MasterChef India Season 9 Elimination Today
The latest MasterChef India Season 9 elimination today, 13 February 2026, saw sisters Deepali Bihani and Jamuna Somani leave the kitchen after a high-pressure black apron cook-off, finishing in 9th place.
The episode picked up right from the intense “Blind Wall” challenge set by chef Ranveer Brar, where pairs had to recreate his dish while separated by a wall and communicating only through voice, timing, and trust.
It was one of those tasks where even a small misunderstanding about texture or plating could flip the results, and that is more or less what happened here.
Their dish fell behind the other jodis in balance and refinement, and while the judges appreciated the effort and emotional connect, the final call went against them.
The mood in the kitchen was a mix of relief and sadness; other teams were clearly shaken, because everyone knows it could easily have been them on the chopping block next time.
What Happened in Today’s Elimination Episode?
Today’s elimination episode revolved around the continuation of the black apron phase, where the danger-zone pairs had to prove they deserved to stay in MasterChef India Season 9.
Chef Ranveer Brar’s “Blind Wall” task forced each team to split roles: one side watching the demo carefully, the other side doing most of the cooking, and both constantly checking in with each other through quick updates and small corrections.
A few pairs managed surprisingly smooth coordination – short, clear instructions, quick course-corrections, almost like they had rehearsed this style of communication before.
Deepali and Jamuna, however, seemed to lose a bit of clarity mid-way, especially on texture and finishing touches. The final tasting reflected that; their plate lacked the sharpness and finesse the judges were expecting at this stage.
Why Deepali And Jamuna Got Eliminated
Deepali and Jamuna were eliminated because their recreation of chef Ranveer’s dish did not match the standard set by the other pairs in terms of flavour, balance, and execution.
The judges pointed out that while the soul of the dish was there, certain elements were either underplayed or slightly off, and at top‑10 level, those gaps become decisive.
This result also came after a run where they had shown promise but sometimes struggled in very technical or format-heavy tasks. In contrast, other jodis used their momentum better, and one even smartly used an immunity pin to step out of danger before things escalated.
It was a tough call, but consistent performance across episodes now matters more than just a single “good story” in the kitchen.
MasterChef India Season 9 Elimination List So Far
So far, MasterChef India Season 9 has said goodbye to multiple jodis, and Deepali–Jamuna are the latest to join that list. The eliminations up to today are:
-
Raksha & Kanchana Devi – first duo eliminated, 23 January 2026 (12th place).
-
Vishnu & Harshini Purohit – out after a pressure test on 30 January 2026 (11th place).
-
Parvati & Himang Soni – eliminated on 6 February 2026 (10th place).
-
Deepali Bihani & Jamuna Somani – eliminated around 13 February 2026 after the Blind Wall black apron challenge (9th place).
Each exit has come after a focused, skills-heavy task – from replication challenges to organ-based mystery boxes – which supports the show’s image as a serious culinary competition rather than just a drama-heavy reality format.
Who Is Still Safe And What’s Next?
After today’s elimination, eight contestants (four jodis) remain in MasterChef India Season 9, still in the race for the trophy and the title.
Names like Mahfooz–Yasmin Ansari, Simran–Himanshi Vohra, Venu–Avani Sharma, and others continue their journey, and the recent episodes show that immunity pins, black aprons, and format twists will keep playing a crucial role.
The show is clearly tightening the competition with layered challenges like the Blind Wall, regional swap tasks, and organ health mystery boxes, making each week feel more intense and less predictable.
