Gullu aka Kushal Tanwar wins Maa Hai Na Season 1 on Zee 5 Global

After weeks of heartwarming moments, exciting culinary challenges, and celebrating the irreplaceable bond between mothers and their children, Zee 5’s Maa Hai Na has crowned its first-ever winner. Gullu aka Kushal Tanwar emerged victorious in the grand finale, winning the coveted Maa Hai Na Season 1 trophy alongside a special mother-son trip to Cairo. In the grand finale, the finalists were challenged to prepare a complete three-course meal featuring Paneer Tikka, Paratha and Jalebi, putting both their culinary skills and teamwork to the ultimate test. As host Shilpa Shetty tasted Gullu’s dishes, she was all praise for his efforts, calling the meal “mind-blowing” and remarking, “Looks good, tastes good and sounds good.” The glowing appreciation from Shilpa proved to be one of the defining moments of the finale, further cementing Gullu’s winning performance.

The victory marks yet another milestone for Gullu, adding Maa Hai Na to his growing list of reality show achievements. While the competition tested contestants through fun-filled cooking tasks, emotional moments and teamwork, it was Gullu and his mother’s consistency, resilience and genuine connection that ultimately earned them the title of the inaugural champions.

Expressing his happiness after lifting the trophy, Gullu said, “Winning the first season of Maa Hai Na is a dream come true, but what makes this victory truly special is that I got to experience every moment with my mother by my side. This journey wasn’t just about the challenges it was about celebrating the unconditional love, strength, and sacrifices that mothers make every single day. Every task taught me something new, and every win felt incomplete until I shared it with her. Taking home the trophy is an incredible feeling, but the biggest prize is creating memories that we’ll cherish forever. And now, getting to celebrate this milestone with a trip to Cairo with my mother makes it even more unforgettable. I’m grateful to everyone who believed in us and showered us with so much love throughout this journey.”

Hosted by Shilpa Shetty, Maa Hai Na celebrated laughter, love, food and family, bringing together celebrity mothers and their children in a unique format that resonated with audiences throughout its debut season.
