After winning Laughter Chefs Season 2 and once again making it to the grand finale in Season 3, Elvish Yadav says the cooking reality show has given him memories that go far beyond the competition. From emotional reunions to cherished friendships, the YouTuber-turned-reality star reflected on the moments that stayed with him throughout the season.
Speaking about the grand finale, Elvish admitted that it was an emotional day for everyone on the set. "The finale moment was when we got emotional. We were all in tears." Another highlight for him was seeing Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain return to the show. Their comeback left him overwhelmed with happiness. "When Vicky bhai and Ankita Bhabhi had returned to the show, I was very happy and had gotten emotional seeing them back." However, the biggest turning point in his journey came when he reunited with Karan Kundrra as his cooking partner. Elvish said nothing matched the excitement of teaming up with Karan again and eventually reaching the finale together. "When I became Karan bhai's partner again, I was the happiest. Nothing could compare to the joy of having him back as my partner on the show and even when we reached the finale together."
Looking back at his culinary journey, Elvish revealed that one particular dish remains his proudest achievement on the show. "The dish I'm most proud of is the aloo wadi. That is one dish I'll always remember."
Beyond the cooking challenges, Laughter Chefs also became a family for the contestants, thanks to the camaraderie behind the scenes. Asked who brought the most positive energy on set, Elvish was quick to name a few of his closest co-stars. "Bharti di and her food is amazing, she cooks for us with her heart. But if we talk about the best dabbas on set that come from home, Arjun bhai's dabba and Tejasswi's dabba, they bring some really delicious dishes everytime."
From emotional farewells and heartfelt reunions to memorable dishes and lasting friendships, Elvish's Laughter Chefs 3 journey was filled with moments that extended well beyond the kitchen. Having reached yet another finale, he says the relationships he built on the show are what he will cherish the most.
