TLC to show Masterchef Canada season 5
MUMBAI: TLC, a part of Discovery, has announced the telecast of the fifth season of the culinary competition series Masterchef Canada from 26 June in India. The show is produced by Proper Television in association with CTV and co-powered by Jockey woman while Budweiser Experience has come on-board as an associate sponsor.
In each episode, the home cooks are pushed to the limit in a series of mystery box challenges, team challenges, and pressure tests, with the three judges providing direction and feedback throughout the process. Each task is designed to test and hone the home cooks’ skill, knowledge, passion, and creativity. At the conclusion of each episode at least one person is eliminated until there are only two home cooks left vying for the life-changing Masterchef Canada title. The winner will get $100,000 cash prize.
Discovery Communications India VP premium and digital networks Zulfia Waris said, “We are delighted to bring back the new season of Masterchef Canada this monsoon and welcome the next group of talented home cooks looking to make their culinary dreams a reality. The earlier seasons of Masterchef Canada have been extremely well received by food aficionados across the country. We will play up the passion even more with this exciting new season.”
The show’s format and finished programmes are represented internationally by Endemol Shine Group, and is based on a format originally created by Franc Roddam.

MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
