In the bustling city of Mumbai, the beloved cooking-based television program “Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment” is set to air its final episode this coming October. The show, which first captured audiences’ hearts in June 2024, has featured a dazzling array of celebrities, from Ankita Lokhande and Aly Goni to Rahul Vaidya, and is hosted by the ever-entertaining Bharti Singh. The culinary contest is judged by the renowned celebrity chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, adding a layer of professional scrutiny to the entertainment.
The series, which combines the culinary arts with comedic performances, had generated a significant buzz recently, with rumors suggesting it would continue till the second week of January 2025. However, an insider has debunked these rumors, confirming that the show will conclude its first season in October to make way for the new season of the high-profile reality show “Bigg Boss.”
The insider elaborated, “Initially, the channel had informed all the participating actors and requested their availability until January 2025. However, the final contract was never signed, so the extension isn’t happening. The show will air its last episode in October.”
In addition to its star-studded lineup, “Laughter Chefs” also includes Ankita Lokhande’s husband, Vicky Jain. Other notable personalities such as Arjun Bijlani, Krushna Abhishek, Karan Kundrra, Nia Sharma, Jannat Zubair Rahmani, Reem Shaikh, Sudesh Lehri, and Kashmera Shah have also graced the show, making it a memorable ensemble. Broadcasting on Colors TV, the show managed to gather a considerable fan base.
As “Laughter Chefs” prepares for its swansong, another major show is gearing up for a grand return. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is set to resume his hosting duties for the 18th season of “Bigg Boss,” scheduled to premiere on October 6 on Colors TV. The controversial and highly-watched reality show promises more drama and excitement this season. Comedian-singer Munawar Faruqui was crowned the winner of the previous season, adding to the show’s legacy.

Meanwhile, the actors from “Laughter Chefs” have various projects keeping them busy. Ankita Lokhande was most recently seen in the movie “Swatantrya Veer Savarkar,” a biographical film based on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The film, directed, co-written, and co-produced by Randeep Hooda, also featured Hooda in the titular role, offering a gripping portrayal of the legendary freedom fighter.
Arjun Bijlani, who started his television career in 2004 with the youth-focused series “Kartika” opposite Jennifer Winget, showcased his daredevilry by winning the stunt-based reality show “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.” More recently, he served as the host for “MTV Splitsvilla 14” and starred as the lead in the TV opera “Pyar Ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti.”
Fans have expressed their disappointment regarding the conclusion of “Laughter Chefs,” describing it as a unique blend of humor and culinary talent that set it apart from other cooking shows. A social media user commented, “It’s a shame to see such an entertaining show end so soon; it had the potential to go on for years.”
As “Bigg Boss” looms on the horizon, expectations are high. The reality show has an undeniable knack for gripping audience attention with its blend of high-octane drama, conflicts, and celebrity guest appearances. The return of Salman Khan as the host is a major draw, ensuring that the show retains its sensational appeal.
The transition from “Laughter Chefs” to “Bigg Boss 18” marks a significant programming shift for Colors TV, reflecting the network’s strategy to keep its content fresh and engaging. With fan anticipation building up for both shows, October promises to be a month filled with emotional farewells and new beginnings in the world of Indian television.
“Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment” may be bidding adieu, but its impact and the joy it brought to its viewers will be remembered for a long time. As fans prepare to say goodbye, they also eagerly await the fresh controversies and challenges that “Bigg Boss” will bring to their screens. The curtain may be falling on one spectacle, but the stage is already set for another rollercoaster ride of emotions and entertainment.
