For the first time, the kids were taken out of the kitchen for a fun outdoor trip to Adlabs Imagica, India’s largest entertainment theme park at Khopoli. Chef Vikas, Chef Kunal and Chef Surjan Singh Jolly along with the entire unit of Junior Masterchef Swaad Ke Ustaad were seen shooting a special outdoor segment at the theme park through the day. While the little contestants were thrilled to experience the rides, the Chefs were taken back into time and reminisced their childhood days. From the roller coaster – Gold Rush Express to the Magic Carousel, a merry go round, the judges and the kids ensured that they made the most of this experience and tried every ride!
With the MasterChef team around, one thing you can be sure of is that they would skip a chance to satiate their taste buds – try out the food palate offered. The Chefs and kids tasted different cuisines at Red Bonnet American Dinner to the Imagica Capital to Roberto’s Food Coaster.
Talking about the experience, Chef Kunal said, “This place reminded me of all the fun things that I have done as a child with my friends. It was really great, the contestants and all of us bonded well, we had good time together something that we have been planning for a while. The kids really brought out the child in us.”
Sakshi who was amazed to be at the park said, “I had never seen such a huge park and such huge rides. We enjoyed most of the rides and would have loved to stay a little longer. It was funny to watch the Judges getting scared and screaming on the big rides!”

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
