The kitchen is prepped, the aprons are fastened, and the flavours are all set to sizzle as Chef Sashi Cheliah, winner of MasterChef Australia, joins Celebrity MasterChef Tamil as a Judge. Presented by Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV, the show sees Samantha Ruth Prabhu bring together popular celebrities for a high-energy culinary adventure that blends food, entertainment and drama.
Chef Sashi Cheliah’s journey to the MasterChef kitchen has been anything but conventional. Before making his mark in the culinary world, Sashi began his career with the Singapore Police Force. His eventual journey to the MasterChef Australia kitchen and winning the coveted trophy marked a remarkable turning point in his life.
Deeply influenced by the Indian and Southeast Asian flavours of his childhood, Chef Sashi has developed a distinctive culinary identity that reflects his roots and passion for food. His experience as a contestant now gives him a unique perspective as he steps into the role of a Judge on Celebrity MasterChef Tamil.
*Speaking about joining the show, Chef Sashi Cheliah said,* My journey to the MasterChef kitchen was anything but conventional. I began my career in the Singapore Police Force, so the thought of one day stepping into the MasterChef Australia kitchen and eventually winning the trophy was something I could never have imagined.
The Indian and Southeast Asian flavours that shaped my childhood and my culinary identity became an integral part of that journey and reminded me of the power of food to tell stories about who we are and where we come from.
Coming to Celebrity MasterChef Tamil as a Judge feels incredibly special because I know exactly what it is like to stand on the other side of the kitchen the nerves, the pressure, the uncertainty, but also the incredible excitement of creating something you are proud of. This time, I get to experience that magic from the other side.

I’m looking forward to meeting our celebrity contestants, pushing them beyond their comfort zones and discovering the stories and flavours they bring to the kitchen. With Samantha Ruth Prabhu at the helm and Chef Sashi Cheliah bringing his MasterChef experience to the judging panel, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil promises an exciting mix of celebrity personalities, culinary challenges, entertainment and drama.
