Celebrity MasterChef Winner: Gaurav Khanna Takes Top Spot
With his win, Gaurav Khanna has proven himself to be a talented and skilled chef, and his dishes have impressed the judges and audience alike, making him a deserving winner of the first season of Celebrity MasterChef, and the finale episode is expected to be an exciting conclusion to the season.
Gaurav Khanna has emerged as the winner of the first season of Celebrity MasterChef, beating Tejasswi Prakash in a closely contested finale, with his dishes impressing the judges throughout the competition, including a standout blueberry cake that earned him Chef Ranveer Brar's knife.
The finale week saw the contestants create unforgettable dishes, including Tejasswi Prakash's innovative "Dosa Bomboloni", a fusion of South Indian dosa and Italian doughnuts, which was added to Vikas Khanna's restaurant menu. Other notable dishes included Nikki Tamboli's butter chicken, Rajiv Adatia's Khandvi with chimichurri, and Faisu's 007 Mutton Nihari, all of which showcased the contestants' culinary skills and creativity.
Gaurav Khanna's win was not without controversy, as he was accused of copying a dessert recipe, but judges Vikas Khanna and Farah Khan defended him, stating that it was a common dish. Despite this, Gaurav's consistency and talent throughout the competition earned him the top spot, and he will be awarded the chef's coat in the finale episode airing on April 11.
The finale episode will feature the top five finalists, including Gaurav, Faisal Shaikh, Nikki Tamboli, and Rajiv Adatia, and will decide who among them will take home the coveted chef's coat, marking the end of an exciting season of Celebrity MasterChef.
