alright so i waited about a week to tell you i how really felt about this @masterchefonfox journey.  First off i want to thank every single person that wished me well, said theyre proud of me, congratulations, and all those amazing words that you think are words, but to me it actually has meaning. Im most likely crying while i type this, but thats because i might be a ny girl but i cry every 2 seconds  The most beautiful thing out of this entire experience were all people telling me their kids, siblings, neices/nephews everyone,  gathered around the tv every week and watched me, especially all the little bengali kids that felt a bit of ease when they heard the word bangladesh. I had a pretty lonely childhood and tv was the one thing that brought me comfort every single week, especially watching masterchef. So i get it, i really do. It actually means something when a child, a girl, or anyone at any age can see themselves that makes them feel seen; and i dont take that for granted.  This was the hardest and anxiety ridden experience i ever had in my life. I knew this was going to be the hardest thing i ever done, but im always doing stuff that makes me uncomfortable. I really am so proud of myself, because yes this is one of the coolest things i ever did, and im glad i did it. I dont represent an entire country. I represent myself that happens to also be bangladeshi. I represent what you think is impossible but you keep doing stuff that challenges the norm 🐸 After i was eliminated, it was really hard. I didnt cook for days and i doubted myself if i was even good, and started overthinking and felt like i shouldnt have gotten eliminated, but the mind really keeps you thinking what if. But you must do the what if.  Thank you so much for all the support. I have some exciting things happening soon. I want to thank the people that gave me a chance @dannyschrades @gordongram @mastercheftd @jbastianich and everyone behind the scenes on the show. Thank you for believing in me when i dont do it to myself.  #masterchef #southasian #desi #bengali #bangladeshi
