Vikas Khanna accused of favoritism 

Posting an Instagram story starring contestant Asim Riaz, the chef claimed to be 'quite thankful & humbled', after the contestant fed him the first bite of cake. This led to fans pinpointing and accusing the star chef of favoritism. Some also questioned him on why the moment was so important that it deserved special social media mention. 

Minutes after the post went viral, social media was flooded with criticisms against Khanna. And, now in what seems to be a misunderstanding, Vikas informed that he was moved by Riaz's gesture because he was the only one who fed him the cake, unlike the other housemates who had already started gorging on the confectionery.
