Laughter Chefs Season 2 Winner: Karan Kundrra And Elvish Yadav Beat Aly-Reem To Take Home Trophy
Laughter Chefs Season 2 Winner: In a grand finale hosted by Bharti Singh, Laughter Chefs Season 2 came to a close with Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav lifting the trophy, while the runner-up spot went to Aly Goni and Reem Shaikh, who received diamond stars. The finale buzzed with excitement as fans cheered for the unlikely winning pair.
This season was full of surprises – from unexpected entries to funny moments and emotional scenes. Krushna Abhishek brought nonstop laughs, while Sudesh Lehri added his classic humour. Aly Goni and Nia Sharma returned with great energy, Rubina Dilaik owned her space, and Vicky-Ankita's playful fights became a fan favourite. With Bharti Singh's jokes and Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi's cooking tips, every episode served up fun and food.
Karan and Elvish made a strong team. Their Mexican dish was so good, Chef Harpal saluted them during the episode – something that had never happened before. Elvish improved in the kitchen, while Karan kept things entertaining with his yoga moves and jokes. The duo earned the most golden stars and took home the title.
Karan Kundrra, reflecting on his win, said, 'Coming back for Season 2 turned out to be one of the most special experiences I've had in a long time. There was a kind of ease on this set that's hard to describe – no pressure, no overthinking, just people genuinely enjoying themselves. I felt like I was returning to a family that missed me. . I joined mid-season, had zero prep, and suddenly I was in this high-pressure kitchen with Elvish, who operates on pure instinct and jugaad, and somehow, it just clicked. What's precious to me is that this journey with all its fun, flaws, and flavour sends a simple but powerful message: that everyone can cook, and everyone should. Because food isn't about perfection, it's about connection."
Elvish Yadav, on wrapping up the season with a win, shared, 'When I entered Laughter Chefs, I thought it would be a fun break – a few laughs, some kitchen disasters, and then back to regular life. But this show had other plans. From the very first week, it pulled me into its vibe. And when Karan and I teamed up, it was an instant vibe match. We never overplanned, we just showed up, had fun, and stayed real. Kitchen was a new territory for me, but this journey taught me so much. I now have a very different appreciation and respect for those who cook regularly. What stands out for me is that my mom got to witness all of it: the mistakes, the growth, the final win."

Kishore Kumar Was Asked To Bribe A Minister To Win National Award: 'Got A Call From...'
Last Updated: Kishore Kumar's son revealed that the late legend was asked to 'give something' to a government official. The 71st National Film Awards were announced yesterday, August 1, and Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji secured their first wins in over 30 years of being in the film industry. This fact has left many fans shocked. However, did you know that cinema stalwarts like Kishore Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Dev Anand and Madhubala never won a National Award? In fact, Kishore Kumar was once asked to bribe someone in the ministry to bag a win. In an earlier chat with Vickey Lalwani, Kishore Kumar's son, Amit Kumar, revealed that the late legend was once close to winning the National Award for Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein. Kishore Kumar played a serious role in the 1964 film opposite his son Amit Kumar. The film was a huge box office success and was even considered for the National Award. However, the film's road to achievement was blocked by a demand for a bribe by 'someone' in the ministry. Amit Kumar revealed, 'He got a call from Delhi from someone in the Ministry. At that time, Haqeeqat, Dosti, and Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein were being considered (for the National Award). They told my father, 'If you do something, give something, then we can get you nominated.' My father was like, 'Why are you after my life? My film is a hit.'" 'The film ran for 23 weeks at Super Cinema. In Delhi-UP, the film was a silver jubilee. Then he sold the rights to a Tamil filmmaker. The remake was called Ramu. That won the National Award," Amit noted. Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein, an adaptation of the American film The Proud Rebel, was remade in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam due to its commercial success. Kishore Kumar passed away on October 13, 1987, leaving behind a legacy that transcends generations. Kishore Kumar, an iconic figure in Indian cinema, left an indelible mark as a multifaceted genius—singer, actor, director, and composer. Known for his natural acting and effortless singing, his performances in films like Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Padosan (1968), and Half Ticket (1962) became legendary. Despite a stellar career, Kishore Kumar never won a National Award. First Published: August 02, 2025, 07:48 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
