How excited are you to be a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 11?
I am super excited to be a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi. I have always been a huge fan of the show and I was in fact offered a couple of seasons ago, but due to prior work commitments, I could not take it up. This year seemed to be lucky when I was offered it again, and I knew I just had to take it up. I am someone who loves adventurous activities that give me a good adrenaline rush and this show is all about those kinds of thrills and chills that really excite me. So yes, I am eagerly looking forward to what this season of KKK has in store for me.
What is the strength that will help you win the show?
I don’t give up, and that has been my strength all in all. I am a fighter and I think battles can only be won with a fighting spirit, challenges can only be overcome with a will, and where there is a will there is a way to get through any thick or thin situation. So, throughout the show, I am going to keep up the fighting spirit through each and every stunt I am made to perform.
Amongst the lot, who is strong competition for you?
Everybody in this season is strong in their own way but for me more than competing with anyone else I am all set to compete with myself. I am going to aim at breaking my limitations and anxieties, becoming a better version of myself through the show and I am going to aim at being mentally stronger to tackle any obstacle that comes my way.
What will be your strategy?
I think the best strategy is to control oneself mentally. If you are not panicking and thinking about how to do the task beforehand, you have already won half the battle. Any sort of fear tends to put a barrier in one’s thinking process and I hope there will be no barriers between me and the win.
What are you scared of and which fear will you overcome?
I wouldn’t say it’s a phobia but seeing insects makes me feel gross and give me the chills. So, I am hoping I get more used to it during the show.
Have you followed previous seasons, what inspiration you took from them?
I haven’t followed full seasons but I have seen bits and pieces of various seasons in the past. Every time I got to see an aerial or water stunt, it truly excited me. The stunts with animals and insects gave me the shivers but I think that’s exactly what is needed to break my own limitations.
Any final message for fans
There is no message but only thankfulness that I have for my well-wishers. They have been my biggest cheerleaders and support systems through all my journeys to date, and them showering me with so much love for KKK now is truly overwhelming and the best gift I could ever ask for.
Good luck Sourabh!
