Abhishek Kumar, who has recently captured the hearts of many through his impressive performance on "Khatron Ke Khiladi 14," took to Instagram to share a significant personal milestone: he has successfully overcome his long-standing claustrophobia. The runner-up from "Bigg Boss 17" posted a compelling video of himself executing a challenging stunt from the show, accompanied by an emotional message that resonated with his followers.

In his heartfelt note, Abhishek recounted a particularly harrowing experience he faced while inside a tear gas chamber. He described the moment as one where he felt as if he might lose his life, and he contemplated quitting the show due to the overwhelming fear and physical distress he was experiencing. The sensation of breathlessness as the tear gas enveloped him was intense, causing him to struggle with both his vision and ability to breathe. He vividly recalled how, at one point, he began to vomit and thought it was all over for him.
However, in that moment of despair, Abhishek found strength in the voices of those who had doubted him during his time on "Bigg Boss." This reflection spurred him to push through the ordeal rather than succumb to his fears. He noted how each passing second felt like an eternity, yet once he emerged from the chamber, a wave of triumph washed over him. He expressed gratitude for having faced and conquered this fear, stating, “Wow, Abhishek, you did it!”
He acknowledged the years it took to confront his claustrophobia and thanked "Khatron Ke Khiladi 14" and its team for their support in his journey towards overcoming this challenge. For context, Abhishek had previously opened up about his claustrophobia on "Bigg Boss 17," where he faced mockery from his ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya and her then-boyfriend Samarth Jurel. This victory on "Khatron Ke Khiladi" not only signifies personal growth for Abhishek but also serves as an inspiration for many who face their own fears.
