I got so much love from the show and the people and from the contestants and from the
production and from the makeup, oh my God wait Aastha Gill
What is that you are saying death and all that? So I went on that extreme level.
It was very clear. If you perform, you stay. If you don’t, you go home.
Overcome, a little bit.
I can’t fight.
Even after doing it, I couldn’t sleep.
Watch that on the show.
With Rohit sir, the respect that I had, being a wonderful director that he is that’s gone too
high because the kind of a person that he is that we got to know.
So that’s my experience.
I think its one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget it because not
everybody gets the opportunity that we got
So, I am blessed and I feel blessed and I am happy to have met Rohit sir. He’s like one of the
most genuine personalities that I have met in my entire life and his aura is some next level
I think for me the first thing what came into my mind was physical strength. I didn’t think
about that there will be animals, heights, water. I just thought that I don’t have any physical
strength at all. So, I think for me that was my first thing that this show requires physical
strength, you need core strength. How will I do it?
Your mind plays an important role in the whole show and in the whole journey and if your
mind is strong, I think nobody can, nobody can move you. So, I think yeah
So, when I joint Khatron Ke Khiladi, when I was leaving even, I thought that I have done a
physical show before and there I have reached till the end and I was still young then and now
I am older, more powerful I thought it will be an advantage but Khatron Ke Khiladi season 11
is completely different show. The things I have done on Roadies, I didn’t experience even 1%
of that because here it’s a completely different show. And its on such a big scale, you are
doing such amazing things. There is chopper, flying cars, cheetahs, hyenas, crocodile,
everything is there which we didn’t experience in Roadies. And in Roadies even if you lose a
stunt, you lose a task there was a vote out and you would be saved.
But in Khatron Ke Khiladi if you are not performing well, you are going back home.
It was very clear. If you perform, you stay. If you don’t, you go home.
I have definitely fought both the battles and I have definitely come victorious in both the battles.
They are extremely difficult shows, I am very happy to have actually gone through both of
them and experienced both of them and have come out of it with amazing and prosperous
results. Very happy about it.
I loved it. I enjoyed it. Was scared a lot too but overall experience, made new friends, shared
a different bonding with everyone. There was a different bond with Rohit sir so it was fun
I was very, very excited when I got the offer because Khatron Ke Khiladi is one of my
favourite shows and I have always imagined and dreamt that you know that one day I will be
there, I am going to do this show and I am going to perform these stunts but I was
also very nervous because I didn’t expect it, this offer to come so early and for me to take up
this show you know at 18
I was very, very nervous initially and I was also sceptical that should I take this show or not
but then I thought that I should not go for only winning because that is secondary
firstly the experience is going to be so different you know. As an 18-year-old I think it’s
going to be so different that perspective of an 18-year-old being on Khatron Ke Khiladi
amongst, competing with all of these people also, senior and older to me and I am really,
really happy that when I came back, I realised that it was a very good decision. I discussed it
with my parents and you know they have showed really a lot of confidence in me and that’s
the reason I could take up the show.
I am the youngest female contestant in the history of Khatron Ke Khiladi so I have met him
once before and you know I was promoting a show and I remember I met him and when he
saw me on the show, he was so happy, he was like Anushka, you are on the show, you are 18
and I am like yeah sir and he was very happy in fact. He never doubted, like he never showed
that expression like never kind of gave me that feeling that he has a doubt or you know he
feels that I should not come at this age. He was always like there for me, he was always like
Anushka you are going to do it, he always motivated me before my stunts.
Honestly, I said I was very reluctant because I have seen the show and I knew what they were
talking about and I also know my fears but then I took some time, I thought about it again and
again and again and then I realised let’s do something different.
This is a side of mine which I always wanted to explore and I just went in for it.
Khatron Ke Khiladi is one reality show I always to be part of. When earlier I was asked for
this, I couldn’t do it because of my other projects. But this time since because of lockdown
nothing was happening so this came up and I took it up.
I was reluctant only for one fact which was the pandemic, that I shouldn’t be a medium of
virus carrier at my home because I have babies’ home so that was one thing,
I really was worried about but then all happened well.
I would like to share one thing that the contestant area there, at the location where only the
contestants would sit there you could be without the mask because we were talking about
stuff and all of that. But there was line/boundary if you step outside there was this guy who
would be there standing with a stick
Mask please.
Covid police.
Creepy Crawlies.
Yeah, same. Creepy Crawlies was something I was really scared of.
