Khatron Ke Khiladi 11's Arjun Bijlani: 'I Didn't Expect Divyanka Tripathi To Perform So Well, Instead I Had A Lot Of Expectations From Nikki Tamboli'- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Arjun Bijlani speaks about his experience in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. Who he felt performed brilliantly and how was it working with Rohit Shetty
Television actor Arjun Bijalni, who has been a part of popular shows including Naagin, is currently been seeing in the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 11. The actor in a recent video chat with SpotboyE.com shared details about his journey in the show and also revealed the reason for crying due to electric shock in the very first promo shared by the channel;
How real is the stunt-based reality show?
A lot of people must be thinking that if the stunts shown to them in the show are real or not. They show so many dangerous tasks. But honestly, it's all real. And it's definitely the most difficult show to be in. The stunts are designed in a way that you will not ever feel that it is easy. You really need to have a physical and mental balance while performing the stunts. Also, luck plays a very important role.
What was your thought process while going for the show?
I had gone to the show only with the mindset of winning the show. So with that spirit at least you try everything. And I did that only. I gave my best to the show and let's see what happens ahead. It's been a great experience. And I would suggest everybody who has been offered this show to must do it.
Did you actually cry while getting those electric shocks that we saw in the promos?
Roya matlab literally aasuon se nahi roya tha. But it was a weird feeling. One thing is pain and the other one is shock and that shock is such that you get numb. You don't understand what needs to be done now. As you get disoriented after a point. And ultimately water starts flowing from your eyes.
Who were the contestants who surprised you with their performances?
Divyanka was a big surprise element for me. I definitely knew that she is a strong-headed girl. But she will perform so well in the show, I was not expecting. I think she did a great job. And the person I was expecting to perform and didn't perform was Nikki Tamboli. After seeing her in Bigg Boss, I thought she will be exceptional on the show. But that didn't happen. Apart from her, Sourabh Raaj Jain was also a very strong contender but I think the luck factor was not with him at that time.
How was your experience with host Rohit Shetty?
The taking I took from Rohit Sir is that he balances everything very beautifully. His approach towards people is very humble. He was like a God to us over there. Because whenever we used to feel like giving up on any stunt, he used to come and push us to perform. He is somebody who held the show on his shoulders. And he is doing that every year which is great. He shared a lot of experiences of him including from his film sets which was really very inspiring for me as an actor. I am so fortunate that I got to work with him and I would love to work with him again.
