Laughter Chefs 18th January 2026 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins on a glamorous and energetic note with the grand entry of Sunny Leone and Niya Khan, who arrive riding in on Karan’s bike. Their stylish entrance instantly sets the mood, and the entire set erupts with cheers and excitement as everyone warmly welcomes Sunny with immense happiness and enthusiasm. Karan then takes the opportunity to talk about the upcoming season of MTV Splitsvilla 16, sparking an engaging conversation among himself, Sunny, and Niya. Sunny playfully introduces Niya as the ultimate mischief-maker of the show, joking that she has the power to make people laugh one moment and cry the next.
Krishna adds to the fun by showing an old clip from a previous show in which Niya is seen behaving in an extremely dramatic manner. Watching herself on screen, Niya turns visibly embarrassed and immediately denies it, laughing and claiming that it isn’t her at all. Krishna teases her further, saying how much everyone had missed her, and asks how she feels being back on the set. Niya responds emotionally, sharing that she misses this place deeply and that it always feels like home whenever she returns.
The mood lightens even more when Elvish cheekily asks Sunny Leone out on a date, and to everyone’s surprise, she agrees. Sunny laughs and says that Elvish looks extremely cute whenever he blushes. She then jokingly challenges him, saying that in Splitsvilla, contestants are expected to impress others, and asks how he would impress her. Elvish immediately drops down on one knee and says he would remove his glasses for her. Sunny playfully pushes it further, asking him to open his jacket as well. Elvish continues showering her with compliments, blushing uncontrollably as the entire set bursts into laughter.
Sunny then reveals that she has a special surprise for everyone. She brings out marshmallows served with hot chocolate, delighting all the contestants. Harpaalji announces that today’s first challenge will be to recreate the very dish they have just enjoyed. Krishna jokingly drags Karan aside, teasing him that he must now return to his role as a halwai. Harpaalji carefully explains the criteria, and soon the ingredients are placed at each station. The contestants look completely puzzled, unsure of how to proceed, as most of them have no idea how the dish is actually made.
Karan nervously asks Karishma about the process and remarks that they are all going to embarrass themselves in front of Sunny Leone. Meanwhile, Abhisek and Samarth start flirting with Niya, prompting her to teasingly question whether they flirt with everyone they see. Harpaalji then announces that Niya will be supporting Team Kaata, while Sunny will assist the opposing team. Elsewhere, Isha Singh calls Vivian, drawing Harpaalji’s attention. He walks up to her inquisitively, asking what she is doing and whether she truly knows how to prepare the dish. Krishna pleads with Harpaalji to give the contestants at least one hint.
Taking pity on them, Harpaalji shows a short video and explains the process briefly. The contestants begin experimenting in their own ways, but Harpaalji soon intervenes again, stressing that the batter needs to be whisked properly to make it light and fluffy. Adding to the excitement, Sunny announces a fun mini-challenge for the boys, declaring that the winner will receive a hug from her. Amid loud cheers from the audience, Sunny also dances briefly with the contestants, turning the set into a mini celebration.
During tasting, Harpaalji spits out Debina Guru’s marshmallow but praises her hot chocolate. Karishma’s marshmallow, however, turns out just right, impressing Harpaalji so much that he clicks a photo with his new Realme 16. After tasting her hot chocolate, he joyfully does “balle balle” in appreciation. Ali and Jannat also perform well, and as a result, Team Kaata earns two stars for this round.
The second round brings a more complex challenge. Harpaalji announces that the teams must prepare spinach butter ricotta in lemon butter sauce, making three raviolis using pasta. He sends the pantry runners—including Sunny and Niya—to collect ingredients. Both Sunny and Niya look confused as they try to figure out what to pick up. Niya accidentally forgets to bring anything for Ali’s counter, leaving him visibly frustrated. On the other hand, Sunny helps Karan and Teja by explaining the basic process of the dish. Chaos ensues when Elvish sneaks spinach from Debina’s counter, and Harpaalji’s instructions only add to the confusion. Despite the challenges, the teams somehow manage to plate their dishes.
After judging, Harpaalji announces that Ali–Jannat, Vivian–Isha, and Elvish–Isha emerge as the winners of the second round. Finally, Harpaalji declares that the next episode will feature a grand finale showdown between the top two teams, ending the episode on a high note and building excitement for what’s to come. Episode ends.
Our take :
The episode opens with a glamorous entry by Sunny Leone and Niya Khan on Karan’s bike, filling the set with excitement and nostalgia as they discuss MTV Splitsvilla 16 and share lighthearted moments, including playful teasing, old clips of Niya, and Elvish’s blushing attempt to impress Sunny. Sunny surprises everyone with marshmallows and hot chocolate, which becomes the first cooking challenge, leaving contestants confused until Harpaalji provides guidance. With fun tasks, dancing, and plenty of chaos, Team Kaata wins the round and earns two stars. The second challenge involves making spinach butter ricotta ravioli in lemon butter sauce, leading to pantry confusion, stolen ingredients, and teamwork struggles, but Ali–Jannat, Vivian–Isha, and Elvish–Isha emerge victorious. The episode ends with Harpaalji announcing a finale between the top two teams in the next episode.
