As Mannara Chopra quits the show midway, Nia Sharma to reunite with Sudesh Lehri on Laughter Chefs 2

The hit reality show Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment has officially been extended past its original April 1 schedule, much to the excitement of its loyal audience. This season’s mix of culinary challenges and comic chaos has struck the right chord with viewers. However, the extended run brings a notable change – actress Mannara Chopra, who was part of this season’s lineup, will be stepping away from the show due to other commitments.

As per a report from India Forums, the show’s creators are planning to bring back a familiar face to fill Mannara’s spot – Nia Sharma, a standout contestant from season one. Former partner Nia received recognition for her lively on-screen chemistry and amusing interactions with veteran comedian Sudesh Lehri. Their lively interactions had become a fan-favorite element of the previous season, and her return is expected to recapture that same spark and fun energy in the kitchen.

Mannara Chopra opened up about her departure, expressing how bittersweet it was to leave. “It’s never easy to move on, especially when it feels like leaving behind a family,” she shared. She reflected fondly on her time on the show, emphasizing that the experience never felt like work. “Cooking up quirky dishes and laughing together – it was more like being at home than being on a set. I’ll always hold dear the memories, the friendships, and the fun we created, especially sharing the stage with Sudesh Lehri ji, a true legend in comedy,” she added.

This isn’t the first time the show has welcomed back a former participant. In previous seasons, Abdu Rozik had to leave the show because of Dubai-based family responsibilities. Karan Kundrra stepped in as his replacement and was paired with Elvish Yadav. Currently, the show boasts a vibrant mix of celebrities including Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel, Rubina Dilaik, Rahul Vaidya, Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Kashmera Shah, Krushna Abhishek, and Elvish Yadav.
