Television actor Gaurav Khanna ’s stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 ended on a painful note. The actor, who took on several tough stunts during his time on Rohit Shetty’s show, was eliminated after hurting his elbow during an elimination task. The injury left him in considerable pain and he could not complete the stunt. The elimination task saw Gaurav compete against Shagun Sharma and Rubina Dilaik.
Before leaving, he also named Farrhana Bhatt, Harsh Gujral and Orry aka Orhan Awatramani as the three contestants he had bonded with the most during his time on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Gaurav may have exited Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, but there’s plenty waiting for him next. Rohit Shetty later revealed that Gaurav was already dealing with tennis elbow, which got aggravated during the stunt. The show lost a player, but we gained a reminder: decency is the ultimate power move.
With the injury preventing him from completing the task, Gaurav was forced to bow out of the competition. Gaurav got emotional while saying goodbye to the show. Another fan shared, “Elimination doesn’t erase impact. Gaurav Khanna walked out with kindness as his armor and sportsman spirit as his legacy. Well, there is an element of fear. It’s called fear factor for a reason… but this is a show that is in its 15th or the 16th season now. We don’t do this in India. We do this in an international location where all the checks and balances and safety procedures and protocols are followed to the absolute maximum. The actor is set to return to fiction with an upcoming Star Plus show and is reportedly reuniting with producer Ekta Kapoor. He will be leading a romance family drama with Shraddha Arya .
The stunt, part of the show’s “pain auction”, involved contestants taking hits from rubber pellets while the distance between them and the firing point was gradually reduced. However, Banijay Asia CEO Deepak Dhar defended the show’s approach and told HT, “It’s, not at all brutal.
