‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’: Abhishek Kumar’s Claustrophobia Nearly Kept Him From Rohit Shetty’s Stunt Show, Says ‘I Was Very Scared’
After Bigg Boss, fans of Abhishek Kumar are excited to see his new adventurous side in the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, which is hosted by Rohit Shetty. During a conversation with ANI, Abhishek shared his first thought that came when the show was pitched to him. He said, “First I wasn’t signing. I was very scared. I had claustrophobia. I couldn’t swim. I had a problem in my hand. But then I talked to the people who were in Khatron, like Ravi sir, Karan Wahi bhai. I talked to them. And they said, man, are you crazy? It’s such a big show. Why are you refusing? And you will learn so much. There will be so many things that you will take them for a lifetime.” ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’: Rohit Shetty’s Stunt-Based Show Premieres on Colors TV From THIS Date (Watch Promo Video).
Abhishek added, “Then I watched the episodes. Then I discussed it with my family. Then I said, man, everyone doesn’t get a chance. There are only 12-13 lucky people who get a chance every year. So you are one of those 12-13 people. Because I think the whole of India wants to do it. So everyone boosted me that I can do it, you have that potential. Sometimes it happens that you don’t see the potential in yourself, but the other person knows because they have seen something in you. So one day at night I sat down with closed eyes, and when I closed my eyes, I was signing. So, after that, I decided that let’s do it.”Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 Contestant List: Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel and These Actors Confirmed To Join Rohit Shetty’s Stunt-Based Reality Show.
Talking about his bond with the host of the show Rohit Shetty, he said, “I have a great bond with Rohit Sir. We used to have fun on the shoot. He was a fan of my English (jokingly said). He told me a very nice thing that I will always remember. He said you are leaving this platform with a transformation from a boy into a man. He also said, wow, Abhishek. You have changed my perception. There is a drastic change in you from Bigg Boss to this show. I told him, that after meeting more people here, I have learned after seeing them how can you stay calm and move forward. How can you control your emotions? How can you control your anger? And you can apply it to good things. So I’m learning.”
The show hosted by Rohit Shetty is based on the format of the American show ‘Fear Factor’. The KKK 14th season also features Aditi Sharma, Shilpa Shinde, Krishna Shroff, Shalin Bhanot Kedar Aashish Mehrotraa, and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia. The 14th season was shot in Romania.
