Khatron Ke Khiladi has made me brave and wise! – Ridhi Dogra Vashisth

Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns is definitely tough. It is difficult. It requires a lot of guts to perform the daring stunts that the contestants have to come across each passing week. Now, when there is a stunt master like Rohit Shetty, it is surely not a cakewalk for them.

Surprisingly, it was Ridhi Dogra Vashisth who got eliminated in the sixth week of the new installment of Khatron Ke Khiladi.

In this chat with Ridhi, she speaks about her journey, stunts and much more!

Ridhi was one of the toughest competitors for the contestants of Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns. Cockroaches were the reason behind Ridhi’s elimination. She says, “It was just a bad day or rather a bad weekend for me. I was watching the episode this weekend and I went back in time thinking about the task. Actually, it was those cockroaches that annoyed me a lot and thus could not do well with the task. Though snakes were around my head and neck and I could hear them hissing, but the team would surely not let me die. So snakes were not a problem. Infact, after every task, crew members came in to remove all the insects from your body. A cockroach dogged his feet and he loudly said ‘Ouch’. I was so annoyed at that moment that I actually reverted saying, ‘Yea right! I have faced much more.’ I got that feeling of helplessness. I should have forgotten that and should have focused on the task, but that is okay. I have no regrets.”

All the stunts performed were absolutely amazing according to Ridhi. “Phata Poster Nikla Hero is my most favorite stunt. I actually felt like a bird. Even in bungee jumping you do not get this kind of feeling. They pulled me back in the sky and it was just like I am a bird. Just after that stunt, I ran towards Rohit Shetty sir and hugged him. It was like even after I get eliminated, I would have no regrets. That is exactly what happened with me (laughs). All other stunts were equally good. No matter how good or bad I must have performed, I always had a smile on my face after performing each stunt,” says Ridhi.

She further adds, “I am not an adventurous person. I was scared of scuba diving before taking up Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns. But I did it. I had a fear of heights and rash driving, but after that particular stunt, that fear too went away. Initially I was very nervous so much that I had tears in my eyes. But I think I did really well.”

When asked about her journey, she says, “My journey has been so fantastic that I have been telling everyone who comes my way to take up KKK if it comes their way. This show has made me braver and wiser and mentally stronger. No matter how good or bad I have performed, It is just a once in a lifetime experience. If someone like me can do well, anybody can do it. It was really very enriching and have taught me a lot.I have actually no fear in my life now.”

Who according to you was your toughest competitor? Says she, “Everyone in the show was a tough contender. You cannot say that if she/he is with me, I can do better than her/him. No one in the show is weak. Each of them is extremely strong, confident, powerful and positive.”

Ridhi’s bond with Asha Negi has come across as really well to the viewers. “Well, I should say that I missed everyone. But yes, Asha was really upset when I got evicted. She was like, ‘I will be all alone.’ She actually used to call me, send voice notes. I used to be like I am just with you and you have to give your best in each and every task.”

We wish Ridhi all the luck for her future endeavors!
