MasterChef India: Aruna Vijay’s dish gets selected in top 3, fans call out ‘favouritism’ by the channel and judges
MasterChef India: On Thursday's episode, Aruna Vijay's dish was selected in the Top 3 but netizens saw it as another act of 'favoritism'.

MasterChef India found itself amid a controversy a few days ago when contestant Aruna Vijay was allowed to cook a dish with paneer as opposed to the rest of the contestants who had to cook with fish. Now, in the latest episode, the show and its judges – Vikas Khanna, Ranveer Brar and Garima Arora, have again been accused of favouring Aruna.
On Thursday’s episode, which was a family special episode, Aruna made a dish called ‘Appam Stew’ which ended up in the top 3 dishes of the day. Netizens called out the ‘favouritism’ towards Aruna and how it appeared as though the show was ‘fixed’.
One user wrote, “After watching the latest episode of Master Chef India (season 7), I have to say I got convinced the emerging popular opinion of the show being fixed, or at least smacks of favoritism towards Aruna ji. #MasterChefIndia” They also claimed that Nayanjyothi’s dish was more complex and difficult to pull off as compared to Aruna’s.
#MasterchefIndia made me think that it is Biased towards 1-2 contestants mainly but now after i saw various tweets i can confirm it. They turned a beautiful show into sas bahu drama full on Partiality. 😂😂@SonyTV @SonyLIV @ranveerbrar @TheVikasKhanna

Two out of the best three dishes were of Gurkeerat and Aruna. I CANNOT believe that they’re favouring these two contestants SO openly!! It’s high time #MasterchefIndia @SonyTV @SonyLIV should step in and take control of this show before it’s absolutely ruined!

Another user wrote, “Sachin and Nayan’s dish was far better then Aruna’s..#MasterChefIndia.” “Appam dish looked like some leftover food served in plate without proper plating,” wrote another user.
A user pointed out the ‘biased’ nature of the show and wrote, “Wtf ! I don’t know how many times Aruna is gonna get by cooking a foam. The little appams, however well made cannot cover for the whole dish.totally baised #MasterChefIndia.”
