Abhishek Kumar talks about Karan Wahi
Abhishek Kumar is the first runner-up of Bigg Boss 17. He was one of the most loved contestants of the show and everyone wanted to him a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. He was offered the show in Bigg Boss 17 by Rohit Shetty himself. However, Abhishek had clarified that he does not want to do it. But he is finally doing now.
He spoke to BollywoodLife exclusively about what made him say yes finally. He said, “I didn’t want to do it first because I have claustrophobia and I have injury in my right hand because of which my holding power is less. We can overcome phobias and everyone is scared of something or the other but hand injury was my bigger concern. But the makers told me that every stunt is not the same and if you lose one you can cover up with the second one. So, I saw some tasks in the show and then Ravi Dubey sir, Ankit Gupta, Karan Wahi sir, Arjit Taneja who come in my gym spoke to me about this. They all told me that I will not get such an amazing experience anywhere and when Rohit Shetty is there then you will get the motivation. I want to overcome my phobia and Karan Wahi had told me once that he had phobia of dogs but now he has two pet dogs at home. So, if a person can change so much then why not. Also this is a big show. It is everyone’s dream and it is coming to me then how to say no.”

He further spoke about his favourites from previous seasons and said, “I haven’t seen Khatron Ke Khiladi much but had watched only the last season which had Aishwarya Sharma. But I would speak about Karan Wahi. When I was a kid my father used to say that I look like Karan Wahi. Dill Mill Gayyee we used to watch and whenever Karan came on-screen my father would say see you are on-screen. I used to tell my dad that Karan is so handsome and you are comparing him with me. But now, whenever Karan meets me, he says that you are my younger version. Ravi Dubey sir always supports me and he told me Khatron is a good experience. He told me to have fun and not to stress much.”
