Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, the highly anticipated reality show, has just begun airing but is already making headlines. One of the contestants, Abhishek Kumar, known from Bigg Boss 17, faced his deepest fears in a gripping episode of Colors’ ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’.
In this intense episode, Abhishek Kumar, famous for his severe claustrophobia, was put to the test in a challenge designed to terrify even the bravest. As the challenge commenced, Abhishek braced himself before entering a daunting tear gas chamber. His task was to collect as many flags as possible within two minutes, all while battling the suffocating conditions and disorienting tear gas effects.
While I was in the tear gas chamber, I thought I’ll quit the show
With shaking hands, Abhishek stepped into the chamber. Time seemed to crawl as he fought against rising panic, reaching for the flags with determination. Fellow contestants watched in suspense, recalling his well-documented struggle with claustrophobia during ‘Bigg Boss 17’.
Midway through the challenge, Abhishek’s worst fears materialized. Overcome by the gas and his phobia, he doubled over, retching and gasping for air. It appeared he might surrender to the pressure. However, showcasing incredible resolve, he continued. As the final seconds ticked away, Abhishek emerged from the chamber victorious, clutching a collection of flags.
Abhishek Kumar said, “While I was in the tear gas chamber, I thought I’ll quit the show. Having said that, I knew I had to push through. The moment those doors closed, I felt breathless. The tear gas stung my eyes and throat, making it hard to breathe or see. When I started vomiting, I thought it was over for me. But then, I remembered all the times I’d let my fears hold me back, especially in Bigg Boss. I could hear the voices of those who doubted me, and I refused to let them be right. Those two minutes felt like two hours, but after walking out of that chamber, I felt reborn. I’ve spent years letting this fear control my choices, but not anymore. I’m grateful to Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 for that.”
