Playful Teasing and 'Bhabhi' Nickname
Bijlani revealed that he frequently engages in lighthearted banter with Tejasswi Prakash, often teasing her about her relationship with boyfriend Karan Kundrra.

Return of the Original Cast

Unexpected Partnership with Tejasswi
Bijlani admitted that he never anticipated Tejasswi Prakash becoming his partner on the show, but he's thoroughly enjoying the experience. "It's been a blast," he said, adding that their pairing is likely to become a trending topic, possibly inspiring a new hashtag similar to 'TejRan'. He believes viewers will notice and appreciate their dynamic once they watch the new season.
Unique Concept and Family Appeal
Reflecting on the show's success, Bijlani described Laughter Chefs as a complete family entertainer that resonates with audiences across age groups and geographies. "Not just in India, but even abroad, wherever I travel, people talk about the show," he noted. The unique blend of cooking and comedy, set in a cheerful, feel-good space, has helped it connect deeply with viewers.
Evolution from Kitchen Champion
The actor also drew comparisons to his previous hosting role on Kitchen Champion, highlighting how Laughter Chefs has evolved the concept. "It's a perfect mix—cooking is something that happens in every household, and we all end up making different dishes," he said. While acknowledging that the cast aren't expert cooks, he pointed out that the spontaneous fun and comedy that arise during cooking make the show particularly enjoyable.
Overall, Arjun Bijlani's enthusiasm for Laughter Chefs Season 3 is palpable, with his playful relationship with Tejasswi Prakash promising to deliver plenty of laughs and memorable moments for fans eagerly awaiting the new season.
