Celebrity MasterChef will get its first season winner tonight and fans are quite excited for the same. Before the grand finale; a look at Tejasswi Prakash's journey into showbiz and how she has been getting restaurant collaborations after Celebrity MasterChef.
Tejasswi Prakash is a well-known star in the television industry and is turning heads with her cooking skills. She needs no introduction and has been part of several hit shows.
In a recent chat with Humans Of Bombay, the actress got candid about her academic years, her journey into showbiz and more. Tejasswi bagged Swaragini in the first year of Engineering.
She said, We Engineering students go through so much pain while studying. So much embarrassment already. Our results are given out in front of everybody in the canteen. So how can you embarrass us anymore? I used to get a lot of KTs and I remember once I dropped a year, and luckily, that year was when I got Swaragini. That was the most popular and successful show. That year went by happily.
Tejasswi also spoke about facing raging in college and she said, When you are in an Engineering college, it is really tough. Not just the study part. I remember I had gone for my viva wearing a kurti. It was sleeveless and I was told that 'this isn't a fashion parade, its a viva.' We had a college fest, which was only for the first-year kids, and the games were so random. We had to stand on the stage, and the seniors would throw soap water at you, and you have to save yourself. Indirectly, it was raging.
She also spoke about being bullied in college and said that it she was in a cultural fest team and she started cleaning the room. She added saying, Someone took a picture of me and put it on Facebook with the caption, 'Tejasswi is doing what she is best at.' And I didn't react to that as well, I would sit and cry over the fact. Then, I reached the point where I realised that not everyone would like me. Now, I have reached the stage where you can't dare talk to me like that.
Tejasswi managed to win millions of hearts with her perfect cooking skills after she participated in Celebrity MasterChef. Within no time, Tejasswi's dish was represented in Chef Vikas's restaurant in New York and her fans beamed with joy. Tejasswi once revealed her desire to open a restaurant. She said, I feel I am very confident as a cook or the chef in me. I am thinking of different ventures to get into, and this could be one of them. I do have people reaching out to me to collaborate with renowned restaurants to have my personal men and share the revenue or profit.
In the last night's episode also Tejasswi told Chef Sanjeev Kapoor that she is a beginner in this business and will be looking to begin with a partnership and then move further to have her own restaurant. Chef Sanjeev gave her his visiting card and told her to connect if she got stuck somewhere. Karan Kundrra came to cheer for his ladylove.