I think, fear for me, is anything like I am not a coward but I get scared. I am scared of fire, I
am scared of heights, I am scared of water, like I am not saying I am comfortable in water but
the water in swimming pool, 4ft. or 5ft. I am comfortable in that but water is something
which I am scared of. I remember I was in meeting I was like death by water is scary and
they all were like what are you talking about? What is this dead and all? I said no, no I am just saying,
Fire and water is something which is scary so they were like that you can say what is you
saying death and all that? So, I was on that extreme level but yes water, fire, heights
I am scared of all these things and I think the fear of water is very less, to an extent during this show.
So, before I joined the show my biggest fear was snakes and after I have completed the show
my biggest fear is still snakes and I have come back with a few more phobias that I had never
known about me. Like few insects over there I don’t even know their names or how they look
I just know they were disgusting as hell. I have come back with that phobia.
I have come back with a phobia of extremely cold water, extremely cold weather, extremely hot weather
because our mood used to actually depend on, oh its sunny right now, if we do this it will be
very exhausting, we’ll be sweating so and body was breaking everyday after doing so many
stunts so we were like
please, the weather God please save us because today we would want this weather but
because Cape Town is so unpredictable in terms of weather that every 10 mins it’s a different
weather altogether so that was one phobia that I have come back with and snakes is still a
phobia. It doesn’t go away.
I have developed a fear of heights. I never thought I had a fear of heights but honestly, it’s
not about fear of heights, anyone who is put on a building of 70 storey building and asked to
walk he or she will get terrified right so as simple as that.
Actually, I didn’t overcome it but since I have come back from South Africa, Cape Town I
have brought a lot of fears with me. I didn’t know I was scared of water, heights but when I
did those stunts then I realised that I was scared of all these things. My biggest fear was
reptiles which I couldn’t overcome. Like you guys have just watched the trailer and from 17th
you will see in the episodes what have I done but its going to be an entertaining part.
People are going to laugh. my fans already started crying, why did you go madam?
They were amazing, they are amazing. Although I have performed dynamic stunts, did them
nicely but the worst part is I hate creepy crawls and worms and you know reptiles so most of
the stunts are similar to that and was a lot scared too.
And even after doing it I couldn’t sleep you know the sleep was gone because it literally felt
like snakes are all over you because you never experience something like this in you daily life
and 15-20 snakes going over you so obviously you go in trauma like oh God, snakes are still on me.
My biggest fear was the spider literally because I have always been terrified of a spider no
matter what the size is, no matter, I don’t care. If it’s a spider I will run and my mom was like
when I used to tell her what all I have done in the show she used to be like if there was even a
single insect in your room you used to run off and you use to be like we have to change the
house and I am not kidding, you have to ask my mom.
I used to straight up be like we have to change the house, there is a bad insect there. And
from there to do Khatron Ke Khiladi is a big journey you know in itself and I was there to
compete with myself. I was there to you know test my limits and it turned out to be amazing
and I am really, really glad that I took up this opportunity.
I feel I am too naïve for Big Boss. I can’t fight.
Yeah same.
A good thing of course. I am a Salman fan, for sure.
The mindset I had towards Big Boss has changed in the last one and half years. It used to be
like I won’t be able to stay in this house. I can’t do this, I can’t fight.
You have to be mentally calm, composed there. So, I said I can’t do this because I am very
short tempered like that. And I am very moody. I am very moody. Like if I feel it, you can
make me dance but if not then you cannot make me dance. It’s like that. So Big Boss is not
for me. But last year in that situation, pandemic was there and you were home for a while and
it taught us a lot of things and then I had this thought in my head that if I can stay in a house
for 3-4 months you know so I think, when you are doing the dishes too, cleaning yourself, cooking food
so I thought maybe I can do this. So, I had this thought if Big Boss offered to me then why
not? I will take into consideration. Will I do it or not is completely different but why not?
At least let me find out what happens, how it happens.
So, my perception about Big Boss is that very Big Boss contestant can do Khatron Ke
Khiladi show but very Khatron Ke Khiladi show contestant cannot do a Big Boss because
Big Boss requires different level of your mental calmness and your mental strength. It’s a
very difficult show. From day one you are put in a situation where some people are really
annoying and you have to deal with it and tackle them in your own way and I don’t know for
how many days, 140 days maybe. It’s a very difficult show so I don’t think I am mentally that
strong enough to sustain that, to be in that house with people who I don’t like and I am guy
who enjoys my freedom like that. I am a guy who likes to go on an adventure trip with my
friends. I can’t be sitting in a house, secluded with some people who I don’t like
so I rather not do that show.
Yes, I have been offered, getting calls for the last three years but my mind doesn’t allow me
to do it, that’s one stunt that I would abort.
I would love to do Big Boss; I have said this before. Both of these shows are my favourite
reality shows. I have always wanted to be a part of these you know shows. I have done KKK, let’s
see if I am a part of Big Boss sometime.
