Ananya Panday`s wedding menu revealed by mother Bhavana Panday

In MasterChef India`s Shaadi Special week, the kitchen transforms into a grand wedding venue with the presence of Bollywood’s OG power couple Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey. The special episode raises the stakes with the show’s first team service challenge, The Great Indian Wedding Buffet, where contestants are tasked with preparing an elaborate seven-dish wedding spread, capturing the scale, pressure, and emotion of a real Indian wedding.

Adding humour and heart to the festivities, Chunky Panday sets the tone with his trademark wit, joking, “I always wanted to get married twice, and that too with Bhavana.” Bhavana playfully counters by revealing that while Chunky never forgets their anniversary, gifts are another story altogether. Chunky’s quick comeback leaves everyone in stitches as he quips, “Because if I forget the anniversary, I wouldn’t be here. I would have been in the hospital.”

As the MasterChef India jodis battle it out to impress with their wedding-worthy menus, the episode delivers another fun reveal when the celebrity couple is asked about their dream menu for daughter Ananya Panday’s wedding. Playing the doting mother, Bhavana instantly shares her wishlist: “Mutton curry, Indian-style tiramisu, garlic pickle, and purple parathas.” The candid moment sparks laughter on set while giving viewers a peek into the Panday family’s celebratory tastes.

The brand new season of MasterChef India pays homage to partnerships, shared journeys, and the collective spirit to grow and inspire that defines India today. The Shaadi Special promises a delightful mix of emotion, humour, and culinary spectacle – making it a must-watch.

Shilpa Shetty pays ode to India on MasterChef

Coinciding with festivals such as Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Magh Bihu, the Harvest Special becomes a vibrant reflection of India’s shared spirit.

Welcoming the season of harvest, Shilpa Shetty beautifully captured the sentiment, saying, “At this time, the whole of India is engulfed in the colours of harvest and festivals. Sometimes Pongal, sometimes Sankranti, sometimes Bihu, sometimes Lohri. The names may be different, but the aim is one, happiness.” 

Sharing her experience of being part of the Harvest Special, Shilpa added, “The Harvest Special episode of MasterChef India felt truly special to me. Every dish narrated a unique story, every flavour paid homage to our rich culinary traditions, and together they came alive as a celebration of Indian talent that is stepping forward with confidence, creativity, and fearlessness on a global stage.”
