Mohit Malik on Conquering His Fear of Heights: 'I Was Very Determined To Win the Stunt and Get Over My Fear'

Mohit’s next stunt was an aerial stunt and he had to compete against  Tushar Kalia and Ericka Packard. The stunt required the contestants to jump across 2 separating platforms, collect flags from one side and hook them on to the other side. And with Mohit having a fear of heights, it was truly challenging for him. To add to the pressure, this stunt had never been completed during the earlier seasons of Khatron Ke Khiladi. But it all worked out in Mohit’s favour as he not only completed the stunt, but won it too.

Mohit had a good day that day given the fact that he also ended up conquering his fear of heights to a certain extent. He says, “Let me begin by telling you it was an amazing stunt. I have a fear of heights but I had made up my mind to complete the stunt. To top it all, I got the fear fanda in my earlier stunt and really really didn’t want to go into the elimination round in my first week itself. So I was pretty determined.” 

He revealed, “We had to collect 20 flags, and it was difficult because it required you to be extremely fit, have a lot of lung power and agility. Even though heights are a huge fear of mine, I did not give up, I pulled through and won it. I think that was one of my best stunts because I managed to conquer my fear.” 

An elated Mohit added, “It was a really really exhilarating experience. In fact, I was competing with Tushar and Erika and that stunt has somewhere helped cement the bond between me and Tushar. We were both encouraging one another, cheering on each other.” Well…. All’s well that ends well, right?
