they exclaimed that he didn’t use the chillies as a hero ingredient. Disappointed by his dish, they decided to eliminate him from the show.
In the same episode, the Naagin fame got embroiled in a heated exchange with Archana Gautam, reflecting the competitive spirit in the show. The actress tells Archana Gautam, “Kal toh tum jitna naach rahi thi, tumhe unhone select nahi kiya tha. Tum akhir mein baach gayi thi, iisiliye udhar chali gayi thi. (You were dancing in joy yesterday, but they did not select you. You were the last one left, that’s why you went there).”
To this, the Bigg Boss 16 fame hits back and says, “Mein thuk ke nahi chatungi Tejasswi (I will not spit and lick it, Tejasswi).”
The cooking reality show, judged by chefs Vikas Khanna, Ranveer Brar and filmmaker Farah Khan, boasts a star-studded lineup. Talking about the cast, the culinary competition now features Gaurav Khanna, Dipika Kakar Ibrahim, Tejasswi Prakash, Rajiv Adatia, Usha Nadkarni, Archana Gautam, Nikki Tamboli, Faisal Shaikh aka Mr Faisu, Kabita Singh and Abhijeet Sawant.
