Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav: Crowd Favorites Finish Second

The fiery pairing of Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav—two of the most talked-about personalities in Indian reality television—took home the first runners-up title. Their journey was marked by laughter, heated moments in the kitchen, and full-blown entertainment.
