MUMBAI: Celebrity MasterChef India continues to captivate audiences with its perfect blend of culinary brilliance and star power.

Among the standout contestants, Nikki Tamboli and Gaurav Khanna have emerged as fierce competitors, consistently impressing the judges with their culinary creations. However, it's not just their dishes making headlines it's their heated rivalry that's got everyone talking.

In the latest episode, tensions reached a boiling point when Gaurav allocated cooking times unevenly, sparking a major controversy. While he granted Tejasswi a generous 100 minutes to prepare her dish, Nikki was left with only 90 minutes.

Unsurprisingly, this decision didn’t sit well with Nikki, who felt slighted by the apparent favoritism.

When questioned by judge Farah Khan about her reaction, Nikki didn’t hold back. She openly called Gaurav an "insecure boy, not a man," adding that while other contestants might hesitate to voice their thoughts, she always speaks her mind.

Nikki’s bold statement highlighted the simmering tension that has been evident since the beginning of the competition.

Defending his decision, Gaurav explained that his choice was strategic. He pointed out that Nikki holds an immunity pin, giving her the option to quit anytime a luxury Tejasswi does not have. This, he argued, justified the additional 10 minutes he allotted to Tejasswi.

The friction between Nikki and Gaurav has been a recurring theme throughout the season. Their frequent clashes often require the judges to intervene and diffuse the situation.

Despite the ongoing rivalry, both contestants continue to shine with their culinary talents, keeping the audience hooked week after week.

As the competition progresses, it remains to be seen whether Nikki and Gaurav can set aside their differences or if their rivalry will continue to add more spice to this season of Celebrity MasterChef India.
