Laughter Chefs Season 3 premieres Nov 22 with pregnant host Bharti Singh and returning champs Karan Kundrra, Elvish Yadav
On Saturday, November 22, 2025, Laughter Chefs Season 3 crashed into Indian living rooms with the same chaotic charm that made its predecessors a weekend staple — this time, hosted by Bharti Singh while she’s visibly pregnant with her second child. The show, which airs every Saturday and Sunday at 20:00 IST on Colors TV, doesn’t just lean into the comedy — it thrives on it. And somehow, the fact that Singh is hosting through pregnancy only adds to the magic.
When Laughter Takes Over the Kitchen
Forget Michelin stars. Laughter Chefs Season 3 isn’t about flawless searing or perfect plating. It’s about a celebrity pair accidentally setting off a smoke alarm while trying to flip a dosa, or Karan Kundrra serenading a pot of curry with a Bollywood hit while stirring. The format, unchanged since Season 1, pits teams of stars against each other under the watchful, often amused, eyes of head judge Celebrity Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi and co-host Singh. Each challenge has a twist — maybe it’s cooking blindfolded, or using only one hand, or making a dessert with ingredients chosen by the audience via live poll. The goal? Laughter, not perfection.
According to Times of India, the show’s appeal lies in its “near-misses and glorious failures.” And this season? It’s doubling down. Producers at Optimystix Entertainment — the Mumbai-based powerhouse behind all three seasons — promised “triple the fun.” So far, they’re delivering. In the premiere episode, Vivian Dsena and Eisha Singh (both former Bigg Boss housemates) tried to recreate a Punjabi dal using a pressure cooker they’d never used before. The result? A cloud of steam, a very confused Sokhi, and Singh laughing so hard she had to sit down.
The Return of the Champions
Here’s the twist: Season 2 winners Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav didn’t just show up as guests. They’re back in the kitchen — competing. That’s unprecedented. In previous seasons, winners retired to the sidelines. This time, they’re targets. Fans are already calling them “the reigning kings of chaos,” and their return has sparked new rivalries. Gurmeet Choudhary, fresh off his reality TV dominance, is reportedly determined to dethrone them. Meanwhile, Debina Bonnerjee, who’s been paired with Choudhary, has admitted in interviews she’s “terrified of cooking in front of Elvish — he once made a cake out of instant noodles and called it ‘art.’”
The cast is a who’s who of Indian TV: returning faces like Aly Goni, Jannat Zubair Rahmani, and Krushna Abhishek are joined by newcomers like Vivian Dsena, Eisha Singh, and Isha Malviya. The chemistry? Electric. The kitchen? A war zone of spilled flour, improvised dance moves, and Sokhi’s deadpan critiques.
Bharti Singh: Hosting Through Pregnancy
Here’s the real story behind the scenes: Bharti Singh announced her pregnancy on October 6, 2025. By November, she was filming — no breaks, no delays. She’s not hiding it. In fact, she leans into it. During one challenge, she wore a custom apron that read “Mom in Training” and joked, “If I burn the rice, it’s because the baby’s kicking.”
Her energy hasn’t dimmed. If anything, it’s amplified. “She’s got this infectious, fearless joy,” says a producer on set. “You can see the crew smiling just watching her walk into the studio. She’s not just hosting — she’s holding the whole thing together.”
Her husband, comedian Haarsh Limbachiya, is often spotted in the audience, filming clips for his social media. “He’s the one who reminds her to drink water,” says a source close to the production. “But honestly? He’s more nervous than she is.”
Why This Season Feels Different
Season 1, which premiered June 1, 2024, was a surprise hit. Season 2, running from January 25 to July 27, 2025, became a ratings juggernaut. But Season 3? It’s not just a continuation — it’s a celebration. Bringing back winners isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a statement. It says: this show matters. It’s not just filler content. It’s part of the cultural fabric.
And the timing? Perfect. With families looking for weekend entertainment that doesn’t require screens, Laughter Chefs Season 3 offers something rare: real people, real messes, real joy. No filters. No green screens. Just a kitchen, a few celebrities, and a whole lot of laughter.
What’s Next?
With episodes airing weekly on Colors TV and streaming instantly on JioHotstar, the show is already trending across social platforms. Fan theories are flying: Will Karan and Elvish team up again? Will Bharti’s pregnancy become part of a challenge? (Spoiler: sources say yes — a “baby bump challenge” is rumored for Episode 5.)
Meanwhile, Optimystix Entertainment has confirmed filming continues in Mumbai, with no plans to slow down. And Bharti? She’s still there — every Saturday and Sunday — laughing, cooking, and reminding everyone that sometimes, the best meals come from the messiest kitchens.
