Tejasswi Prakash with the chefs

In the grand finale of Celebrity MasterChef, emotions ran high as dreams, love, and food intertwined to create unforgettable moments.

Among the most heartfelt was Tejasswi Prakash’s candid conversation about her long-held aspiration of opening her own restaurant and earning a Michelin star — a dream she credits to her partner, Karan Kundrra.

Tejasswi shared, “The Michelin star dream, which I have seen, the credit goes to Karan. Whenever I would go for meetings to work on things, Karan would always encourage me saying, ‘Baby I will open it for you and one day I promise, you will do so good that you will get a Michelin star.’ This confidence and dream is because of after Karan encouraged me.”

When celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor asked if she had ever considered opening a restaurant on her own, Tejasswi replied, “I never thought of doing it alone. I wanted to do it in partnership or franchisee and learn on the go.”

In a touching gesture, Sanjeev Kapoor offered Tejasswi his contact card, telling her to reach out whenever she needed guidance. Visibly emotional, she responded, “I am going to hold on to this and call you to clear my doubts. This is huge.” The moment left a powerful impact on both the audience and Tejasswi, highlighting her sincere passion for food and her eagerness to learn.

The pre-finale episode was also filled with warmth as the finalists' families came to support them. A standout moment was the surprise appearance of Karan Kundrra, who brought his iconic panda jacket for Tejasswi — a sentimental token from their time together on Bigg Boss. “This is a good luck charm from me,” Karan said. “We were doing a show together, it was my jacket and I had given it to Teju then. It was with her, but right now it was at my home and she had forgotten about it.”

As Tejasswi prepared her finale dish, it was clear she had all the ingredients for success — talent, passion, love, and now, guidance from India’s finest chef.
