Inseparable identical twins Radha and Prabha can read each other’s minds, but will their telepathic powers prove a competitive advantage the kitchen? Find out when My Kitchen Rules launches on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Being in sync is not their only superpower, the Sydney-based sisters did the unthinkable and left Colin Fassnidge – the toughest judge to impress – in tears, when they served their late dad’s favourite dish in their instant restaurant.
“We lost our dad when we were two. Every time we cook a dish, it reminds us of him,” the twins said. “We were able to give tribute to our dad.”
Inseparable identical twins Radha and Prabha think they have the secret recipe to win the competition: their telepathic powers. They hope their ability to read each other’s minds will help them win the title of MKR champions.
Raised by a single mother after their father passed away when they were two years old, cooking has helped Radha and Prabha feel connected to their strong, caring mother while keeping their father’s memories alive.
The twins are passionate about helping others. Prabha works in cancer research and Radha is currently training to be a lawyer.
Prabha, who was born two minutes before her sister, takes her role as the bossy older twin very seriously. Although they describe themselves as a lot of fun together, they often end up arguing before realising they both mean the same thing.
