Chefs Vikas Khanna and Ranveer Brar have finally confirmed that the third and final judge joining them this season is none other than Chef Kunal Kapur. He’s the OG MasterChef India mentor who has been a huge part of the show’s journey. The chef and restaurateur judged the show’s first-ever season in 2010.

Finally, they added, “Welcome home, Kunal. Let’s cook up another season of memories, madness, and magic — together.”
