A still from Laughter Chefs 3
COLORS' 'Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment' gets a full-blown cultural tadka the moment Bhojpuri powerhouse Pawan Singh strides into the kitchen, bringing his power star vibe. This is a flavour-forward takeover because this Saturday, Teams Kaanta and Chhurri are rolling up their sleeves for Bihar's culinary classics, including Gud Thekua and Baingan Chokha. Who better than a bona fide Bhojpuri titan to set the tone? The second Pawan steps in, the kitchen instantly transforms into a full-on festive ground. As soon as his songs play, the kitchen troublemakers break into dance like muscle memory, and his one-liners become the highlights of the episode.
Not to mention, Pawan steers the mood and redirects chaos. Within minutes, the laughter chefs are auditioning for an impromptu Bhojpuri blockbuster under his guidance. He mentors them through dramatic monologues, over-the-top reactions, and full-filmi flair, all with that trademark teasing swagger only he can get away with. And when the teams circle back to their Bihari dishes, he slips into the kitchen flow like he was always meant to be there - tasting, nudging, joking, and grounding the flavours with an unmistakable sense of home.
Krushna Abhishek says, "All of us laughter chefs were very sure that we needed a Bhojpuri expert if we're going to make Bhojpuri dishes, and that's when Pawan Ji walked in. Total sone pe suhaaga! His vibe, like his songs, is iconic. He sang, he danced with all of us, he brought that pure Bhojpuri sweetness that lifts the whole room. Then he made us audition for a Bhojpuri film, roasted us, and guided us through the dishes of his state like a total pro. I thoroughly enjoyed testing out my Bhojpuri and he was such a sport, laughing at punchlines and coming up with some of his own. This treat from Bihar is not to be missed."
Apart from Pawan Singh, Kapil Sharma returns to the channel after 11 years of dispute. Krushna Abhishek, already a riotous constant on the show, instantly senses the brewing storm and decides to stoke it further. He makes his grand entrance dressed as a woman, as a nod to the characters that once made households across India collapse in laughter. The two reignited the mischief and magic that were synonymous with them. What follows is a comedy carnival! Kapil's cooking skills (or the spectacular lack thereof) become prime-time entertainment. Standing right beside him is Krushna, the most distracting, unapologetically hilarious, and deliberately unhelpful "support system" a person could have in a kitchen. He roasts, he interrupts, he breaks into characters - and Kapil turns every derailment into gold, proving why both are the country's most loved comedy stars.
