Chef Become Kids on Junior Masterchef!

It seems the judges of STAR Plus' brand new show' Junior Masterchef Swaad ke Ustaad' are having a ball of a time while shooting with the contestants. Chef Vikas Khanna, Chef Kunal Kapur and Chef Soorajan Sing Jolly who are the judges on the show have often been caught playing on the sets of the show.

While the judges are surprised, with talent that these young chefs are showcasing, the unit is also shocked how the chefs are often caught playing on the show. Yes you read it right; since the set has various children friendly toys and props, very often the chefs are caught playing with them.

When contacted Chef Kunal Kapur he confirmed the news and said, "We all had last played with these toys when we were kids and now we have again got access to them on this set. It has totally taken me back to my childhood and has again awakened the kid in me!"

Also to add on, during the auditions of 'Junior Masterchef Swaad Ke Ustaad' most of the contestants requested to meet Masterchef Season 3 winner Ripu Handa. In fact there was one such contestant who refused to give audition until the Chef makes her speak to Ripu.

This is not all when the judges asked the contestants who was their inspiration most of the children took Chef Ripu Daman Handa's name.

It seems the winner of MasterChef Season 3, Ripu Handa has already got a huge fan following not only amongst youngsters but also within children.

When quizzed Ripu on this, he said, "It was really an overwhelming experience to get a call from a fan and that too my youngest. I am really lucky and now feel responsible that so many people look up to me. Masterchef has made me a celebrity overnight and now I am looking forward to see this talented bunch create a food fiesta."
