Today’s episode begins with the host introducing the celebrity judges for the grand cooking competition.
The first judge, Chef Manpreet Singh, receives a grand welcome. Leela misunderstands the host’s introduction, thinking Manpreet delivers food across the world. Hasmuk quickly clarifies that the chef has actually made Indian cuisine famous globally. Meanwhile, Vasundhara comments that Manpreet looks so strict she could even find mistakes on an empty plate. Anil agrees, saying he has watched her show and knows how tough she is.
Prem looks worried and tells Shruti that Chef Manpreet won’t tolerate even the smallest mistake. However, Anupama remains calm and reminds everyone that strict judges always recognize true talent. 🌟
👨🍳 Roy and Sikander Join the Judging Panel
The host then welcomes the second judge, Roy. Digvijay reveals that he already knows Roy personally, making Ishani hopeful that the connection might benefit their team. However, Digvijay quickly clears the air, saying Roy is a complete professional and will judge only on the basis of taste.
Soon, the third judge, Sikander, is introduced. Anupama happily says that every competition is a learning experience and they should make the most of this opportunity.

For the first time, a mother-in-law and her son-in-law will compete against each other.
The host asks Prem why he entered the competition.
With complete confidence, Prem replies,
“I’m here only to win.”
His confident attitude impresses Chef Manpreet, while Sikander smiles and says the real test will begin once the cooking starts.
When the same question is asked to Anupama, she confidently responds that Prem and Rahi wanted this competition, and she has accepted their challenge.
Anupama further reveals that she dreams of building her own house, making this competition extremely important for her.
Chef Manpreet criticizes Anupama for bringing personal emotions into a reality show. However, Roy immediately defends Anupama, saying it is unfair to judge someone’s intentions before the competition has even begun. Sikander also supports Roy’s opinion.
🍽️ Abara Ka Dabara Round Begins
The host announces the first challenge, “Abara Ka Dabara.”
Each team must prepare a dish assigned by the judges. Only two members from every team are allowed to visit the pantry and collect ingredients.
Anupama wisely sends Kinjal and Prerna.
On the other side, Rahi suggests that she and Khyati should go for Prem’s team. However, Prem immediately rejects her suggestion.
He firmly tells Rahi not to interfere with his decisions because he cannot afford to lose this competition. Instead, Prem sends Shruti along with Rahi to collect the ingredients.
His harsh behaviour leaves everyone surprised.

The judges finally announce the dishes for all four teams. The contestants are not allowed to discuss the dishes with their team leaders.
Anupama’s team receives an Italian dish.
While reading the recipe, Anupama struggles to pronounce the word “Rosette.”
Seeing this, Prem mocks her in front of everyone and sarcastically says,
“If you can’t even pronounce the name of the dish, how will you cook it?”
Anupama ignores the taunt and prepares herself for the difficult challenge ahead.
