Shilpa Shetty pays ode to India on MasterChef
Shilpa Shetty graced the show last month during its Harvest Special episode. Coinciding with festivals such as Pongal, Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Magh Bihu, the Harvest Special became 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.”
