Previously, Rohit Shetty entered the Bigg Boss and got the finalists to perform daredevil tasks, and only Shalin Bhanot emerged victorious. Shetty offered him the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, which Shalin refused, raising quite a few eyebrows. He said that he was afraid of electric currents and reptiles, and would not be able to do the show. At this, Archana Gautam taunted him saying that he had disrespected the filmmaker. On the other hand, Shiv Thakare expressed his desire to be a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi, saying it was his childhood dream.
