Mumbai: The popular cooking-based television show ‘Laughter Chefs-Unlimited Entertainment’ will soon bid farewell to its loyal viewers as it is slated to air its final episode this October. The show, which has garnered significant attention for its unique blend of cooking and comedy segments, features an ensemble of celebrity participants including Ankita Lokhande, Aly Goni, Rahul Vaidya, among others. Hosted by the effervescent Bharti Singh, the show has been judged by the renowned celebrity chef Harpal Singh Sokhi.
Premiering in June 2024 on Colors channel, ‘Laughter Chefs’ quickly became a favorite among food and entertainment enthusiasts alike, owing to its innovative format and star-studded lineup. The news of its abrupt conclusion has left fans in a state of disappointment, especially given the recent speculations that the show would continue until the second week of January 2025.
An inside source revealed, “Laughter Chefs season one is all set to air its last episode in October, due to the upcoming season of the controversial reality show ‘Bigg Boss’.” The source further explained that initially, the channel had informed the actors and sought their availability until January. However, the final contract with the actors remained unsigned, leading to the decision to wrap up the show sooner than anticipated.
The show not only features popular television actress Ankita Lokhande but also includes her husband Vicky Jain. The ensemble cast is further complemented by the talents of Arjun Bijlani, Krushna Abhishek, Karan Kundrra, Nia Sharma, Jannat Zubair Rahmani, Reem Shaikh, Sudesh Lehri, and Kashmera Shah.
As ‘Laughter Chefs’ prepares for its final bow, fans are also gearing up for the return of yet another beloved television spectacle—’Bigg Boss’. Hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, ‘Bigg Boss’ is set to return for its 18th season with a premiere slated for October 6 on Colors. The previous season saw comedian-singer Munawar Faruqui emerging as the winner, and expectations are high for the new season.

While ‘Laughter Chefs’ has been a significant project for many of its cast members, their careers continue to flourish in other domains. Ankita Lokhande, for instance, was last seen in the movie ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’, based on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Directed, co-written, and co-produced by Randeep Hooda, who also played the titular role, the film has been a milestone in Ankita’s acting journey.
Arjun Bijlani, another prominent face on ‘Laughter Chefs’, has an impressive television career dating back to 2004 when he starred opposite Jennifer Winget in the youth-based series ‘Kartika’. Recently, he won the stunt-based reality show ‘Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’ and has also served as the host for ‘MTV Splitsvilla 14’. He was last seen as the lead in the television opera ‘Pyar Ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti’.
Krushna Abhishek and Karan Kundrra are also widely recognized for their comedic and dramatic roles on Indian television, respectively. Nia Sharma has continuously wowed audiences with her performances in various high-profile TV dramas. Jannat Zubair Rahmani, Reem Shaikh, Sudesh Lehri, and Kashmera Shah are equally celebrated for their contributions to the show and the entertainment industry at large.
The concluding episodes of ‘Laughter Chefs’ are expected to be a mix of nostalgia and celebration as the show wraps up its successful run. Though the fans are saddened by the early goodbye, the anticipation for the upcoming season of ‘Bigg Boss’ offers a silver lining.
In summary, while ‘Laughter Chefs-Unlimited Entertainment’ has been a delightful journey for its audience and participants, all eyes are now turning towards new beginnings with the launch of ‘Bigg Boss 18’. The transition marks another chapter in Indian television’s dynamic landscape, promising new entertainment and excitement for its ardent viewers.
