The popular reality show Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment returned with a band earlier this year serving up the ideal blend of culinary challenges and comedy. Due to high demand, the show has been extended beyond April 1, much to the delight of fans. But Mannara Chopra, who joined the show this season, is leaving following its extension. Reportedly, makers are planning to bring back season 1 participant Nia Sharma in her place.
According to a report by India Forums, Nia Sharma is scheduled to return to the show and replace Mannara Chopra. Nia Sharma, who appeared in the first season was paired with Sudesh Lehri and the duo shared a hilarious relationship. Their lively banter and humourous camaraderie were key highlights for fans. Her reunion with Sudesh is expected to bring back the season 1s charm and liven up the kitchen once more.
Mannara Chopra had to leave the show post the extension since she has other commitments. Speaking about the same, Mannara mentioned, “Moving on is never easy, especially when it feels like you’re leaving behind a family. But with prior commitments demanding my attention, it’s time to say goodbye to my Laughter Chef family that I have made. Whipping up the quirkiest dishes and sharing laughter, this show never felt like work- it felt like home. I’ll forever treasure the friends, the laughter, and the memories we’ve created together, especially sharing the stage with Sudesh Lehri ji, who is a comedy legend in his own right.”
This is not the first time a celebrity from the previous season re-joined the show. Earlier, Abdu Rozik withdrew from the show owing to family commitments in Dubai. Karan Kundrra had taken over the show and was paired with Elvish Yadav. The current lineup of celebrities includes Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel, Rubina Dilaik, Rahul Vaidya, Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Kashmera Shah, Krushna Abhishek, Elvish Yadav.
