You are one of the youngest contestants, how did you convince yourself to do the show?
I was very nervous, but I was also very excited because it is such a big show and also my favourite shows. You know you always imagine doing a show when you see it and I genuinely did not know I will get this offer so soon and I will do it. I had to convince myself a lot because I was wondering if or not I’ll be able to do it, also because other people are physically fitter than me, they are older than me, but I wanted to experience this and see how would it be to go to a show at 18. In the history of Khatron Ke Khiladi, I am the youngest girl to do the show. I will always remember all the memories.
You are the social media queen and we hear you’ve helped out a lot of people. Tell us more.
I remember Sana’s reaction when she asked me how to make the motivational reels, and I showed it to her and she was in a sweet shock, wondering just how did it happen. And that week, she shared so many reels, I am proud of her. (laughs)
Mr. Rohit Shetty sir, for social media and the short forms, then Rahul Vaidya, then also Arjun Bijlani, he was a pro, and he got better, then Varun Sood, and Vishal Singh. I have shared a little with everyone (smiles) Everyone has become a pro, all of them are brighter students.
What would you say is one phobia you have overcome?
There were a lot of such tasks which made me go crazy in the head but I did them somehow. I want to say it, but I want people to see the journey I have had from the first episode and see how I got stronger.
You also found brothers in the form of Varun Sood and Vishal Aaditya Singh, tell us your bond with them.
My two brothers, are very caring and they love me a lot, but they love me so much that they are also very protective of me. In fact, Varun Sood, the youth icon, has also taught me self-defense. I have seen him work and everything, but he looks like he is my age because of his sense of humour and both of them used to be with me and behave like me. I just randomly showed them a photo and I was talking about Ian Somerhalder, showing them who he is, and then all the childishness went away, and their brotherly protection kicked in. Vishal said that no, what is this, no boyfriend before 21. (laughs) He is so cute, you should see him and he makes this face, but Varun bhaiya is in support of me and everything, but just tell me. However, Vishal bhaiya is very protective.
