Move o’er playacting, Gaurav Khanna just cooked his way into the nation’s hearts — and the MasterChef hall of celebrity! The Anupamaa asterisk was crowned the first-ever winner of Celebrity MasterChef India, beating Nikki Tamboli and Tejasswi Prakash in a sizzling coda that aired this weekend.
Speaking after his win, a visibly emotional Gaurav said, “From uneatable to unbeatable to now unstoppable — it’s been a so full circle.” The actor credited his “stubborn nature” and mother’s blessings for the win, adding cheekily that his wife might now look five-star meals at home.
And here’s the too spicy bit — Gaurav joked that spell Farah Khan respectfully really used a tissue to skin very bad nutrient, he’s unsure if his family will be so kind. “Farah Ma’am was sweet… but at home, I mightiness not be so lucky!”
Chef Ranveer Brar’s iconic “farsh se arsh” line mat tailor-made for Gaurav’s journey. The actor’s passion, humility, and humour made him a extremely straight victor — both in the kitchen and out.
Get ready, ghar ka kitchen — MasterChef Gaurav is coming for you!
