After a year-long sabbatical, Rithvik Dhanjani will be seen participating in Rohit Shetty-hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. This will be Rithvik’s third stint on the show. He was first seen on Khatron Ke Khiladi 8 in 2017, where he finished in seventh place. In 2020, Rithvik also participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi – Made In India, where he was evicted in ninth place.
Talking about participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi for the third time, Rithvik told SCREEN in an exclusive interview, “I love this format. It’s one of the most enriching experiences of your life. I tell every actor that if they get a chance to do Khatron Ke Khiladi even once in their life, do not miss it. I feel blessed to have gotten this chance thrice.” However, Rithvik is not as daring as he may appear on the show. Contrary to his good friend Karan Wahi’s claim that “Rithvik can perform any stunt,” the Pavitra Rishta actor said, “There are so many things that scare me. I get wobbly at heights. I don’t like free fall. I don’t like the gas chamber stunts. Why Karan says so is because…If you throw me in any situation in life, I will thrive. I am not meant to give up. There is nothing on this planet I cannot do; that’s how I live.”

Rithvik Dhanjani on his biggest fear in life: ‘Heartbreak’
Talking about his biggest fear in life at the moment, Rithvik Dhanjani shared, “There are quite a few, but what really scares me the most is the fear of my heart being broken again. It is one of my biggest fears, and I am dealing with it daily. It is very difficult, and I am really scared of it.”
Rithvik further added, “In life, I am not very proud of it, but I am trying. Just by the virtue of the workspace that we are in, the world we are in, the social media we are surrounded with, a certain level of insecurity does become a part of everyone’s life. It is only truthful for me to accept that yes, it does scare me. I do get insecure about small things at times. Mostly they are personal insecurities, never related to work. I am not insecure at work ever. Personally, there are little things that scare me, like my heart being broken. But I still try to put that out on a plate in the hope that it will be cherished and not broken. Just the act of putting it on a plate and trying again is something I am proud of. I have not been victorious in it, but I am trying every single day.”
