Sunita Ahuja’s witty marriage jibes steal the show on MasterChef India
MUMBAI: MasterChef India turned its kitchen into a high-spirited kitty party as Sunita Ahuja, wife of Bollywood star Govinda, brought glamour, humour and candid life advice to the cooking reality show.
The upcoming episode featured a lively exchange between Sunita, chef Vikas Khanna and contestant Saishree, as discussions drifted from recipes to marriage and career ambitions. When Saishree said she wanted to prioritise building her business before tying the knot, Sunita applauded the sentiment, joking that marriage often leads to “Barbadi” and urging the young contestant to stand on her own feet first.
The banter intensified when Vikas Khanna suggested that while careers matter, marriage remains a beautiful milestone. Quick to pounce, Sunita asked the celebrity chef why he himself had not married yet, prompting laughter across the MasterChef kitchen.
Khanna responded that personal connection mattered more to him than rushing into marriage. Unconvinced, Sunita teased that she would now find him a suitable bride, cheekily asking whether he wanted someone like her, even better, or simply “shareef”.
The exchange ended on a charming note when Khanna paid Sunita a glowing compliment, drawing cheers from contestants and guests alike.
The episode forms part of MasterChef India’s special week, airing Monday to Friday at 8 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and streaming on Sony LIV.
