The winning duo edged past Kanchan Mullick and Sreemoyee, who finished just half a mark behind, making the final verdict a nail-biting affair.

The grand finale featured four competing pairs – Sayan and Shyamoupti, Sourav and Prerana, Iman and Rupanjana, and Kanchan and Sreemoyee.

Hosted by Ankush Hazra, the finale featured several unconventional challenges, including a blindfolded Papdi Chaat task, a balloon-and-laddoo game and a special Mutton Biryani challenge.

In the final cooking task, contestants had to prepare Kolkata’s favourite delicacy while carrying a replica baby. They were also prohibited from tasting their own dishes or those prepared by other teams.

The finale also featured dance performances by Ankush and the contestants, along with a special musical performance by singer Iman Chakraborty.

Speaking about the victory, Prerana Das described the experience as incredible and said competing alongside Sourav made the journey particularly special. She also thanked the host, mentors, fellow contestants and the Sony AATH team for their support.
