Laughter Chefs 2: Nia Sharma Returns Replacing Mannara Chopra?

Following the season's extension, Bigg Boss 17 contestant Mannara Chopra left the cooking-based reality show Laughter Chefs Season 2 because of "prior commitments." Nia Sharma, who participated in Laughter Chefs Season 1, will now take Mannara's position and reunite with her first-season companion, Sudesh Lehri.

Celebrities in the second season include Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Rahul Vaidya, Sudesh Lehri, Rubina Dilaik, Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel, Mannara Chopra, Abdu Rozik, Kashmera Shah, and Krushna Abhishek. Abdu Rozik left the show a few days ago, and season one cast member Karan Kundra has returned. 

Abdu Rozik, who had to take a break because of Ramadan, was replaced a few days ago by Karan Kundrra, who previously appeared in Laughter Chefs Season 1. Karan stated that he is back for good and that this is not only a cameo, despite the earlier reports that he would only make a brief appearance.

Sudesh was hurt when Nia unintentionally shoved him during the first season of Laughter Chefs. Lehri discussed the incident and disclosed that the actress frequently apologized to him. He also revealed that Nia came to his residence to apologize in the middle of the night.

Speaking on the podcast of Bharti Singh, Sudesh stated, "She pushed me a little during the shoot. Who does that intentionally? She did it for the shoot. So when I was hurt, I tried not to let her know. I didn't tell her anything, but when she came to know that I was hurt, I didn't cry, but she cried a lot."

Mannara had earlier verified her departure and stated, "Moving on is never easy, especially when it feels like you’re leaving behind a family. But with prior commitments demanding my attention, it’s time to say goodbye to my Laughter Chef family that I have made."
