(Photo: Instagram/@justinnarayan) We finally have a winner for MasterChef Australia Season 13. The trophy has found its way to Indian-origin contestant Justin Narayan’s kitchen, as he beat three other contestants — one of them with a Bangladesh connection — on the season’s grand finale.
Twenty-seven-year-old Narayan hails from Western Australia, and with this victory, he has become the second Indian-origin contestant on the show to take home the trophy. Before him, it was prison guard Sashi Cheliah, who had won the show in 2018.
Taking to Instagram post victory, Narayan, a pastor, wrote: “Find people that believe in you. Back yourself. Go hard and hopefully you’ll surprise yourself! Whoever’s reading this I love you. (sic)”
