MUMBAI: Actor Gaurav Khanna is basking in the limelight after clinching the title of the first-ever Celebrity MasterChef winner. With unwavering dedication and a flair for culinary creativity, Gaurav managed to win over both the judges and the audience, securing his place at the top in the intense finale.
Throughout the competition, Gaurav wowed the panel with his innovative approach to flavours and immaculate presentation. Reflecting on his journey, he credited sheer hard work and consistent effort for his triumph.
In a recent interview, Gaurav also addressed fellow contestant Dipika Kakar’s unexpected exit from the show. Speaking candidly, he said, “Dipika had to leave due to an injury. She was in a lot of pain and couldn’t continue, that's as far as I know.”
When asked if Dipika would have been a strong rival in the finale had she stayed, Gaurav was quick to acknowledge the calibre of all his competitors. “Everyone on the show was a formidable contender. It wouldn’t be fair to single anyone out. Each participant put in immense hard work and demonstrated true commitment. That’s what made the competition so intense,” he remarked.
The conversation also veered towards Dipika’s husband, actor Shoaib Ibrahim. Gaurav revealed that the two had only crossed paths briefly during a surprise visit on set. “I met Shoaib once when he came to surprise Dipika. He seemed like a genuinely nice chap. But I didn’t know him prior to that,” he shared.
Both Gaurav and Dipika were standout contestants whose culinary talents consistently impressed the judges. Their passion and perseverance brought a refreshing dynamic to the show, making this season of Celebrity MasterChef one to remember.
