#SonyEntertainmentTelevision and #SonyLIV’s ‘#MasterChefIndia’ Judge #RanveerBrar is celebrating his 45th birthday today! #Celebritychef, #restauranteur, and #author – he’s a force to reckon with in the food industry and is hailed by the common man for his easy cooking recipes. Chef Ranveer, who started his culinary journey from the aromatic gullies of Lucknow, was motivated to pursue a career in the culinary arts by kebab vendors in his hometown.

Talking about her co-judge Chef Garima Arora shares, “I personally have just met Chef Ranveer and I am so glad that I did meet a person like him. And whatever birthdays I’ve missed before this, no problem, I am very sure after today I will not miss a single birthday of his. I wish him all the best, loads of fun, and a lot of cake and I think he deserves it all!” Chef Vikas Khanna shares about his best buddy on set, “Ranveer is one of my biggest incentives to keep coming back to India and keep shooting MasterChef.

My biggest achievement in that is that I get to spend time with him! I pray that he is always successful and happy. For me, Ranveer has become such an important part of Indian food history and how he will be perceived globally by people who respect and honour every dish. The direction he has taken is very important to our food and culture and I really wish him all the best! More power to him, may he keep succeeding in this. May he make more videos of new dishes and receive more love for the entire world.” Tune in to watch the judges in action on ‘MasterChef India’, every Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
