The latest episode of Celebrity MasterChef India Episode 33, which aired on 12 March 2025, at 8 PM on Sony TV and streamed on Sony LIV, continued the thrilling Wheel of Fortune Pair Challenge. The celebrity contestants battled it out in the kitchen, trying to create the most innovative and delicious sweet and savory dishes.
Adding to the excitement, Rajiv Adatia’s Seeti Advantage twist created a major hurdle for one pair, making this episode even more dramatic!
Let’s dive into all the key highlights, challenges, and surprises from this exciting episode.
Wheel of Fortune Pair Challenge – Cooking Begins!
At the start of Celebrity MasterChef India Episode 33, all four pairs of celebrity contestants began cooking their dishes assigned in the Wheel of Fortune Pair Challenge. Each pair had to prepare one sweet dish and one savory dish using the hero ingredients assigned to them in the previous episode by special guest Chef Ajay Chopra.
- Tejasswi Prakash & Usha Nadkarni → Fortune Soya Chunks (Savory), Tamarind (Sweet)
- Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim & Faisal Shaikh → Sage (Sweet), Galangal (Savory)
- Rajiv Adatia & Nikki Tamboli → Kaffir Lime (Choice: Sweet or Savory), Bourbon Whiskey (Savory)
- Archana Gautam & Gaurav Khanna → Kiwi (Sweet), Butternut Squash (Savory)
With a 75-minute time limit, the celebrity contestants focused on crafting their dishes with precision, trying to impress both the judges and a group of surprise guests.
Mid-Challenge – The Seeti Advantage Twist!
Halfway through the challenge, judges Ranveer Brar and Farah Khan surprised the contestants with a Seeti Advantage twist!
Since Rajiv Adatia won the previous Cook Along Challenge, he had the power to disadvantage any one pair in the competition.
What Was the Disadvantage?
📌 Rajiv had to pick one pair, and their hands would be tied together for five minutes—one person’s left hand and the other person’s right hand. This meant they could only cook with one free hand each and had to coordinate their efforts to keep both dishes going!
Who Did Rajiv Target?
🔥 Rajiv Adatia chose Archana Gautam & Gaurav Khanna for the disadvantage, making their cooking process incredibly difficult for five crucial minutes.
Despite the setback, Archana and Gaurav pushed through, trying their best to stay on track with their dishes.
⏳ After five intense minutes, their hands were finally untied, and they resumed cooking at full speed.
Tasting Time – A Surprise for the Celebrity Contestants!
As the 75-minute time limit ended, the judges announced a shocking twist—alongside Ranveer Brar, Farah Khan, and Ajay Chopra, the dishes would also be tasted by the house helpers (maids and servants) of the celebrity contestants!
This unexpected twist made the tasting even more meaningful, as the contestants had to impress not just expert chefs but also the people who truly understand home-cooked food.
Faisal Shaikh & Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim Serve First!
The first team to present their dishes was Faisal Shaikh and Dipika Kakkar Ibrahim.
🧑🍳 Faisal’s Dish:
✔ Thai Galangal Seekh Kabab with Bao & Santom Slaw (Savory Dish)
✔ Thai Curry Dip (Accompaniment)
🧑🍳 Dipika’s Dish:
✔ Sage Globe (Sweet Dish)
The judges and house helpers tasted their dishes, appreciating the flavours and presentation. However, their final verdict will be revealed in the next episode.
🎭 The tasting of the remaining three pairs will take place in tomorrow’s episode, followed by the announcement of the winners!
