In the grand finale episode of MasterChef India 8, the judges asked the final four contestants to make their signature dish. They were allotted 90 minutes to prepare the food item and given an open pantry. Mohammed Aashiq sprinkled magic with his crab dish — a seafood item leaving Ranveer Brar awestruck with the preparation. Praising the young Mangaluruan boy, Ranveer said, “Aapke haathon mein khuda ki naimat hai bacche. People call me a machine of picking mistakes but in this dish, I cannot point out any mistake, this was all yours, completely your creation.”
In a statement, Mohammed Aashiq, who also participated in MasterChef Season 7 reflected on his journey in the 8th season. Calling it a “profound lesson” he admitted that the experience he gathered on the show “reshaped his life”. “This victory isn’t just mine; it’s for every dreamer who defies the odds to chase their aspirations,” said Mohammed Aashiq. Before participating in MasterChef India 8, he ran a juice shop in Mangaluru.
