Earlier, in an official statement, the actor had revealed that his mother was against him joining the stunt-based reality 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. I think for any mother, watching her child step into something so unpredictable is never easy,” he shared.

Shagun calls out Gaurav for bullying

Meanwhile, Gaurav also made headlines after Shagun Sharma, in an interview with Filmygyan, claimed that he had 'bullied' her on the reality show. She said, "I think Gaurav Khanna is one person I would not want to meet."

"He was someone jinhone mujhe bahut bully kiya hai (who bullied me a lot). Let's say, for example, if five people performed a task and four of them aborted it, out of those four, he would pick on me the most. He would say, "Yeh toh chor deti hai," "She is weak," and “Don't do this”. I think reality space mein you do become a different version of yourself. So, I wouldn't say ki shayad woh real mein ekdum hi waise hain jaise unhone wahan behave kara ha (I don't know whether he is the same in real life too)," she added.

Apart from Gaurav Khanna, the show also features Avinash Mishra, Farhana Bhat, Shagun Sharma, Avika Gor, Orhan Awatramani (Orry), Harsh Gujral, Jasmin Bhasin, Rubina Dilaik, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, and Vishal Aditya Singh as contestants.
