Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 Contestants: Gaurav Khanna Shares Why His Mother Was Against Him Joining Colors Show

Before facing any stunt in Cape Town, Gaurav Khanna is first handling fears at home. The Bigg Boss 19 winner shares that joining COLORS' 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15' has led to intense discussions with family. The main concern comes from Gaurav Khanna's mother, who is anxious about the show’s demanding format and the pressure it brings on contestants.

Her worries are rooted in what happened during Bigg Boss 19. During that season, Gaurav Khanna went through several emotionally heavy situations on screen. Watching those episodes from home affected the family, and Gaurav Khanna recalls that the experience left a strong impression on his mother. That reaction is now shaping her view of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15'.

Gaurav Khanna in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15: emotional concerns and safety fears

For 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15', the concern is no longer limited to emotions. The format brings together mental pressure with physically risky stunts. Gaurav Khanna explains that this mix increases his mother's stress. The thought of unpredictable tasks, complicated setups, and dangerous locations makes the family conversation far more intense and detailed.

Gaurav Khanna shares, "My mother was very worried when she found out I'm doing Khatron Ke Khiladi. During Bigg Boss, whenever things got emotionally intense inside the house, she would get stressed watching everything from outside. There were moments when she would start hyperventilating while watching me under pressure on the show. For her, Khatron Ke Khiladi felt even tougher because this isn't just mental pressure; it's physical as well. Her biggest concern was safety. She kept asking me what kind of stunts we'll be doing, how everything works, and whether it's all safe there. For the first few days, she kept telling me not to do the show. I had to reassure her that there's a proper team handling everything and that every precaution is taken. I think for any mother, watching her child step into something so unpredictable is never easy. She's still worried, though she's mildly convinced as she is packing all my favourite snacks – besan ke laddu being one of them."
