I have always considered myself a fragile and delicate girl
One lady about whom, before I went that wasn’t the perception of her
but that changed completely that was Divyanka Tripathi
Shweta di, her life stories we have seen and heard about them
Arjun and I had a different bonding. He has always been like family to me.
We have seen her on our TV screens and on big screen in primarily in Tamil and Telegu
films. But now we are most excited to see her Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. Joining me is Sana Makbul.
So, to begin with I want to know since you are on Khatron Ke Khiladi, do you consider
yourself adventurous or like a thrill seeker of any kind?
Adventurous, yes but a thrill seeker no. I have always been adventurous. I always wanted to
try things like whether its skydiving or diving or underwater or any form of adventurous
stuff. So, a lot of things I want to do because I feel it’s just one life you need to experience
everything. So, when Khatron Ke Khiladi happened, I had to say yes. I mean its once in a
lifetime experience. Although I am scared of everything but I didn’t give a thought
if I will be able to do it or not. I said I want to do it. That’s it. So that’s how I signed up. I
have always considered myself a fragile and delicate girl. And every one around me or
I am a very girly girl.
On this show, in this season who would you consider as your biggest competition?
See I won’t talk about guys because guys are physically much stronger. But yes, there was
this one lady about whom, before I went that wasn’t the perception of her but that changed
completely that was Divyanka Tripathi and I was like this lady has wowed me in many ways
and Shweta di. I consider them strong. Shweta di, her life stories we have seen and heard
about them. Without meeting her I used to think such a strong lady. And then when I met her,
the personality that came in front of me, she is quite strong.
Yeah all, I have been there for girl power. I never supported guys there.
Before joining the show, was there anything that you thought that no, I won’t be able to do
this but you went there and you managed to do it?
I am scared of everything. I don’t like heights, I don’t know how to swim, what is this like.
I don’t know swimming at all but I am comfortable in water. I don’t know driving. A lot of
things. How can you stay underwater if you can’t swim? So, I didn’t know if
I could do those things and I did all those things.
Have you formed a special bond or connection or friendship with
anybody that you think will continue after the show?
Before this show I would say I knew Arjun. Arjun and I had a different bonding. He has
always been like family to me. I think after the show too I think he is like my family. During
the show, he was my biggest support. I could learn a lot from him. I think that is one bond
that was strong before the show and would to keep after the show.
I am friends with all of them. I am a very jolly person.
The bonds with people just happen. All the 13 contestants I had a bond with in some or the
other way. Anushka is very small so she feels like a younger sister to me. And literally my
younger sister is her age. Whenever I used to look at her it reminded of my little sister.
Whenever I see Shweta di, Divyanka somebody is there is to take care of me.
Vishal, Varun they are like those
Aastha, Nikki they are like my girlfriends like you know in any way possible you know
I want to know what was the one thing that surprised you the most about Rohit Shetty sir.
So, I have always been in awe of him. I had a great bond with him. Like I don’t talk a lot but
anything something happens he used to look at me because this used to talk a lot.
He also you know read that thing.
You know when you are performing a stunt that you are scared of, he holds your hand as
well. A warmth, saying I am there for you. So that man is everything.
One thing I have learned from him that he is so calm. When someone is performing a stunt
sometimes we are like get over with it already but no he doesn’t let you give up.
So, you celebrated your 28th birthday in Cape Town with the entire gang. What was that like?
I am very excited for the time when June begins and when June ends. I need cake all 30 days,
I need to be pampered. On June 11 I started having withdrawal symptom. I was feeling bad
that I was not at home. So, I think everybody on the bus
I was sitting quietly so Divyanka, Arjun
What happened, is it someone’s birthday? Because I was excited since 1st and on 11th was
super down. Someone’s birthday is coming after few days. So, these guys were there
cheering me up. I celebrated Eid there as well, you know. Ramzan Eid the biggest festival we
have and you know I was sad because of that too that it’s the first time that my Eid is away
from home because I am at home for Eid. I won’t get Eidi. On the day of Eid everyone was
like Sana, where is the kheer? I said give me Eidi and then we will have kheer. So yeah, I think in that way.
If you get the opportunity, would you be interested in going to the Big Boss house in the next season?
I have been very vocal about it. I would consider it but going or not I am not so sure. But I
will give it a thought because last year I learnt a lot so maybe I would do it.
I was always scared before that will I be able to do it. But yeah, let’s see I mean when
Big Boss happens why not? I will think about it.
You made the shift to South industry some time before. Was it easy? Was it difficult?
Considering a language barrier.
So, I have always been a fan of South Indian films. I am half South Indian myself. My mum’s
a South Indian. So, we watch Hindi dubbed south Indian films at home.
There is struggle in every industry. This is what I feel. You struggle for TV; you struggle for films.
Struggle is a part and parcel of this business.
Thank you so much for your time.
It was lovely speaking with you.
Same here.
