When we think of television stars, cooking isn’t the first talent that comes to mind. But reality shows like Celebrity MasterChef on Sony TV are changing that perception—one delicious dish at a time. Celebs known for their on-screen drama are now serving up gourmet meals, proving that their talents extend far beyond the screen.

Launched on January 27, 2025, Celebrity MasterChef has now reached its thrilling final stage. Out of 12 well-known TV personalities who entered the kitchen battlefield, only five have made it to the grand finale. Among them is a contestant who has overcome a unique challenge—color blindness.

Gaurav Khanna Impresses Despite the Odds

The fan-favorite star from Anupamaa, Gaurav Khanna (Anuj), has not only proved his culinary skills but also his resilience. In a recent task introduced by renowned chef Rahul Rana, contestants had to prepare a Shadras—a complex spread featuring six different flavors, 22 colorful components, and 150 intricate steps.

Though Gaurav has been a consistent performer, having won the last two challenges, this task tested him like never before. Due to his color blindness, he struggled especially with plating the sweet potato roast using edible flowers, saying, “Being color blind, I felt the disadvantage today while identifying the flower colors for plating.”

Despite this, Gaurav finished the challenge in second place, winning praise from judges and cementing his spot in the top 5 finalists.

Meet the Top 5 Finalists & Grand Finale Date

According to a Filmibeat report, the top five finalists battling for the title are:

  • Tejasswi Prakash
  • Nikki Tamboli
  • Mr. Faizu
  • Gaurav Khanna
  • Rajiv Adatia

Buzz suggests that Mr. Faizu, Gaurav Khanna, and Rajiv Adatia have made it to the top 3. Whispers in the entertainment circle even hint that Gaurav might have bagged the trophy.

But nothing is confirmed—viewers will have to wait for the grand finale of Celebrity MasterChef, airing on Friday, April 11 at 8 PM on Sony TV, to see who takes home the coveted title.

Stay tuned for a finale packed with flavor, emotions, and surprises.
