Laughter Chefs 3 Leaderboard Rankings: Elvish Yadav, Tejasswi Prakash, Karan- Who Is At No.1? Can You GUESS?

Laughter Chefs 3 leaderboard rankings: Episode 52 of Laughter Chefs Season 3, aired on 17 May 2026, packed in drama and competition. The episode showed a mock wedding reception for Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash, two intense cooking battles, and fresh leaderboard shifts. A brief teaser also revealed a new pairing for Episode 53.

The fake reception for Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash set the mood early. Co-contestants pulled Tejasswi’s leg with boisterous Punjabi wedding Boliyan such as "Baari Barsi". The male participants then joked with Karan Kundrra about marriage troubles ahead and offered comic, mock-serious tips to manage life with Tejasswi Prakash.

Laughter Chefs 3 wedding special cooking challenges

The second cooking face-off of Laughter Chefs Season 3 Episode 52 focused on Gobi 65, a wedding-style starter. Chef Harpal told the teams to plate a crisp dish with a distinct special 65 masala flavour. The cauliflower had to appear bright red and arrive with one papad swirl katori.

Selected contestants for the Gobi 65 market run were Jannat Zubair, Abhishek Kumar, Kashmera Shah, Nia Sharma, Vicky Jain, Tejasswi Prakash and Elvish Yadav. After cooking, Chef Harpal named two winning pairs. Vicky Jain and Ankita Lokhande shared honours with Krushna Abhishek and Kashmera Shah for this spicy starter challenge.

Laughter Chefs 3 Leaderboard rankings, scores and challenges

Earlier in Episode 52, Chef Harpal opened the evening with a Challa challenge, matching the ring theme. Contestants had to create a ring-shaped item with a perfect circular form. The Challa needed a minimum diameter of five inches, at least 32 clean cuts and a caramelised onion mushroom filling.

The Challa also had to be presented as one complete unit, not broken portions. Despite the clear rules, no pair met every parameter. Chef Harpal therefore withheld the Challa title and did not announce any winners, leaving that round without golden star gains for any team.

Across Laughter Chefs Season 3 Episode 52, scores were crucial, and the golden star leaderboard shifted again. After all judging, the standings at the end of the episode were confirmed as follows.

Pair	Golden Stars
Aly Goni and Jannat Zubair	23
Elvish Yadav and Karan Kundrra	20
Arjun Bijlani and Tejasswi Prakash	18
Sudesh Lehri and Nia Sharma	11
Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel	10
Vicky Jain and Ankita Lokhande	11
Krushna Abhishek and Kashmera Shah	10

Aly Goni and Jannat Zubair led with 23 golden stars, followed by Elvish Yadav and Karan Kundrra on 20. Arjun Bijlani and Tejasswi Prakash stood at 18. Sudesh Lehri with Nia Sharma and Vicky Jain with Ankita Lokhande both held 11 each, while Abhishek Kumar with Samarth Jurel and Krushna Abhishek with Kashmera Shah had 10.

Alongside the scores, Episode 52 highlighted off-kitchen fun. Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra also played the ring-finding ritual, linked to the Challa theme. Karan Kundrra located the ring in the bowl two out of three attempts, and the male contestants cheered this win. A teaser announced that Amaal Mallik would join Nia Sharma as a new partner in Episode 53, hinting at fresh dynamics within Laughter Chefs Season 3.
