Then there was a gap. So, obviously they are superstars and I am just a director. So, while I was doing my first season I used to feel host to main kar lunga and stunts bhi. But will the audience accept me? That was like a nightmare for me. When the very first episode was telecasted, I was waiting for the TRP. Now, I am confident because people know that I host this show and they have accepted me in this format. As a host of the show. But the first season I was really scared."

The reality show is launching its season 11 tonight and so far Rohit has hosted 6 seasons successfully. Ask him the reason behind and he says, "I think the formatting that we changed. Earlier it used to be 12-13 people doing the same stunts. So when I got offered I watched all the seasons and realized after a point how much the same thing people would see. So we changed the format and then when I came on board I brought humor. At the end of its entertainment and you need to hold the viewers for one and a half hours of television time. And kids watch this show. Now, after doing two-three seasons, we came to know how much kids like to watch this show. And parents are happy they are sitting with them and watching the show."
