I’m done with reality shows for now: Sourabh Raaj Jain

Sourabh Raaj

Jain, who has dabbled in different fiction genres on television, is currently seen in the reality show

Khatron Ke Khiladi 11

(KKK). This happens to be Sourabh’s second reality outing; the actor previously participated in

Nach Baliye

with wife

Ridhima Jain

. However, Sourabh, after returning from Cape Town where he shot for

KKK

, has decided to stay away from reality shows now.

So, what prompted the actor to take this decision? He says, “I love doing fiction and the idea of stepping into a new character excites me. While reality shows give you an adrenaline rush, I feel that they have more fiction than reality. And there’s too much that’s in the hands of the makers. In fact, the lines of fair and unfair are often blurred and hence I am done with reality shows for now!”

Ask him if he experienced something during the shoot of KKK, and he says, “I would rather not get into the details, but honestly there’s a lot more to reality shows than what is shown on screen. There’s very little that is in an actor’s hands except to give it their best, and hence I would rather let my work speak for itself. I gave my 100 per cent to the stunts and what was required of me and I’m glad I did my best. Not once did I abort a task or receive a fear fanda. I was clear that I wouldn’t leave a task midway and give up.”

Sourabh

says, “For me, that’s what a thrill-based reality show is about — to perform tasks to the best of your ability and not give up.” The actor, who’s seen on television in the reruns of

Mahabharat

, playing

Lord Krishna

, is looking at getting back to work soon. “The pandemic has slowed down work for many as there’s a lot less content being made. However, this break has also made me realise that I only want to take up something that is really challenging and exciting. I am itching to face the camera in a new avatar, and hopefully, that will happen soon,” says the

Patiala Babes

actor.
