In a heartfelt moment on Celebrity MasterChef, actor Gaurav Khanna opened up about his struggle with color blindness, a condition that challenges his ability to distinguish certain colors. During a cooking challenge, the judges critiqued the uniformity of colors in his dish. Gaurav candidly responded, “I do suffer from colour blindness and it’s a disease. Whenever I go to a new city or a place, I can’t differentiate between colours. And it’s not curable.”
This revelation led to a controversial exchange with judge Farah Khan, who reacted with disbelief, questioning, “What rubbish?” and pointedly asked about the colors of fellow judge Vikas Khanna’s jacket. Gaurav explained that the jacket appeared somewhere between red and orange to him.
The incident sparked public backlash against Farah Khan, with viewers criticizing her remarks as insensitive. Despite this, Gaurav continued to participate in the competition with humor and determination, earning praise for his resilience and positive attitude.
Gaurav’s openness about his condition has brought attention to the challenges faced by individuals with color blindness, especially in visually demanding fields like cooking. His journey on Celebrity MasterChef serves as an inspiration, highlighting the importance of perseverance and self-belief in overcoming personal challenges.
