Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is back with the ninth season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', and much like other seasons, this year too, the makers are trying to rope in a great set of contestants. After TV actor Zain Imam, comedienne Bharti Singh and husband Harsh Limbachiyaa, it's actress Avika Gor,
the balika vadhu' of Indian television, who has been finalised for the
show. "I was approached earlier for other seasons as well, but due to
prior commitments like my show 'Sasural Simar Ka'
and some southern projects, I couldn't be a part of it. This year it
was practical and possible, so I immediately gave a nod, she said.
Looks like Avika is all set to get into action mode. "I am an adventure
junkie, but honestly, even if a person is adventurous, there is
something or the other that he or she is scared of and in 'Khatron Ke
Khiladi' there is no mercy. I have always been the youngest and the most
pampered on the sets. Here it's a competition, this show will be a
challenge for me, she told us.
The actress is quite thrilled and believes the show will be a huge test
for her physical and mental strength. "I have no phobias as such, just a
little scared of creepy crawly creatures, they aren't cute at all. This
show will be a test of my strengths. I am going with a lot of hopes. I
will face all my fears with complete control, focus and confidence, she
said.
While Avika made her debut at Cannes
last year, she told us about this year's cancelled Cannes plan. "We
were supposed to go this year as well, my hotel and flight reservations
were done. I was supposed to attend a press conference and walk the red
carpet as I was one of the invitees to a friend's screening. Four-five
of us were supposed to go, but one of them cancelled and everybody else
did after that. I was very sad because we couldn't go. But I am sure
next year I will be there, she said, adding, "There are so many pretty
faces from India this time. My heart melted when I saw a picture of
Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan) kissing her daughter.
