With ‘Bigg Boss 19’ crowning Gaurav Khanna as the winner, Farrhana Bhatt as the 1st runner-up and Pranit More as the 2nd runner-up, fans are already missing the high-voltage drama and their favourite contestants. Interestingly, many beloved Bigg Boss stars have found a second home in Rohit Shetty’s stunt-based reality show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi.’ Here’s a look at Bigg Boss contestants who went on to make a mark on ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi.’

Abhishek Kumar, the runner-up of ‘Bigg Boss 17,’ quickly became one of television’s most-loved reality stars. After showcasing strength and emotional resilience in the BB house, he joined Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, where he impressed viewers with his fearlessness and grit. Abhishek tackled some of the season’s toughest stunts, earning praise from host Rohit Shetty. Abhishek can be now seen in the season 3 of ‘Laughter Chefs.’

Shiv Thakare, the first runner-up of ‘Bigg Boss 16,’ entered ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 13’ with an unshakeable fanbase and a reputation for fearlessness. He was one of the finalists of the show. Already a winner of ‘Bigg Boss Marathi,’ Shiv blended agility, passion and discipline throughout the season. His remarkable performance also earned repeated praise from Rohit Shetty.

Pratik Sehajpal, who became the first runner-up of ‘Bigg Boss 15,’ is known for his intensity and never-give-up attitude. He entered ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 12’ soon after BB and delivered steady performances despite some of the most intimidating stunts. Before these shows, Pratik also appeared in ‘Ace of Space’ and ‘Splitsvilla,’ where he built a strong youth fanbase. He also played the lead role in ‘Naagin 6,’ marking his television debut after the reality shows.

Rubina Dilaik, the powerful and composed winner of ‘Bigg Boss 14,’ carried the same determination into ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 12.’ Her journey on the show proved her versatility as she aced difficult tasks with both strategy and strength. Rubina’s fanbase admired how she performed every stunt with calm confidence. She also did ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10’, ‘Entertainment Ki Raat Housefull’, and ‘Laughter Chefs 2.’ She has also recently won the show ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’

Nikki Tamboli became a household name after her fiery and strategic journey in ‘Bigg Boss 14,’ where she quickly emerged as a fan favourite. Riding high on her popularity, she joined ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’ and impressed viewers with her fearlessness and determination. While she didn’t make it to the finale, Nikki surprised many with her strong performances. She was recently in ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ where she emerged as the 1st runner up.

Asim Riaz rose to massive fame as the first runner-up of ‘Bigg Boss 13.’ His popularity earned him a place in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, but his stint became one of the most talked-about in KKK history. Asim was involved in heated arguments with contestants and crew, which eventually led to his removal from the show. He continues to focus on his personal projects and social media presence while maintaining the reputation he earned as the runner-up of ‘Big Boss.’

Shilpa Shinde, who won ‘Bigg Boss 11’ with her unfiltered charm and bold personality, later joined Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 as a contestant. Her journey ended after a few weeks in the show. The actress got into arguments with contestants in the show after insisting that, as a “senior”, she should perform tasks before others. She was also later seen in ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 10.’

Karishma Tanna, runner-up of ‘Bigg Boss 8,’ brought her trademark confidence to Khatron Ke Khiladi 10 and delivered one of the strongest seasons any contestant has ever played. Her performance was so consistently powerful that she ultimately won the show. Karishma has also stood out in reality shows like ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ and ‘Nach Baliye,’ making her one of Indian television’s most versatile performers.

Tanishaa Mukerji won hearts with her grace and composure in ‘Bigg Boss 7,’ finishing as one of the standout contestants of the season. Her popularity earned her a spot on ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 7,’ where she embraced daredevil stunts with surprising courage. She was also seen later in ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 11.’
