Irkeli Gonshvili captured the judges' hearts at auditions for the cooking show with a moving life story • Ansky: "He gave us proportions in life"
Shaky life stories and dramas are always the secret ingredient that is taken care of in generous amounts in reality shows, but the life story of the contestant Irkeli Gonshvili seems impossible to invent even if they put in a lot of effort.

Gonshvili (50), a foreman from Petah Tikva, entered the studio of the ninth season of "Master Chef", and from the moment he opened his mouth it was clear that he was dealing with a special spice.
Gonshvili shared with the judges the story of his difficult life that seemed to be taken from a telenovela script.
Loose health included severe hospitalizations, the loss of a mother, wife and son in tragic circumstances, and a reality that would have likely failed to collapse and discourage many, but not him.
While preparing the dish, Gonshvili was careful to be optimistic as he repeated the mantra over and over again that he takes with both hands what God has given him and does not complain, and managed to excite the judges sitting in front of him amazed at his almost inconceivable life story.
Regardless of the dish he prepared, Gonshvili's sincerity and life story were enough to get the judges and the audience at home to connect with him, and the network was filled with complimenting and embracing statuses, including from Judge Michal Ansky who shed tears during the audition, .
"This is Irkali, the man who entered the hearts of all the people of Israel and gave us proportions in life," she wrote. "Just before we close again, we should look at his smile and understand his mental strength. .

"Yoo yoo Irkli from Master Chef What a man!", Tweeted an excited surfer and added: "The tears are stuck in my throat like a kick to the brain, for how many loss people overcome and at the end sit in front of these cameras with a smile. Yoo. .
"I wish you only good and happiness all the days, that you will always smile and be happy, you man," wrote one of the surfers.
Advertiser Aviv Reuven wrote: "How does he even live? I asked myself ... how does he smile at all? How does he wake up to a nightmare life every day and still radiate joy? Suddenly I noticed that between a difficult story and a difficult story Arkley made sure to say: Everything is fine! Everything is fine! What's! Going forward! Thank God! Thank God! I did not cry because I felt sorry for him. I cried because I felt I was a brat who sometimes does not know how to appreciate and complain about small and marginal things. While there are people who with 1,000 times problems do not dare to complain "With love. This is a lesson for all of us! Learn from it !! Take everything in proportion."
I watched an episode of Master Chef and I'm not ashamed to tell you I just started crying like a little kid in front of the screen.
Do you see this man ?!
man...
