Television actor Avika Gor has spoken candidly about one of the most emotionally challenging moments she faced on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, revealing that a tear gas-based stunt brought back memories of her elimination from an earlier season.
Having previously competed in Khatron Ke Khiladi 9, Avika returned to the stunt-based reality show this year with greater confidence. However, she admitted that one particular challenge remained deeply personal because of her long-standing asthma.
Returning to the Show With More Confidence
Speaking about her second journey on the show, Avika said that while Khatron Ke Khiladi is always physically and mentally demanding, she found this season comparatively less intimidating than her first appearance.
According to the actor, the stunts she received this time did not make her feel like giving up. However, watching fellow contestants struggle with physically demanding tasks, injuries and emotional moments affected her deeply.
She explained that witnessing others face difficult situations was emotionally overwhelming, even when she herself was not performing.
Tear Gas Stunt Brought Back Old Memories
Despite feeling more prepared overall, Avika revealed that a tear gas-based stunt remained her biggest fear.
She recalled that a similar challenge during Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 resulted in her elimination, making the experience particularly difficult to revisit.
Avika shared that she has lived with asthma since childhood, and exercises involving tear gas are especially challenging because they place additional strain on breathing.
According to her, she understood even before attempting the stunt that her physical condition could limit her performance, regardless of how determined she was to complete the task.
Living With Asthma
Avika explained that respiratory challenges are something beyond her control.
She noted that tear gas stunts generally require strong lung capacity and sustained breathing, making them especially demanding for someone managing asthma.
Her comments highlighted that contestants often bring their own personal fears and health considerations into high-risk reality competitions.
Bonds Formed During the Competition
Beyond the stunts, Avika spoke warmly about the friendships she built during the season.
She said Jasmin Bhasin and Rubina Dilaik stood by her throughout the competition, offering encouragement during difficult moments.
She also appreciated the support of Rithvik Dhanjani and Karan Wahi, describing them as constant sources of positivity during the show.
