Farah Khan, Dilip Mukhija bring drama and fun to Mangal Lakshmi’s cooking competition

Colors TV’s daily drama Mangal Lakshmi is gearing up for a lively twist as filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan and popular YouTube personality Dilip Mukhija step into the show for a special episode built around the Pehla Swaad cooking competition. The channel has been teasing a surprise for its audience, and this collaboration now sets the stage for a finale packed with humour, energy and friendly chaos.

The Pehla Swaad track has been central to the recent storyline, placing Mangal at the heart of a competitive culinary challenge while she navigates personal hurdles, family politics and constant sabotage attempts. With Farah Khan’s signature wit and Dilip’s easygoing charm, the makers are adding an extra layer of colour to the show’s ongoing tension. Their appearance is designed not only to elevate the competition but also to break the seriousness that has surrounded Mangal’s journey over the past few weeks.

According to unit sources, Farah and Dilip are brought in as celebrity guests for the final round, where contestants need to showcase skill, speed and emotional storytelling through food. Their banter, reactions and light-hearted judging style are expected to create standout moments. Dilip, who built his online presence through simple home-cooking content and relatable humour, fits naturally into the warm, family-oriented tone of Mangal Lakshmi.

The show had recently introduced Neelu Vaghela as Bhabiji, a strict chef and mentor in the competition. Her no-nonsense attitude has already put immense pressure on Mangal, especially with Saumya’s conspiracies working against her. With Farah and Dilip joining the panel, the dynamic shifts again — giving Mangal a chance to shine or stumble in front of personalities who value authenticity as much as technique.

This episode also serves as a mini-event for Colors, blending the worlds of television and digital creators at a time when audiences enjoy crossover appearances. For viewers invested in Mangal’s struggle, the finale becomes more than a cooking contest. It becomes a test of resilience, confidence and self-belief.
