The much awaited result of reality show Khatron ka Khiladi is out! The real star of the show, the winner is Shabbir Ahluwalia.
After many guesses and rumours about who will take the trophy home, the final result has hit the news. Fans have been waiting and counting on their favorite Khiladi.
Now as the show Khatron ka Khiladi finally concludes, Shabbir has come out clean, beating tough contestants such as model and actor Dino Morea. He also defeated squash champ Ritwick Bhattacharya.
Priyanka ChopraShabbir, who has emerged as the winner, the Khiladi of the show has been very sweetly congratulated by Priyanka in her own unique style.
She has been quoted saying 'congratulations Shabboo-rani'. The glam girl is proud that someone who truly deserved to win has been recognized for being the Khatron ka khiladi.
Initially, everyone was thinking that Dino Morea would win but Shabbir along with his partner Sushma proved that they are the strongest team. Shabbir is known to have outperformed others in the final chapter of the show.
The 16 episode long season of Khatron ka khiladi is now closed but it has successfully created an imprint, not worth forgetting, with its awesome stunts and breath taking shots. Kudos to Shabbir, the Khatron ka Khiladi!
Shabbir succeeded squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya, after facing two risky stunts on the grand finale, aired on Colors Thursday. Model-actors Milind Soman and Dino Morea were the other two finalists, but lost after the first stunt.
Shabbir who earned fame with TV shows like "Kahiin Toh Hoga" and "Kayamath", walked away with a cash prize of Rs.50 lakh (Rs.5 million) and a Scorpio car.
The finale involved a stunt where one partner was required to walk atop a train in motion at 55 kmph, and co-ordinating with his partner who was under the train. The second stunt required them to drive a car from under a truck - and whichever team did so the maximum times, won the show.
Before being announced as the winner on the show, Shabbir, 31, said the show has made him realise that fear is just a state of mind.
"When I came on board, I thought that during the course of it I'll find out what I'm scared of because I always thought that I'm only scared of god. But instead of that, I got to know that fear is nothing.
"It's just how you condition your mind. When you know that you have to do a particular stunt and you have to do it well, your entire focus is on that fact and then you forget where you are, what height, what conditions," said Shabbir.
The show, hosted by Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and shot in Brazil, started with 13 male celebrities. Names like Rahul Bose, Rahul Dev, Abhishek Kapoor, Angad Bedi, Manjot Singh, Cyrus Broacha, Karan Singh Grover, Armaan Ebrahim, Terence Lewis, were a part of this season.
"Khatron Ke Khiladi" is the Indian version of "Fear Factor", where contestants undergo daredevil stunts to get over their fears and win the show.
