Vikas Khanna said, “There are times when I feel like I’ve seen everything and it’s just a repeat. But this… this is something new. Yeh nahi expect kiya tha." While Ranveer, who seemed stunned said, “Yeh dessert zinda hai, drop by drop. Ek hi dil hai dost, kitni baar jeetoge?" 

The viral dish garnered praise from many social media users but could not pass the test from them all. Some claimed that his dish was not original but is taken from Swiss chef, Dives Josh, who took the picture of himself with his dish and uploaded on Instagram. He shared the picture along with a promo of the show featuring Gaurav Khanna and took a dig at his creation by posting laughing emojis and captioning it as “Well done, so creative…" 

In another Instagram story, he shared the dish by him and wrote “original”.

Aren't most dishes inspired by or replicated sometime or the other? #CelebrityMasterChef It seems very embarrassing please do look into this People are trolling Gaurav Khanna.”
