Celebrity MasterChef: Rs 31 Lakh Mystery Box Challenge Leaves Tejasswi Prakash in Tears

Published on

As Celebrity MasterChef enters its third week, the competition is getting tougher with new challenges and unexpected twists. The latest episode introduced a high-stakes mystery box worth Rs 31 lakh, leaving contestants stunned. Meanwhile, actor Tejasswi Prakash had an emotional breakdown after receiving harsh criticism from the judges.

Tejasswi Prakash Struggles on Celebrity MasterChef

The cooking reality show has been testing the skills of celebrities from various backgrounds. Last week, Chandan Prabhakar was eliminated, and this week, Tejasswi Prakash seems to be facing a rough patch. Despite her efforts, she has consistently ranked at the bottom. A promo from the latest episode hints at an intense moment where she breaks down in tears after receiving serious feedback from the judges.

The judges, Chef Ranveer Brar, Chef Vikas Khanna, and filmmaker Farah Khan, introduced one of the most expensive mystery boxes in the show’s history. Valued at Rs 31 lakh, the box contained premium ingredients, with prices ranging from Rs 11,000 to Rs 6.5 lakh. The twist? Contestants had to incorporate gold into their dishes.

In the promo, Tejasswi Prakash confidently presents her dish, estimating its value at Rs 2,000. However, Farah Khan’s response leaves her shaken as she remarks that she wouldn’t even pay that much for the dish. The harsh feedback visibly affects Tejasswi, who is later seen in tears.

Wildcard Entry: Ayesha Jhulka Joins the Show

While Tejasswi’s emotional moment has sparked debate among fans on social media, the show has another surprise in store. Bollywood actress Ayesha Jhulka is set to join Celebrity MasterChef as a wildcard contestant.

Expressing her excitement, Ayesha Jhulka said, “Cooking has been a part of my life since childhood. I love experimenting with flavours, and being on this show is a completely new challenge. I’m looking forward to this journey.”

Ayesha Jhulka, known for films like Khiladi and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the competition. Her entry has already created a buzz, with fans eager to see how she performs against other contestants.

Who Are the Remaining Contestants?

The current season of Celebrity MasterChef features a mix of television personalities, social media influencers, and celebrities. The lineup includes:

  • Dipika Kakar – Popular TV actress and reality show winner
  • Mr. Faisu – Social media influencer and content creator
  • Rajiv Adatia – Former Bigg Boss contestant
  • Gaurav Khanna – TV actor known for Anupamaa

  • Tejasswi Prakash – Actress and former Bigg Boss winner
  • Abhijeet Sawant – First winner of Indian Idol
  • Nikki Tamboli – Actress and reality TV star
  • Kabita Singh – Popular food vlogger

With high-pressure challenges and unexpected eliminations, the competition is only getting tougher.

Celebrity MasterChef: What’s Next?

As the reality show progresses, the challenges will only intensify. With Ayesha Jhulka’s entry, the dynamics among contestants are bound to shift. Meanwhile, Tejasswi Prakash’s emotional moment has left fans divided—while some sympathize with her struggle, others believe the competition demands resilience.

The introduction of the Rs 31 lakh mystery box has raised the stakes, making it one of the most expensive cooking challenges ever seen on Indian television. Contestants must now up their game to impress the judges and avoid elimination.
