  • Several celebrities, including Isha Malviya, are exiting Laughter Chefs Season 3
  • Nia Sharma and Sudesh Lehri to join as new duo, replacing departing contestants
  • Gurmeet, Debina, Vivian, and Eisha Singh exit for new projects and commitments.

Multiple celebrities seem to be leaving Laughter Chefs Season 3, which may result in significant changes in pairings and could affect the show’s TRP.

Following Isha Malviya's confirmation of her exit, sources indicate that celebrities like Gurmeet Choudhary, Debina Bonnerjee, Vivian Dsena, and others might similarly be departing from the series.

Moneycontrol.com already reported that Isha Malviya and Vivian Dsena are set to leave Laughter Chefs 3, and Eisha Singh, Gurmeet, and Debina will also be departing. Isha is said to be receiving her major opportunity with her upcoming ventures. Due to her conflicting schedule, she is departing from Laughter Chefs 3.

With Vivian and Eisha Singh departed, the duo set to take their place is said to be Nia Sharma and Sudesh Lehri, according to TOI.

Vivian is said to be part of a new fictional series on the same network. Due to this reason, he will be departing from Laughter Chefs 3, as the actor's hectic schedule does not permit him any time.

Gurmeet and Debina are said to be leaving Laughter Chefs 3 due to existing obligations. Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain will take the place of the duo.

Sudesh’s major comeback in the third season is exciting, as he was one of the most loved figures on the show for his sense of humor. His dynamic with partner Nia Sharma was a show staple. Popular moments include their "crazy meets," where Nia jokingly "choked" him or "broke his knee" in mock frustration over his slow cooking. Sudesh frequently flirts with her for comedic effect, often calling himself her "diwana" (crazy lover) while failing to help with the actual cooking.

Not only that, but one of the key entertainment factors about Sudesh was him playing an "arrogant" version of himself in response to Krushna's constant jokes about his age or professional relevance, leading to high-energy comedic standoffs.

Laughter Chefs 3 sets so far have been:

Presenters—Bharti Singh and Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi
