Replacing a great show like Kaali with MasterChef would definitely clear all my doubts that SP has totally lost it..!🤔 Nothing has been confirmed yet but rumors mean big thing in the world of SP. Kaali encourages the society to fight against evil without losing hope and unlike those typical saas-bahu rona dhona, it presents the reality of our society to us.😊
