A grand finale packed with culinary twists, kitchen chaos, entertainment and nail-biting competition sees the duo emerge victorious, with Kanchan Mullick and Sreemoyee finishing with a tantalising half-mark behind!
Staff Reporter : Kolkata, November 13, 2026: Kolkata knows its food, celebrates its flavours and takes its culinary traditions very seriously. And when it comes to serving up a delicious dose of culinary competition, Sony AATH’s Raandhuni Na Kaanduni has certainly raised the temperature in the kitchen! The grand finale witnessed an exciting face-off between four competing jodis – Sayan and Shyamoupti, Sourav and Prerana, Iman and Rupanjana, and Kanchan and Sreemoyee – as they battled it out through a series of challenging culinary tasks for the coveted winner’s trophy. Bringing its exciting journey to a thrilling close, Prerana Das and Sourav Das have emerged as the champions after a finale brimming with unexpected challenges, laughter, drama and some serious culinary action.
The grand finale was nothing short of a feast for the senses, as the contestants navigated a series of unconventional cooking challenges before facing off in a closely contested final cook-off. Giving the winners a run for their money, Kanchan Mullick and Sreemoyee put up a spirited fight, missing the top spot by a mere half-mark, making the final verdict all the more nail-biting.
The finale opened on a nostalgic note, with contestants reminiscing about their journey on the show and sharing their most cherished memories with host Ankush Hazra, the mentors and fellow participants. What followed was a delightful mix of emotions and humour. When Sayan confessed that he would miss Shyamoupti the most, Sourav was quick to jump in with a playful retort, bringing some much-needed laughter to an otherwise emotional moment.
But there was little time to get sentimental, as the competition soon turned up the heat! The contestants first took on a blindfolded Papdi Chaat challenge, testing their instincts and culinary familiarity, followed by an entertaining balloon-and-laddoo game. After tying with Sayan and Shyamoupti, Sourav and Prerana clinched the tiebreaker, securing a crucial advantage ahead of the ultimate showdown.
And what better way to put the finalists’ culinary prowess to the test than with Kolkata’s undisputed favourite – Mutton Biryani! However, this was no ordinary biryani challenge. The teams had to prepare the much-loved delicacy while simultaneously carrying a replica baby, with an additional twist that would test even the most seasoned food enthusiasts. They were strictly prohibited from tasting their own creations or anyone else’s! What ensued was a delightful recipe for kitchen chaos, with the contestants juggling their little companions and culinary responsibilities in equal measure.
As the final dishes made their way to the mentors for a blind tasting, the suspense in the kitchen was palpable. Even Ankush Hazra couldn’t resist the temptation of sneaking in for a taste, adding another playful moment to an already action-packed finale. With the final winner verdict still under wraps, the celebrations continued with energetic dance performances by Ankush and the contestants, alongside a special musical performance by celebrated singer Iman Chakraborty.
And then came the moment everyone had been waiting for! After a flavourful journey filled with fun, camaraderie and fierce competition, Prerana Das and Sourav Das were finally crowned the winners of Sony AATH’s Raandhuni Na Kaanduni, winning the coveted trophy and a well-deserved taste of victory.
Speaking about the win, Prerana Das said, “Winning Raandhuni Na Kaanduni is an absolutely incredible feeling, and honestly, it still feels a little surreal! When we first stepped into the kitchen, all we wanted was to enjoy the experience, embrace the challenges and have a whole lot of fun. Little did we imagine that this journey would turn into such an unforgettable experience, filled with laughter, unexpected twists, a few nail-biting moments and, most importantly, so many wonderful learnings. What made this journey even more special was having Sourav by my side as a teammate through it all. To have navigated every challenge together and finally lift the winner’s trophy as a team makes this victory truly priceless. I’m immensely grateful to Ankush, our mentors, fellow contestants and the entire team at Sony AATH for making this such a memorable experience. A big thank you to everyone who believed in us, supported us and cheered us on throughout the journey. This win is incredibly special, and I know we will cherish these memories for a lifetime!”
