Farrhana Bhatt, currently competing on the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, is set to take on one of the challenges she had dreamed of even before entering the show — a high-octane car stunt under the supervision of filmmaker and host Rohit Shetty.
Known for his elaborate and gravity-defying car action sequences, Shetty will oversee Farrhana’s much-awaited stunt in the upcoming episode.
Speaking about the experience, Farrhana said performing a car stunt on Khatron Ke Khiladi had been one of her biggest goals for the season. However, getting to that point was far from easy.
She revealed that before signing up for the show, her doctors had advised her not to push herself physically because of health-related concerns. The demanding schedule and physical exhaustion of the reality show also left her questioning whether she should continue.
"Honestly, getting to do a car stunt on Khatron Ke Khiladi was my dream for this season. Before even signing the show, my doctors told me to back off and not push myself because of my health issues," Farrhana said.
She added that the intensity of the journey had, at times, made her want to quit.
"Moreover, the exhaustion of this whole journey made me just want to slam on the brakes and quit. But I manifested getting to perform a car stunt in front of Rohit Shetty sir," she said.
For Farrhana, sitting behind the wheel turned into a moment of determination. She said she refused to allow either fear or her physical limitations to stop her from attempting the challenge.
"So the second I got behind that wheel, every doubt went straight to the backseat. Of course, doing a car stunt under Rohit sir's mentorship brings a completely different level of pressure, given that he is the undisputed king of car action!" she said.
The challenge, however, did not go exactly as she had imagined. Farrhana said a series of unexpected obstacles made the stunt even more intense, at one point making her feel as though she had been dropped into an actual action film directed by Shetty.
"But there were so many crazy and unexpected roadblocks. At one point, it felt like I was being directed by Rohit sir in a full-blown action movie. And on the other hand I thought, 'Wow, you really need to be careful what you wish for!'" she recalled.
Despite the difficulties, Farrhana said the experience has left a lasting impression on her. Every time she gets behind the wheel now, she expects the memory of the stunt and the adventure surrounding it to come rushing back.
The upcoming episode will show whether Farrhana manages to conquer the challenge she had hoped for since the beginning of her Khatron Ke Khiladi journey.
Khatron Ke Khiladi airs on COLORS and streams on JioHotstar.
