“Aruna Jain, a MasterChef India contestant, refused to cook an egg-based dish and withdrew from the 25 Lakh Price race”
What FACTLY found
This incident happened in Season 7, Episode 24 of MasterChef India. Contestants were asked to cook an Egg-based dish. Aruna Vijay, who belongs to the Jain community, refused to cook an Egg-based dish owing to her faith-based principles and gave away her Immunity pin, which saves a contestant from elimination. Giving up an immunity pin does not mean a contestant has withdrawn from the competition
