I had a couple of fears when we were going but I came back with a lot more
Arjun, Nikki, Abhinav, Varun these guys for sure
There was a different bonding altogether
Somehow, I feel I am not made for a show like Big Boss
No one flirted with me.
Hi Aastha welcome to Pinkvilla.
Hi thank you so much for having me.
Khatron Ke Khiladi looks very interesting from the pictures that we have seen on Instagram
as of now. Aastha, tell me, what was the fear you had when you were going for the show
and did you face that fear while you were there?
I had a couple of fears when we were going but I came back with a lot more.
I cam back with a lot more, I honestly now I am scared of current, shocks,
you know and heights like
I went thinking like just creepy crawlies were my biggest fears you know but
I came back and I have so many more fears.
But how is the experience of being there?
It was one of the best experiences of my life I feel and that we won’t get to do all of this
again but it was so scary. It was something that was not easy. It was not at all easy
because whatever we were doing
I thought when I used to see it on television, I thought it’s probably not that difficult but
when I was actually in it, I realised oh my God, have you ever heard your legs shivering in
your ears? Like have you ever heard it? I could hear my legs shivering. I could hear that.
This is not normal.
But you know like I said pictures on Instagram were also keeping us entertained through out
the time you’ll were shooting in Cape Town for Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.
Aastha, tell me, did you make a lot of friends on the show?
I have already been in touch with almost everyone but I feel
Arjun, Nikki, Abhinav, Varun these guys for sure
There was a different bonding altogether.
Why did these bonding happen?
Actually, Nikki honestly, I know when we were going for Khatron
she was going through a difficult time in her life,
I am sure you know about it.
She lost her brother.
Yeah, yeah, she lost her brother and
somewhere deep down we felt responsible to be with her and take care of her and all of us
were taking special care of her, emotionally also. And I made sure personally, I know this
fact that you know I have to be there with her because we can’t even imagine what she was
going through. So that brought us close and like I am glad it did.
Because you know she is a very loving person.
And Arjun I feel he was my neighbour. Like when we had rooms right? So, Arjun was my
neighbour, like the next room was Arjun’s. So, he used to oh my God, what a great, crazy
time it was I have had this show I can’t even tell you and I think the wavelength matches you know.
And then with Abhinav I have this Punjabi bond going on. And Varun I feel I again have this
Punjabi bond going on and then I feel that there is a sneaker bond going on.
Sneaker bond?
Yeah, yeah, he is a sneaker head. And I love sneakers so we used to just trip on that. Oh my
God that shoe, lets go buy shoes. But we used to crib at the same time because we are not
allowed to go out so we used to be like, we have come this far and we can’t go out to buy shoes.
You know I have noticed Aastha you have this tendency of making your co stars your
brothers. You made Badshah your brother, you made Raftaar your brother. I hope you didn’t
make anyone on the sets of Khatron Ke Khiladi.
That’s what I was intending to but
honestly the bond was really good with everyone but I didnt call anyone brother.
Besides you Rahul Vaidya who is a singer on Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. Did you guys bond on
songs and did you like jam together while shooting there?
Yeah, we did actually. We bonded so much because we used to discuss a lot about the music
industry and everyone was like what are you guys talking about?
So yes, we had that bond definitely and I was always a fan of Rahul’s voice you know so
when I met him, I was like wow you know I am actually with Rahul Vaidya.
Now let’s see how that goes. Like I have some plans
Oh, did you guys discuss collaboration?
I don’t know.
But it will be fab to see two of you together. It will be such an epic
What do you think about the music scene at present in the country? Do you like remixes?
What’s your take on that actually?
Remixes are good, remakes are not good.
Honestly, I think we are done with it. You know we had this era a lot of remakes were happening
but now people are more aware of how it is affecting the industry because everyone
literally started questioning why remakes?
So now first of all I feel blessed to be a part of this era to know when this indie scene,
independent music, independent artist is back and I remember
I would listen to so much Alisha Chinai
I never thought I will be there you know, so I feel really happy and blessed that
I am a part of it and see its good
A lot of experiments are happening, like a lot of people are exploring new things which is like great.
You think we are past that remix and recreation culture
or would you be taking any remakes if it comes to you?
See honestly for my independent thing I will not. I will not take anything like that
because I haven’t done anything like that.
But if we go Bollywood, I would still not take it.
Coming back to the reality show, you’ve done Khatron Ke Khiladi 11,
would you be open to doing Big Boss 15? Have you been offered it?
I don’t know about that.
But my Khatron Ke Khiladi experience was good, really good, wonderful.
And somehow, I feel I am not made for a show like Big Boss. I don’t know. Big Boss, like I
haven’t thought about it ever and I feel I am too naïve for that show.
Its mentally challenging and I don’t know if I am ready for that right now
because too many things going on in life.
We now move to the second and the last segment of this interview which I call the Khiladi
game. I will give you certain names and you have to tell me which actor suits that title.
Which title suits that actor from Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.
Okay.
Shall we begin?
Okay, so the first one is Hottest Khiladi. Who is the hottest Khiladi on the show?
Nikki.
Yeah.
Strongest Khiladi?
Strongest I think if we talk about girls, I think Divyanka.
And if we talk about boys, I think Vishal.
Who is the flirtatious Khiladi?
No one flirted with me.
No one was flirting. Apparently, everyone was taken.
Who is the funny Khiladi?
Funny I think Arjun for sure. Arjun Bijlani is the funniest guys I have ever met.
One of the most funny characters and wow.
He is hilarious. What humour this guy has, oh my God.
Who is the BFF Khiladi now after the show?
BFF? I think Nikki and Arjun.
Because I have met them also after the show.
Who is the Dramebaaz Khiladi?
Nikki.
We used to laugh and all.
Who is the scared one?
Nikki is coming under many categories. I think its Nikki and Shweta Di.
Sorry Nikki.
And the last one who is sleepy Khiladi?
Varun and Vishal, oh my God. They used to find their place to sleep anywhere. Those two
after sleeping the whole night, they used sleep in the bus, get their make up done and sleep again.
You know from what I have spoken to you this sounds very interesting.
I am sure everyone is waiting for Khatron Ke Khiladi and all the best.
We wish to see you in the finals as well.
Thank you so much.
