Gaurav Khanna shares why his mother was against him joining ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’

‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ is all set to raise the fear factor yet again with its 15th season, featuring daring stunts, intense challenges, and adrenaline-pumping action in Cape Town.

Joining the contestant lineup this season is Gaurav Khanna, who is ready to take on a completely new challenge. However, before gearing up for the adventurous journey, Gaurav first had to convince his mother, who was extremely worried about him participating in the reality show. After witnessing his emotional journey during Bigg Boss, she was concerned about him entering a format that tests contestants both mentally and physically.Speaking about it, Gaurav shared, “My mother was very worried when she found out I’m doing Khatron Ke Khiladi. During Bigg Boss, whenever things got emotionally intense inside the house, she would get stressed watching everything from outside. There were moments when she would start hyperventilating while watching me under pressure on the show.” He further shared, “For her, Khatron Ke Khiladi felt even tougher because this isn’t just mental pressure; it’s physical as well.

Her biggest concern was safety. She kept asking me what kind of stunts we’ll be doing, how everything works, and whether it’s all safe there. For the first few days, she kept telling me not to do the show. I had to reassure her that there’s a proper team handling everything and that every precaution is taken.

”Later, he added, “I think for any mother, watching her child step into something so unpredictable is never easy. She’s still worried, though she’s mildly convinced as she is packing all my favourite snacks, besan ke laddu being one of them.”‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 15’ will air soon.
