Nikki Tamboli ’s Strong Response to the Accusations
Addressing the backlash, Nikki took to Twitter (X) and defended her decision. She questioned the definition of betrayal and stated that MasterChef is not just about having the best ingredients but about creating the best dish with what’s available.
"Can someone explain to me the exact meaning of betrayal? #MasterChef is not about who makes the best food with the best ingredients, it’s about who makes the best when you have the least. Shifting from dessert to savory takes guts, and I proved that to myself. Nobody hands me a trophy if I don’t earn it. Isn’t that betrayal too?" she wrote.

Calls Out Trolls and Hypocrisy
Nikki didn’t hold back while addressing online trolls. She criticized those who spend their time attacking others on social media instead of focusing on their own growth.
"It’s better to get a life, earn, and make yourself proud rather than waste time on social media without even revealing your true face. Dogs bark from behind, but it takes courage to stand tall like a lioness in the jungle. Just in case you’ve ever been on a safari!" she added.
