When Gaurav Khanna presented his composition to the judges, he was not very impressed by his offering. When he told that the actor used the same colors in his dish, Gaurav admitted the color being blind.
While Chef Vikas Khanna expressed sympathy for Gaurav, Farah rejected the claim by saying, “What nonsense?”. Then he pointed to Vikas’s red jacket and asked Gaurav if he could not see a blue jacket.
