In the latest episode of Celebrity Masterchef, social media personality Faisal Shaikh, known as Faisu, demonstrated that culinary artistry can indeed be inherited.

To the utter surprise and delight of the judges, he also revealed how exactly he got his excellent plating skills.

The judging panel, comprising Farah Khan, Ranveer Brar and guest chef Kunal Kapur, was particularly captivated by Faisu’s presentation. Chef Kunal Kapur inquired whether Faisu had formal training in food presentation.
To this, he responded with a touching tribute to his father’s craftsmanship. “I haven’t done any course,” Faisu explained. “My father was an artisan who designed and stitched nighties. He could produce 450 garments in a single day and was sought after for his skilled craftsmanship. I believe I inherited those design sensibilities from him.”
Chef Kapur acknowledged the rarity of such natural talent, sharing his own struggles with mastering presentation techniques. “If you’ve acquired this naturally, you’re fortunate. Many people, myself included, have had to work hard to develop these skills,” he remarked.

Faisu’s efforts culminated in him being awarded ‘Best Dish of the Day’, securing his position in the competition and protecting him from elimination. Chef Ranveer Brar confessed his initial scepticism about Faisu’s commitment to the competition.
“I expected more from you because you didn’t have the disadvantages others faced,” Chef Brar admitted. “Initially, I thought you might view this as just another reality show opportunity alongside your dancing and social media work. However, your integrity and dedication have proven me wrong. You’ve mastered this challenge completely.”
This achievement marked a significant milestone in Faisu’s Celebrity Masterchef journey, demonstrating that his creative abilities extend beyond digital entertainment into culinary excellence. His success story underscores how artistic sensibilities can transcend disciplines, connecting his father’s craftsmanship with his own culinary creativity.
