Akshay Kumar's prank on MasterChef India left Kaif almost in tears

Katrina Kaif might be reigning the roost in Bollywood, but she had to face rejection at MasterChef India anchored by Akshay Kumar.

The judges spat the omelette that she had personally whipped up on the show after tasting it, leaving Kaif almost in tears.

Kaif appeared on the finale episode of the show tonight as part of the promotions of Tees Maar Khan. Kaif could not handle rejection easily.

Asked about her uncharacteristic display of emotions over just an omelette, Katrina doesn't do her usual I-am-too-prim-to-react act.

She says, "I agree I was very upset. But it was not 'just an omelette'. I made it on the show.

That is the only thing I can make in the kitchen. And I'm very confident about my omelettes. When everyone on MasterChef hated its taste, I was devastated. I felt humiliated."

Akki's prank

It took Katrina a while to figure out the reason why her preparation turned out so badly.

"Only later I got to know that after I had finished making my omelette, Akshay poured a whole cup of salt into it. That's why it became unpalatable, " she says.

Though Akshay cracked up in glee at his own prank, Katrina was not amused. "An omelette is the only proof of my cooking skills. I didn't feel good about it being messed up."
