Gaurav added, “I am not sure if I am adventurous, but I do things which are very different from what people think I am comfortable with. My career started from a corporate background, and I got into acting without any technical know-how; I just jumped into it. And from TV, I jumped into reality without thinking of the consequences. Contrary to people thinking that I plan and overthink, when it comes to certain things, I generally go with the flow. With Khatron Ke Khiladi, I am going in to face my fears, winning or not winning is secondary, it’s not the first chapter. I want to overcome what’s in my head. This show needs a lot of patience. Even I want to see what I can do. Mental stability is also very important for a show like this.”

Another major reason to do Khatron Ke Khiladi for Gaurav Khanna is host Rohit Shetty. He said, “Another reason to do this show is Rohit Shetty. Who is better than him to learn from? As an actor, I am not trained to do stunts; you don’t get many chances to do stunts on TV, so it’s a welcome thing for me. Working with a stalwart like him, just being under his guidance, is a plus point for me. This year, a lot of my friends are also on the show. I have interacted with them at some point in my life, so it will be fun. I am looking forward to being in South Africa, exploring new places. I will do this with an honest approach.”

On his previous show, Gaurav Khanna had opened up about dealing with colour blindness. Now that he takes on a stunt-based show with the issue still persistent, Gaurav feels it can be a huge challenge. He said, “My colour blindness is going to be a problem on the show. I also have Golfer’s elbow and frozen shoulder, which is my main concern. There are a lot of things I want to overcome. I am my biggest competitor on the show.” Sharing what’s his biggest fear, Gaurav added, “My biggest fear is the day I stop learning anything as an individual, and start thinking I know it all. Then, I might stop growing. I am going to overcome this challenge. I always start from zero in life, which is a good thing. Another fear is that I should never be demotivated by failures. Everybody goes through it, so I want to take it on the chin.”

When asked if he plans to explore the fiction space again, Gaurav said, “Whatever I do next will be different; it can be anything under the sun. I have not planned. I am an actor at heart, so that is never out of the picture anyway.”
