The latest episode of

Celebrity MasterChef

has sparked a massive social media debate, with Nikki Tamboli once again finding herself at the center of controversy. After a heated argument with Anupamaa actor

Gaurav Khanna

, netizens have brutally trolled her, calling her “overdramatic” and demanding her elimination from the show.
The cooking challenge required contestants to prepare a variety of dishes using coconut as the key ingredient. The teams were led by Gaurav Khanna and Archana Gautam, with Gaurav’s team consisting of Nikki Tamboli, Tejasswi Prakash, and Kabita Singh.
Despite being in the same team, Nikki and Gaurav clashed yet again. Nikki prepared a paneer-based dish that received praise from the judges, but she quickly took sole credit for it, implying that Gaurav was not a capable team captain. Gaurav, however, pointed out that Kabita had also contributed to the dish, which led to a heated argument between him and Nikki.
While the judges may have appreciated Nikki’s dish, social media had a completely different reaction to her behavior. Viewers criticized her attitude, calling her a “drama queen” and “attention-seeker.” Many felt she was intentionally targeting Gaurav throughout the competition.

One user wrote, “Overacting, drama queen contestant. Nikki ko eliminate kar do, tolerate nahi ho rahi.” Another added, “Nikki bina wajah Gaurav ke peeche padi hai starting se.”
Fans of Gaurav Khanna also praised his patience, with one commenting, “Nikki has been too much. Gaurav has been patient throughout with her. She is a jealous person.” Others went as far as calling for her exit from the show, saying, “Dimag kharab hai Nikki Tamboli ka. Hope she gets eliminated soon!”
While reality TV thrives on drama, it seems like Nikki’s behavior is backfiring. Fans of Celebrity MasterChef have been vocal about their frustration, and if this backlash continues, she might just be at risk of elimination. Will she change her approach in the coming episodes, or will the trolling intensify? Only time will tell.
