During a recent episode of Celebrity MasterChef, contestants Nikki Tamboli and Gaurav Khanna were involved in a heated exchange that led to Nikki walking off the set. The confrontation occurred when Gaurav, despite instructions to avoid food wastage, threw carrot peels at Nikki during a cooking challenge. Nikki found this act disrespectful and unprofessional, stating, “He threw carrot peels on my face! Despite being clearly instructed by the director not to waste food. I have always been particular about taking a stand for myself, and I couldn’t ignore this. It wasn’t just about the mess—it was about basic respect. His actions were unprofessional and disrespectful.”
The incident escalated as Nikki demanded an apology from Gaurav and refused to continue filming until he complied. She expressed, “This is disrespect. I am leaving. Do whatever you want, but until he says sorry, I won’t come back.”
This altercation has sparked mixed reactions among fans and fellow contestants, with some supporting Nikki’s stance on respect and professionalism, while others view her response as an overreaction.
