Dipika Kakar, known for her love of cooking, recently shocked fans by quitting the reality show Celebrity Masterchef due to a shoulder injury. For weeks, she had been struggling with the pain, even skipping one of the challenges when she was rushed to the hospital. As a result, she directly faced the elimination round after missing a crucial task.

In her vlog, Dipika shared the details behind her decision to quit the show. She revealed, “I had to rush to the hospital at night for an MRI, where the doctor confirmed an injury. Unfortunately, there is no immediate treatment or course of action. It’s a slow recovery process, and I have to immobilize that part of my body. I need to consciously avoid rigorous movements. I was in a dilemma about whether to continue, but even after resting for a few days, I struggled to compete. Since Celebrity Masterchef requires full physical effort, I knew I couldn’t push myself any further. My journey ended with the wedding special episode.”

However, just days after this revelation, Dipika surprised netizens by sharing travel vlogs where she was seen carrying her baby, Ruhaan, in her arms. To add to the confusion, she also posted multiple cooking videos in honor of Ramadan, preparing dishes like Chicken Pav, Pizza Hearts, and several other elaborate meals.

This sudden return to cooking and travel has left many questioning the authenticity of her injury. Social media is now flooded with comments doubting whether her exit from Celebrity Masterchef was truly due to health reasons.

One user wrote, “You don’t look in pain… hand pain was just an excuse to quit Masterchef.” Another commented, “It seems like you’re perfectly fine now—no pain, no restrictions. Maybe you just wanted an easy way out of the competition.”

Another skeptical viewer added, “It looks like you realized you couldn’t match the show’s standards, so you backed out. YouTube seems to be more your comfort zone.”

Fans who once supported Dipika are now questioning her decision, with comments like, “If your shoulder pain was so serious, how are you cooking and carrying Ruhaan so effortlessly?” and “Masterchef required real competition, and maybe you weren’t ready for it. It’s better to lose gracefully than to find excuses.”

While Dipika has not responded to these allegations, her social media activity continues to fuel speculation. What do you think of her decision?
