By Ians English
TV
actress
Pooja
Gor,
who
is
the
first
contestant
to
be
eliminated
from
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi
5,
says
her
experience
on
the
action-adventure
reality
series
has
helped
her
conquer
her
fears
to
an
extent.
Her
elimination
was
announced
Sunday.
"I
do
wish
I
had
survived
my
elimination
stunt
and
continued
to
be
a
part
of
the
thrill
and
adventure
that
the
show
brings.
But
be
it
my
fear
of
creepy
crawlies
or
water,
I
can
happily
say
that
I
have
overcome
them
all
to
a
great
extent," Pooja
said
in
a
statement.
Perceived
by
many
as
a
shy
person,
the
"Kitani
Mohabbat
Hai"
and
"Mann
Kee
Awaaz
Pratigya"
actress
displayed
her
daring
side
when
she
went
into
a
tank
filled
with
snakes
for
the
show.
In
the
elimination
round,
she
found
herself
in
troubled
waters
as
she
attempted
to
pull
out
dangerous
cayman
and
catfish
from
deep
water
tanks.
Unfortunately,
she
failed
at
completing
the
task
and
became
the
first
victim
of
elimination.
However,
she
is
happy
about
the
journey
on
the
show.
"The
experience
was
truly
fabulous.
Being
a
part
of
'Khatron
Ke
Khiladi' was
always
going
to
be
a
challenge
and
I
am
quite
proud
of
myself
for
achieving
what
I
have,"
she
added.
During
the
course
of
the
show,
hosted
by
filmmaker
Rohit
Shetty,
Pooja
found
a
close
friend
and
confidante
in
fellow
contestant
Rochelle
Maria
Rao
with
whom
she
would
spend
much
of
her
free
time.
The
new
found
friends
even
shed
a
tear
upon
learning
about
Pooja's
exit,
but
parted
ways
with
the
promise
to
stay
in
touch.
