Samarth Jurel , who is currently seen in Laughter Chefs: Unlimited Entertainment alongside Abhishek Kumar , addressed the mixed reactions the show has been receiving from fans. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, Samarth acknowledged that while some viewers miss the previous cast, the makers had always intended to bring in new celebrities each season as part of the show's concept.

Reacting to the show getting mixed reactions, Samarth said, "Laughter Chefs started as an underdog but became hugely popular. In fact, it even became the number one non-fiction show! Now, the audience wants to see the same cast because they’ve become fans of them and some viewers are finding it hard to accept the changes in the lineup. Fans are watching the episodes, but they miss Karan Kundrra, Arjun Bijlani , and Aly Goni . They keep asking, ‘Kahan hain ye log?’ But the makers always planned to bring new celebrities each season. They have their fixed show runners like Krushna bhai and Sudesh ji, while the rest of the celebrities come in, cook, and have fun. That’s the concept—they wanted to switch things up. And honestly, isn’t it great? If this change hadn’t happened, how would I have joined the show?"

Samarth further shared that he is delighted to receive positive feedback from fans and is glad they are enjoying his pairing with Abhishek Kumar on the show. "Yes, I’ve also read about the show receiving mixed reactions from fans , but personally, I’ve been getting great feedback so far. In fact, the channel and production house have been praising me and saying I’m doing well on the show. I feel really fortunate to be working alongside such big celebrities like Krushna bhai and Sudesh ji. It’s an incredible experience," he said.
