'Laughter Chefs' turns one: Actors get emotional; Krushna Abhishek says 'I've built a different and unique relationship with each celebrity on this show'
Stirring up a storm of side-splitting laughter, culinary-comedy crossover 'Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment' has officially completed one deliciously flavourful year — and audiences can't get enough of its dinnertainment quotient! As the beloved show blows out its first birthday candle in style, its team pays tribute to millions of loyal viewers who feasted on the cook-off extravaganza. Hosted by the ever-hilarious Bharti Singh and seasoned with the sizzling expertise of Celebrity Chef Coach Harpal Singh Sokhi, Laughter Chefs has redefined what it means to blend flavours and fun. From amateur celeb cooks exploring the kitchen space, to dishing out never-before-seen recipes from corners of the globe, the show has bee56444n a masaledaar blockbuster. The show kicked off with a concept that seemed almost too zany to work — putting celebrities who can barely boil water into a kitchen battlefield; and that very format turned out to be a recipe for roaring success. Each episode has served up a hearty helping of giggles, drama, and foodgasm-worthy dishes. From botched rotis and spilled gravies to unexpected gourmet triumphs, Laughter Chefs has been the audience's weekly dose of 'dinnertainment'. The mix of chaos and camaraderie between the celebrity contestants, each with their own quirks and hilarious kitchen chemistry, has given fans a peek behind the curtain of their off-screen personalities. After the humongous success of the first season, the second one came in like a piping hot main course on popular demand. With fans now well-versed in the 'kitchen combat' dynamics, the second season brought back some new and familiar faces, new rivalries, upgraded gags, and a continued celebration of cooking. Bharti Singh said, "All of us on Laughter Chefs feel like we belong to it as one would belong to a family. I've seen celebs who were terrified of pressure cookers become pressure performers! But more than that, I've come to believe something: the way a person cooks reveals who they are. Through this show, people got to see that their favourite stars are just like them — some are messy, some don't know what they're doing in the kitchen, some have the most commendable attention spans, others come up with unique solutions, and many find humour in the most unexpected places. Their personalities pour into the cooking process. It's been such a treat to witness that raw, real side — and even more heartwarming to see viewers stay with us through it all." Krushna Abhishek said, "What's made it truly special for me is that I've built a different and unique relationship with each celebrity on this show. My mantra in life is simple — assign an emotion to a bond and stay committed to it — and I bring this approach into my jokes too. And it touched me to see that the audiences seem to have done the same — they've attached emotions to the show, they know our quirks, our chemistry, our chaos, just like they know their own family members. To build that kind of connection in just one year... that's a blessing. So, as we celebrate one trip around the sun, I just want to say — thank you for opening your hearts to us."

Laughter Chef's Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi: It's very important to learn how to let go of anger
Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi , who is seen in Laughter Chefs , says that it is important to learn how to control your anger in today's times. He adds that not reacting to something right away can bring you more happiness than you realise. 'I think one simple piece of advice is this: everyone feels angry sometimes, and that's normal. But it's very important to learn how to let go of anger. Try to control it instead of reacting right away. If you can develop this habit over time, it will help you a lot in life. Also, try to smile more. If someone in front of you is angry, don't react with anger. Instead, smile at them calmly. That simple smile can make the other person cool down,' he says. Meanwhile, he says that actors who like comedy should take up such roles more often. 'If comedy comes naturally to someone, then it is a great art. There are many people who do satirical comedy without even using facial expressions. Many actors perform this type of comedy with a serious face, but their timing, dialogue delivery, and expressions still make people laugh. That's the beauty of it, making people laugh without being loud or overly expressive. But let me tell you, being funny and natural at the same time is not easy. It's actually a very tough job. Acting itself requires a lot of focus, and adding comedy to that makes it even more challenging. There are many films in which we've seen great examples of this. Take Hera Pheri, for example. Even its sequel had brilliant comic timing . In the end, I feel comedy is a God-gifted talent. Some people are naturally blessed with a sense of humour and the ability to make others laugh comes from within,' he says. He adds, 'My favourite comedian in Bollywood is Johnny Lever . We've been watching him for many years now. He has stayed consistent with his performances throughout his career. In Bollywood, I feel he has brought a different kind of seriousness to comedy. His expressions, timing, and style of humour are truly unique. He's a serious comic talent, and his facial expressions alone can make anyone laugh.' As for comic shows, he says, 'I think I really enjoy clean comedy , the kind that makes people laugh without being vulgar or offensive. I don't connect with nonsense comedy; it's not something I prefer. Clean comedy is important because it leaves a lasting impression and becomes a beautiful memory. That's the kind of content I personally like to watch and listen to.'
