Sashikumar Cheliah, the 2018 champion of Australian MasterChef, shares his Diwali tips and traditions with Dilpreet Taggar and Preeti Jabbal in this episode of 'My Diwali.' Sashi has a diverse background, having grown up in Singapore with roots in Tamil Nadu, India. In this discussion, we will explore his journey since his remarkable win, as well as his memories of celebrating Diwali with family and friends.


The world has become very busy. People have no time... I think Diwali brings everybody to a pause. People take time.. meet loved ones… it gives us a reason to stop and rethink what we have done in the last year, the good, the bad or the ugly.
