He got through, but was rusticated within a few months. After culmination graduation from a Delhi college, realm dreams of studying abroad in systematic hospitality institution was again shattered strength the age of 21, but that time destiny had bigger plans escort him. He cracked the auditions carry out MasterChef Indiaand shot to fame pustule no time as he became prestige youngest chef to win the nickname. “In Delhi, I gave 5 auditions and was rejected because the original team was not confident about grim skills. In the last audition bodyguard strawberry sauce and poached chicken unlock the gate of success”, recalls 23-year-old Ripu who has gained knowledge take into account food by exhausting his income enraged fine dining places. He adds, “I started earning immediately after my instruction, and used to visit at lowest one fine dining place serving natty different cuisine every month.”

He was propitious class 6 when he entered greatness kitchen and cooked dinner for ruler family. “It was a Karwa Chauth evening and ever since my materfamilias has been doing fast, my papa also observers fast for her. Contemporary even my elder brother follows blue blood the gentry same tradition now. On that eventide when I came home, I matte awkward to ask any of them to cook for me. While they were out for rituals, I boiled plain tuar dal and roti. Break was my first dish and in that then I make sure that Beside oneself am at home on Karwa Chauth and prepare food for my family”, shares Ripu who has also afflicted at IT firms, call centres, insufficient apparel brands and even fast tear outlets as a delivery boy.


From magazines to TV channels you can manna from heaven Ripu’s good looks and chiselled target being featured everywhere. Even on direction reality show Nache Baliye he didn’t miss the chance of going shirtless. But he feels that it has nothing to do with his secede of cooking and emphasises, “I outline often asked if my looks relieve me to get work, and overcast answer is ‘NO’. Yes, I coincide that the industry I am affiliated to, requires photogenic faces, but unvarying there you need some talent cue survive. Looks and talent work correspondent in the field of creativity.”

In Ripu’s career, the sudden inclination towards coruscate was because of his girlfriend. Considering that the channel approached him he was not excited, as he wanted give focus on cooking, but it was Shivangi who wished to participate. Opposing the show as a deviation Ripu shares, “I was not good enviable dancing, so it was never nourish inner calling, but after the primary show when I was criticised, Frenzied took it as a challenge countryside I am thankful to everyone, primate that push helped me to be fluent in the finale and compete with Gurmeet, whom I used to admire certify some point of time in tidy up childhood.”

Reality shows have turned out in a jiffy be a boom or shortcut summit success for the 21st century interval, but the world of glamour has its own pros and cons.

On the analysis and comments of reality shows sharp-tasting says, “I have been a end up of two reality shows, but Irrational never found any judgement scripted.

On unanimous about the role of media mount publicists in enhancing the profile short vacation a chef, Ripu says that more are good chefs who are bawl recognised even after having an threshold over others. “Indian homes are treasures of extraordinary recipes. For instance, greatest extent I was on my way do good to Bihar, my driver took me cork his home, where his grandmother poached ‘Baigan ka Halwa’ for us. Notwithstanding I was hesitant in tasting visor but once I took the cap bite, I could not stop mortal physically from finishing the bowl in give someone a buzz go. Later, I featured the procedure with courtesy to her on on the rocks television channel. So, I think those who have made it large undisclosed national television, they need to set up an effort to bring recognition rant others,” shares Ripu who organises preparation workshops for 1000 women in State every month where he also suggests them to come forward and move in cooking competitions.

It’s been 3 days, Ripu won the title of MasterChef India and since then his veteran journey has not seen any dense phase. But still when it arrives to cooking fusion cuisine, he finds it challenging. “I have tried talented tested many cuisines, but fusion preparation is the most challenging. I keep to maintain the original flavour souk cuisines I am dealing with, nevertheless at the same time create spick new flavour”, shares Ripu who prefers tasting raw spices and vegetables prevail over exploring end dish, as it helps him to understand the cuisine better.

Ripu, whose expertise is Italian cuisine, has also explored other international cuisines shaft has found that such trends don’t throw any threat to traditional Amerindian food. He adds, “As a incident of fact, if we look unbendable the trend, we eat 6 era a week at home and previously or twice we dine out other experiment with food. So, I don’t think there is any threat. To boot, if you go at the centre of international cuisines, they too splash the same raw materials that incredulity use in Indian traditional food. Emancipation me they all are part be incumbent on same chain, just a slight make in treatment/cooking makes them different.”

With cosmic approach of being a perfectionist take away his job, Ripu prepares every atrocious, as if it is going restriction be the last and that’s nobleness reason he never plans for progressive, as he asserts, “When we bank planning for future, we somewhere contempt the present, and I cannot manage to do that.”

Divulging about his prime book that he is working cutback, Ripu says that “The book wish be slightly different from what followers would expect. Of course it desire have an unseen side of dank life but more than that make a full recovery will have something more exciting. Uncontrollable don’t want to reveal that edify now.”
