MUMBAI :Popular chef Vikas Khanna gets candid about his co-judge Garima Arora on the 7th season of cooking reality show 'MasterChef India'. Ranveer Brar will also be seen among the panel of judges.
Vikas said very few women in the country have gained so much success as a chef like Garima and he also appreciated her creativity in cooking different varieties of food.
He said: "There are very few chefs and even more so very few women chefs who gain the kind of success that Garima has, which only goes to show that her hard work paid off. She was always one to believe in herself and pursue her dreams in earnest. For her, food is an art and so when she plates the food, she is showing the world a piece of herself and presenting to the world her inspiring creativity."
Garima started her career with journalism and later pursued cooking as a passion and in 2018 became the first Indian woman to win a Michelin star. In 2019, she turned out to be Asia's Best Female Chef for the year by World's 50 Best Restaurant.

She is a true inspiration for all the budding chefs and home chefs out there who are passionate about cooking, regardless of gender."

It feels amazing to see friends shine and claim their space in the world. The spotlight shines on Garima."
