Vikas Khanna calls this couple’s love ‘Rare’ as MasterChef India celebrates jodis, Mayank Raja and Alpana Agarwala
As MasterChef India kicks off with its much-awaited premiere, the new season continues to celebrate not just talent but also human stories that come from every corner of the country. One such heartwarming moment unfolds with a couple, Mayank Raja and Alpana Agarwala, whose journey together spans an extraordinary 33 years of marriage and three years of courtship, and a shared love for the kitchen.

The duo’s chemistry is instantly palpable. Having known each other inside out over decades, they fondly admit that food has always been at the centre of their relationship. Clearly moved by their connection, Chef Kunal Kapur remarked, “In a house, the most important place is the kitchen. You have taken care of the kitchen, and you have taken care of your family. We can see how happy you both are with each other, even after 33 years.”

The moment soon turned lighter, with Chef Kunal teasing his fellow judges. Turning to Chef Ranveer Brar, he asked how long he had been married. Ranveer candidly replied, “Twelve years,” before humorously adding, “Useless, dysfunctional—I don’t think there is a more useless husband than me in this world. I’m blessed that my wife tolerates me all day.” Kunal quipped back instantly, “I can see that, I know that.”
Not stopping there, he turned to Chef Vikas Khanna with a grin and asked, “Vikas, the nation wants to know—when will you make a pair?” To this, Vikas responded with warmth and admiration, “Where will you find such love? This is rare.”
Through laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt admiration, the show reminds viewers that the kitchen is often where love is nurtured, tested, and celebrated.
