MUMBAI: In a dazzling grand finale filled with culinary flair and emotional moments, Celebrity MasterChef India crowned its very first champion – Gaurav Khanna. The actor took home the trophy and the price money of Rs. 20 Lakhs.
He outshone the remaining four finalists – Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Rajiv Adatia, and Faisu – to claim the coveted trophy and don the prestigious chef’s coat.
All five finalists put forth an extraordinary effort, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to impress the judges one last time. But it was Gaurav who truly stole the show with his flair, precision, and creativity, sealing his place in the show's history books.

Gaurav’s journey throughout the competition was nothing short of a roller-coaster. He had a rocky start when, in the very first episode, judge Farah Khan deemed his dish inedible. However, the actor didn't let that moment define his journey. Over the course of ten weeks, he consistently raised the bar, earning acclaim for his inventive approach to cooking and ability to turn around challenges.
In the final stages of the competition, Gaurav’s culinary skills hit their peak. His dishes frequently emerged as the judges' top picks, with many praising his growth and calling him a potential winner well before the finale aired. His creativity, attention to detail, and relentless pursuit of excellence clearly paid off.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Gaurav Khanna broke down as he reflected on his remarkable journey on the show. In a heartwarming moment, chefs Ranveer Brar and Sanjeev Kapoor offered their support, praising his dedication and growth throughout the competition. They assured him that his journey had been nothing short of extraordinary and reminded him to take pride in how far he had come.
However, the road to victory wasn’t entirely smooth. Gaurav had a tense relationship with fellow contestant and first runner-up Nikki Tamboli. The two were often seen clashing in the kitchen, with heated arguments becoming a recurring theme. In the end, Gaurav managed to rise above the drama and secured a well-earned victory.
Controversy also followed Gaurav into the final week, when he was accused of copying a dish. But respected judge Chef Vikas Khanna was quick to defend him, explaining that Gaurav was simply observing, learning, and evolving – a testament to his dedication rather than a sign of complacency.
With this monumental win, fans are eager to see what’s next for Gaurav Khanna. If reports are to be believed, he may soon be seen testing his mettle in yet another challenging format – Khatron Ke Khiladi.
