Gaurav Khanna Remembers His Early Mumbai Days During Celebrity MasterChef’s One-Pot Challenge
In the latest episode of Celebrity MasterChef (March 19), the contestants faced a tough challenge—cooking with just one pot! Guest chef Kunal Kapur surprised them with this unique task, where they could prepare any dish of their choice but had to use only four key ingredients. The real twist? The utensil section was locked, and they had to make do with just one pot.
Gaurav Khanna’s Nostalgic Moment
While the challenge made things difficult for everyone, actor Gaurav Khanna got emotional as it reminded him of his early days in Mumbai. He shared with judges Ranveer Brar and Kunal Kapur that when he first moved to the city, he used to cook in a similar pot because that was the only utensil he had.
He said,
“Today, I got only one pot, and I don’t know why, but it reminded me of the days when I had just moved to Mumbai. Back in college, as a bachelor, I didn’t have much money. It was either spending on petrol for my Bullet or buying groceries—who would think of buying utensils?”
He further added,
“I had just one deep pan back then, tied with a wire, and I used to cook in it while calling my mom for instructions. Those days came rushing back to me.”
His Dish and a Surprise Twist
For the challenge, Gaurav was making Mie Goreng noodles with an Indian twist. However, the judges introduced a mid-cooking twist, and he had to take over Usha Nadkarni’s dish instead!
