Mumbai, August 5 — Actress Farrhana Bhatt has praised filmmaker Rohit Shetty for being a steadfast pillar of support as host of Khatron Ke Khiladi, saying his encouragement gives contestants the confidence to attempt even the most terrifying stunts.

Speaking exclusively to IANS after returning from the Cape Town shoot of the latest season, Bhatt described Shetty as an incredibly motivating host.

“He is amazing as a host. He is so motivating. I mean, it's not possible that if there is a stunt that you are hesitating to do, you are not able to do that stunt. But if Rohit Shetty is standing beside you and he is supporting you, then I feel you will jump into the well of death,” she said.

Her comments come amid the intense physical challenges contestants have been facing on the stunt-based reality show. Recently, actor Gaurav Khanna shared a video showing laser burn marks on his back sustained while performing one of the high-risk tasks.

Earlier, Bhatt had outlined what she believes is essential to win a show like Khatron Ke Khiladi. “I think in order to win that show, it is important that you give 100% in those stunts. Because when you give 100%, then only you will get the content, then only the audience will watch you. Then only the audience will decide whether you are a winning material or not,” she told IANS.

Hosted by Rohit Shetty, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 features celebrities including Rubina Dilaik, Rithvik Dhanjani, Karan Wahi, Farrhana Bhatt, Jasmine Bhasin, Ruhaanika Dhawan, Vishal Aditya Singh, Gaurav Khanna, Shagun Sharma and others.

Bhatt’s remarks highlight the host’s role in helping contestants push past fear during the high-stakes stunt challenges that define the long-running reality series.
