The finale stunt was performed by the top three finalists - Arjun, Divyanka and Vishal Aditya Singh. While Vishal couldn’t make it to top two, Arjun and Divyanka had a gap of 20 seconds only between their stunt performances.
Talking about Divyanka Tripathi’s impressive journey on KKK 11, she got the name ‘Magar Rani’ and ‘Dhaakad Girl’ for showcasing her fearless spirit and unexpectedly acing all of her performance. She was also praised for her courage by the host Rohit Shetty multiple times during the season’s run.
Arjun Bijlani also opened up about the fixed winner claims made by the fans of Divyanka Tripathi. Hr asserted that it is sad to see that people do not even spare the host.
Elaborating further, Arjun Bijlani told Bollywoodlife, “It is very sad. This show is not based on who people like or the channel prefers. It is based on who performs a stunt faster or with more finesse. The finale stunt, I did it faster. The other day Divyanka did some stunts faster. I was better on that day, the channel was not doing the stunt. Once people see it, they'll know it is a tough stunt, and Divyanka was caught in the net for a while. Everyone who saw the stunt knew I did it faster.”
