Netizens slam Masterchef India judges for favoring contestant Aruna to cook with paneer instead of fish
The recent episode of Masterchef India has been receiving a lot of heat from netizens. The episode witnessed judges Garima Arora, Ranveer Brar, and Vikas Khanna giving the liberty to contestant Aruna to select a vegetarian protein.
The episode showed the judges letting her opt for paneer instead of fish which made several netizens call them biased. One of the users wrote, “Height of favouritism by @SonyTV Aruna allowed to chose protein of her one choice jus cuz she is a vegetarian. Never such partiality has happened in other versions of Masterchef. If she can’t cook non-veg food or out of her comfort zone she shd leave the show. #MasterchefIndia.”
Another compared Masterchef Australia to Masterchef India and wrote, “In MasterChef Australia, an Indian had to cook beef even if she was vegetarian, but she cooked…to be a chef one should know everything it doesn’t depends on one’s own food routine.”
Another tweet read, “Priya was asked to be flexible and was evicted for ‘staying true to her beliefs’ … Meanwhile Aruna gets the option of cooking with Paneer, while others HAD TO cook with the chosen protein… Okay… Not biased at all. #MasterChefIndia.”
Some of them even tweeted that the judges are biased toward Aruna and another contestant Gurkirat.
