The first season of Celebrity MasterChef is nearing its end, with the grand finale week now underway. Despite modest TRP ratings, the show has sparked significant online buzz, thanks to its celebrity contestants proving they can cook. Hosted by Farah Khan, who also serves as a judge alongside Chef Ranveer Brar and Chef Vikas Khanna, the show has kept viewers engaged throughout its run.
The Top Five Finalists
The competition has now boiled down to the top five finalists: Gaurav Khanna, Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu), and Rajiv Adatia. These finalists have battled it out in various culinary challenges, but as the show moves into its finale, the stakes are higher than ever.
Special Guest Munawar Faruqui Adds Drama
In a recent promo, comedian Munawar Faruqui entered as a special guest during the finale week. The promo showcased Tejasswi Prakash amusing the contestants by imitating Farah Khan, causing everyone to laugh. The fun moment quickly turned dramatic when Munawar revealed a letter from one of Nikki Tamboli’s fans, expressing concern about her potential loss to Tejasswi. The fan even suggested that Nikki should stay away from Tejasswi, claiming her strong PR and “Naagin” persona could help her win.

Tejasswi and Nikki’s Exchange
Tejasswi responded by saying she could easily beat Nikki, but not through PR – only with her cooking skills. In a bold reply, Nikki thanked her fan for the warning, saying, “Ab mai isi ka patta katungi.” According to reports, Gaurav Khanna is expected to win Celebrity MasterChef, with Nikki Tamboli as the runner-up and Tejasswi Prakash securing third place, though this has yet to be confirmed. The finale promises more surprises and intense moments as the competition reaches its climax.
