Among the contestants, Nikki Tamboli stood out despite having the least cooking time—only 55 minutes.
When Chunky approached her station, he joked, "Nikki Tamboli, tu mere se kitna kam boli." To which Nikki, focused on her dish, quipped, "Aapke chakkar me mera chawal na jal jaaye." Chunky responded with his trademark humor, "Jale tumhare dushman."

A heartfelt moment followed when judge Farah Khan spotted a personalized coffee mug on Nikki's counter featuring photos of her and her boyfriend Arbaz Patel. Nikki explained, "For the past two days, my dishes weren't great. So he sent this mug as a good luck charm. He couldn't be here, but he sent this." Chunky added with a grin, "If you don't win it, steal it!"
Despite the time crunch, Nikki wowed the judges with a beautifully layered prawn dish. Chef Vikas Khanna remarked, "It's like eating at a top Michelin-starred restaurant." Ranveer Brar echoed the praise, saying, "Nikki is back," and awarded her the signature spoon tap.
When results were revealed, Nikki and Chef Gaurav were tied for the top dish. According to the format, a visiting chef's win would result in a finalist's elimination. However, Chef Gaurav made a gracious decision: "This is our profession, but it's your dream. Your dish was inspiring, and I'd like to give my win to you."
