The duo, who never failed to impress the audience with their fun personalities and unique cooking skills, lifted the trophy and won the reality show. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi has now taken to his Instagram handle to express gratitude for his journey and congratulate Elvish and Karan. Harpal shared moments from the grand finale and gave fans a glimpse into it. He even penned a long note expressing his gratitude for the show. He then congratulated the winners Karan Kundrra and Elvish Yadav. The caption of the post read, 'Here's the magical dish #croissantfruitfountain that the boys created to lift the trophy of #laughterchefs @kkundrra @elvish_yadav. The duo were a perfect team — one who understood cooking and one who was the perfect support system. It is a perfect management principle of partners filling up gaps wherever required, and Elvish did that all the time.' He further wrote, 'Here's to the entire team of #laughterchefs who created history in the world, brought people back to watching TV non-stop for hours, thereby lifting the spirits of cable distribution/set-top boxes, thereby bringing cheers to what we would always hear #tvaabmargaya… no mean task this one.' Karan Kundrra expressed his excitement on winning the show and said, 'Coming back for Season 2 turned out to be one of the most special experiences I've had in a long time. There was a kind of ease on this set that's hard to describe — no pressure, no overthinking, just people genuinely enjoying themselves. I felt like I was returning to a family that missed me. I joined mid-season, had zero prep, and suddenly I was in this high-pressure kitchen with Elvish, who operates on pure instinct and jugaad, and somehow, it just clicked. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What's precious to me is that this journey, with all its fun, flaws, and flavour, sends a simple but powerful message: that everyone can cook, and everyone should. Because food isn't about perfection, it's about connection.' Elvish Yadav, on wrapping up the season and winning the show, said, 'When I entered Laughter Chefs, I thought it would be a fun break — a few laughs, some kitchen disasters, and then back to regular life. But this show had other plans. From the very first week, it pulled me into its vibe. And when Karan and I teamed up, it was an instant vibe match. We never overplanned, we just showed up, had fun, and stayed real. The kitchen was a new territory for me, but this journey taught me so much. I now have a very different appreciation and respect for those who cook regularly. What stands out for me is that my mom got to witness all of it: the mistakes, the growth, the final win.'
