Rose to fame with MasterChef India, Kunal Kapur loves experimenting with flavours and re-inventing them. The celebrity chef and restaurateur gets candid in a tête-à-tête with Supriya Aggarwal.
How did it feel to be called ‘the next big guy in kebabs and curries in India’ by the maestro Jiggs Kalra himself?
It felt honoured; the title added a lot to my career. I always aimed at reviving the charm of age-old recipes and infusing them with latest ingredients and trends followed in international cuisine. I always love to play with Indian flavours and believe that simplicity is the formula behind a winning dish. I also feel that any fame is short-lived in the life of a chef. One has to appreciate all the praise and then immediately move on and focus on their work. That’s what I do.
MasterChef has been a turning point in your career. How has it changed you as a person?
For me, MasterChef was the start of my television career and hence it is very special to me. It’s a great honour to be part of a show of such magnitude and popularity. I am a very different person than how you see me on the television. I am quite an introvert. The show has given me confidence. I travelled my own country for food and returned with loads of knowledge.

Why Can't I Be a Happy Soul?
Sadness prevails within us at any and mostly at the time when we need to be calm. Our brain has the power to make us feel lonely, deserted, restless, angry and sometimes isolated.
