Sony TV is bringing back India's most popular cooking reality show MasterChef India Season 7 (2023) with incredible contestants.

Assam's Nazia Sultana, Nayanjyoti Saikia, and Santa Sarmah have advanced to the show's television round.

In the promo, chef Vikas Khanna travels thousands of kilometres to find an Assamese home cook and brings him on the show as a participant.

According to the promo, Khanna found him through his Instagram page. The Michelin star paid him a visit at home and sampled the youngster's culinary creation.
