"I had delivered it well...Rohit sir was happy": Harsh Gujral says comedy led him to 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15'
Mumbai, July 30
Stand-up comedian Harsh Gujral has wrapped his adventurous stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, describing it as a "high-level achievement."
Known for his quick wit and observational humour, Harsh traded the stage for high-octane stunts in Cape Town, South Africa, where the latest season of Rohit Shetty's reality show was filmed.
Reflecting on his journey, Harsh spoke to ANI and shared his experience.
"It was amazing as Khatron Ke Khiladi was a different experience. For the viewers, there is excitement and an adrenaline rush. But for those who are performing, I think it's a high-level achievement. My entire journey of 40 days was a new challenge. We would spend hours to prepare for the stunts," the comedian shared.
Harsh also spoke about his transition from entertaining audiences on the stage to facing his fears on the show.
"It has all happened because of comedy in my life, even my Khatron stint. Even in the last season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', when Bharti ma'am (Bharti Singh) came, everyone remembers her jokes and the humour. For me, seeing the contestants' reactions, the team's reactions, and even Rohit sir's (Rohit Shetty) reactions, I feel that I had delivered it well. They were happy with me," he added.
The comedian also spoke about his experience with other contestants, stating, "Before entering the show, we were thinking that we are mostly TV actors, how will we do? After going there, everyone supported each other a lot. When everyone was scared, we had to hold each other's hands. With the players, I shared a good bond with everyone like Orry, Rithvik Dhanjani, Karan Wahi, Avinash Mishra, Avika Gor, Jasmin Bhasin, and Shagun Sharma. There was a good bond with them. Small jokes kept going on. We ate food together and had lunch during the day. That bonding also became an emotional connection."
The latest season of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 15' is all set to air on August 1.

I'm a bit skeptical about stand-up comedians doing stunts, but Harsh proved himself. 'Khatron' used to be all about actors and models, but now it's refreshing to see different talents. Let's see if he can actually win though...
Honestly, these reality shows are just timepass for me. But Harsh is a genuine guy - I've seen his stand-up clips. The way he talks about holding hands with co-contestants... that's the real India right there. Bonding matters more than stunts. Good luck to him!
Another season, same formula. But credit where it's due - Harsh's journey from comedy clubs to Cape Town stunts is impressive. The fact that he mentions Bharti Singh's humour shows he respects the comedy legacy on this show.
Yaar, Harsh is such a relatable guy! First time watching a comedian on Khatron. His mention of Orry and Rithvik getting emotional bond... TV waale bhi human hote hain. Can't wait for 1st August! 🙌
I'm from Canada and watch this show sometimes. It's interesting how Indian entertainment blends so much humour into action shows. Harsh saying 'Rohit sir was happy' shows the respect culture there. Good luck to him!
