Celebrity MasterChef is heating up as the competition nears its finale, with Gaurav Khanna, Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Rajiv Adatia, and Faisal Shaikh all battling for the title. Amid the excitement, a new promo featuring Gaurav’s honey-dripping dessert has gone viral—but it’s not all praise. The dish, which impressed the judges on the show, has sparked a major controversy outside the kitchen.
Gaurav’s Stunning Dessert and the Praise
In the latest promo, Gaurav Khanna wows the judges, Vikas Khanna and Ranveer Brar, with his visually captivating honey-dripping dessert. The judges were left in awe of its presentation and artistry. Chef Ranveer Brar even called it a “live dessert,” while Vikas Khanna praised it as something completely unexpected, saying, “There are times when I feel like I’ve seen everything, and it’s just a repeat. But this… this is something new. Yeh nahi expect kiya tha.”
For Gaurav, who had a rocky start on the show with a “uneatable” dish, this moment was a huge achievement. However, the praise quickly turned into controversy when some viewers claimed that Gaurav’s dessert was not entirely original.
The “Copied” Dessert Controversy
As the video of Gaurav’s stunning dessert went viral, some netizens pointed out that the dish resembled one created by Swiss-based chef Dives Josh. The controversy escalated when Dives Josh himself shared a photo of his original dessert on Instagram, tagging it as “original” and re-sharing the promo video of Gaurav’s dish with laughing emojis and the caption, “Well done, so creative…”
This led to a heated debate online. Some fans defended Gaurav, claiming that he simply took inspiration from the original dish and added his own twist. However, others were less forgiving, accusing Gaurav of copying and calling the situation embarrassing. One user wrote, “Scam hai yeh toh. Matlab isko mufti mein aage kar diya. This is truly embarrassing,” while another added, “It’s so embarrassing, stealing someone else’s dish and putting it in front of judges.”
Gaurav Khanna: A Rising Star on Celebrity MasterChef
Gaurav Khanna, known for his role in Anupamaa, has made a name for himself in Celebrity MasterChef. His journey on the show has been inspiring, especially after he faced poor reviews for his early dishes. Despite the initial setbacks, Gaurav worked tirelessly to improve his skills and has impressed the judges with his creativity and culinary techniques.
While the controversy surrounding his dessert continues to stir debate, Gaurav’s fans continue to support him, praising his growth throughout the competition.
Will the Controversy Affect Gaurav’s Chances?
As Celebrity MasterChef heads toward its finale, the question remains: will this controversy impact Gaurav Khanna’s chances of winning the title? With his hard work, growth, and determination to prove himself, Gaurav is undeniably one of the standout contestants—but only time will tell how this drama unfolds in the kitchen.
