Television actor Gaurav Khanna has had a dramatic start to his journey on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Known for taking on challenges with confidence, the actor recently revealed that he suffered a painful back injury while performing one of the show’s high-risk stunts.
The actor shared a glimpse of the injuries on social media, leaving fans concerned. The marks on his back clearly reflected the intensity of the stunt, with Gaurav admitting that the experience was one of the toughest moments of his career.
Gaurav Shares Painful Injury
Taking to social media, Gaurav posted a video showing the bruises on his back and thanked fellow contestant Orry (Orhan Awatramani) for recording the moment.
Reflecting on the experience, Gaurav wrote that watching the stunt again on television brought back the pain. Calling it the “most painful experience ever,” he revealed that all four contestants involved in the task suffered similar injuries and that he still carries the marks from the stunt.
His post quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom praised his determination and wished him a speedy recovery.
His Mother’s Biggest Fear Came True
Before joining Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, Gaurav had spoken about his mother’s concerns regarding the adventure reality show.
He revealed that while his family had always supported his career, his mother was worried about the physical risks involved in the competition. She repeatedly asked him about the kind of stunts contestants perform and whether adequate safety measures were in place.
According to Gaurav, every mother naturally worries when her child chooses to participate in something as physically demanding and unpredictable as Khatron Ke Khiladi.
Fans Praise His Fighting Spirit
Despite the painful injury, Gaurav continued participating in the competition, earning appreciation from viewers for his courage and commitment. Many fans flooded social media with messages of support, applauding him for pushing through the pain instead of giving up.
His determination has further strengthened his image as a contestant willing to give his best, no matter how difficult the challenge.
Shagun Sharma’s Bullying Claim
While Gaurav has been receiving support for his performance, he also recently found himself in the middle of controversy after fellow contestant Shagun Sharma alleged that he bullied her during the show.
In an interview, Shagun claimed that Gaurav often singled her out whenever contestants failed or aborted a task. She said he frequently questioned her strength and confidence during the competition.
However, she also acknowledged that reality shows often bring out a different side of people and added that she could not say whether Gaurav behaves the same way in real life.
High-Stakes Competition Continues
Hosted by Rohit Shetty, Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 premiered on August 1 and features several popular television personalities and social media stars. Alongside Gaurav Khanna, contestants include Avinash Mishra, Avika Gor, Rubina Dilaik, Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, Harsh Gujral, Vishal Aditya Singh, Orry and others.
With dangerous stunts becoming tougher each week, injuries are an unfortunate reality of the competition. Gaurav’s latest experience serves as a reminder of the physical challenges contestants willingly take on to entertain audiences and test their limits.
