I was on board in a flash when Rohit Shetty asked me to: Farah Khan on hosting 'Khatron Ke Khiladi - Made In India'

After Khatron Ke Khiladi 10 came to an end, Colors TV released the first promo of Khatron Ke Khiladi Made In India that will be a reloaded version with seven ex-contestants returning for the all-new version. In the promo released by the channel, Aly Goni, Nia Sharma, Jasmin Bhasin, Jay Bhanushali, Harsh Limbachiya, Karan Wahi and Rithvik Dhanjani were seen talking about the 'shudh Bollywood stunts' that they will be seen doing in the show. But what took everyone's attention was when 'Bollywood Queen' Farah Khan said she will be joining 'headmaster' Rohit Shetty in hosting the show. 

Though the choreographer-filmmaker revealed that it was not her comfort zone, she told a leading daily “The channel warned me I couldn’t feel sorry for the contestants, most of whom I know from before, and tell them they could abort the task whenever they were in pain. But the fact is that I’m the first host on the show who was actually scared.”

She revealed some of the stunts made her worry and said, “For instance, when a car goes underwater, it can be really scary. And it would take a lot of money to make me get anywhere near creepy crawlies.”

Farah, who will be stepping in the shoes of Rohit, never thought of doing something like this as she said, “But as the only woman director who’s had a lot of action in her films and a reality show junkie, I was on board in a flash when Rohit asked me to.” She added, “Unlike Rohit, who can perform the stunts he gives the contestants, I was a funny host who kept spirits high.”

She expressed her happiness of coming on sets after a long time and said, “The joy of being on a set is that you meet people and hug them, but here I was spraying everyone’s hands with sanitisers like it was puja ka prasad and screaming at them to wear masks. Even the food that I took along had to be sent to individual vanity vans.” She further added, “I’ve never seen so many people out on the streets; it’s like a party out there. If people who don’t need to venture out, stay home, people who have to work can step out. I was adamant about not stepping out for any reason apart from work.”
