Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is finally premiering today, bringing with it adrenaline-pumping stunts, daring challenges and fierce competition. Hosted by Rohit Shetty, the latest season promises to be bigger and tougher than ever before under the theme Darr Ka Naya Daur. Among the contestants taking on their fears is actress Avika Gor, who is making her return to the stunt-based reality show. Ahead of the premiere, Avika spoke exclusively to Telly Talk India/Times Now about the intense experience of filming the show in Cape Town, South Africa. She opened up about the dangerous stunts, how the season tested her confidence, and the biggest lesson she took away from the adventure.
Avika Gor says Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 was ‘crazy’
Speaking about the challenges this season, Avika revealed that the stunts were unlike anything she had experienced before. She joked that the makers seemed determined to push every contestant to their absolute limit, adding that the first-look promo itself gave audiences a glimpse of the madness waiting to unfold. Avika said, “I think overall bahut hi crazy cheezein hui hain is baar. Aur aapne woh first look promo bhi dekha hi hoga jahan pe gaadiyan udd rahi hain, crocodile hai. I think is baar team ki taraf se poori koshish ki gayi thi ki koi zinda wapas aaye hi na. [Laughs] But hum sab bach ke nikal aaye.”
Avika also reflected on how her mindset had changed since her previous experience on the show. She admitted that during her first stint, she entered with confidence but later realised it was actually overconfidence. This time, she consciously approached the competition with a more grounded attitude. Avika said, “Is baar main isi soch ke gayi thi ki mujhe toh har cheez se dar lagta hai. I am scared of everything.” The actress then added, ” Toh is baar mera confidence already low tha. Aur jab yeh saari cheezein dekhi toh phir confidence toh tha hi nahi. So I think I completely lost my confidence.”
Here’s how Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 changed Avika Gor
Despite the challenges, Avika said the experience completely changed the way she looks at fear. She explained that fears never truly disappear, but learning how to deal with them eventually becomes a person’s greatest strength. The actress even revealed that the show inspired her to become more adventurous in real life.
Avika bravely said, “Through the season, but I think the biggest learning for me is ki hamare jo fears hote hain, woh gayab nahi ho jaate, woh rehte hain. But it’s just that at the end of the day, aap unse deal kaise karte ho, that becomes your strength.”
The actress then revealed, “Aur main jitni pagal thi pehle ki haan yeh bhi karna hai try, woh bhi karna hai try, ab main thodi aur ho gayi hoon kyunki wahan se wapas aate hi maine Thailand mein apna skydiving aur scuba diving certification course sign kar liya. Toh ab main pagal poori tarah ho gayi hoon after this show.”
