Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 is all set to return with a brand-new season, and Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty will once again host the show. The contestants recently headed to Cape Town, South Africa, to shoot the stunt-based reality show. While there's still time for the show to go on-air, a few contestants from the show are already making headlines. Let's take a look. (Photo: Instagram)

Orry aka Orhan Awatramani, who is one of the confirmed contestants this season spoke about his participation. Speaking in his signature humourous style, Orry revealed he got a bikini wax as part of his preparation. Expressing his excitement, Orry said, “I am really looking forward to it. I am very excited; I was born that way. In fact, I am so excited that I got a bikini wax. That’s how excited I am.” When asked whether getting a bikini wax done was a way of facing fears before entering the stunt-based show, he replied, “Yes, it was a test of how much pain I can endure. Now I feel like electricity won’t hurt me, and if there’s a swimming task, I will probably swim smoothly.” (Photo: Instagram)

Stand-up comedian Harsh Gujral, who is also participating in KKK 15, shared a life update with his fans from Cape Town. He informed his fans that he would not be doing live shows for some time as he would be busy shooting for Khatron Ke Khiladi. Sharing an update about his next few days, Harsh posted on Instagram and wrote, “Life and Live Update. For the next few days, the live shows will be on pause because we’re heading into the madness of Khatron Ke Khiladi. Hopefully, we make you all proud this season and come back even stronger, crazier, and with a bang on stage. Till then, thank you for all the love, support, and constant encouragement. It truly means everything. Keep supporting, keep loving… and see you very soon at the live shows." (Photo: Instagram)

Gaurav Khanna and Farrhana Bhatt, who turned friends to foes during their Bigg Boss 19 journey, will now be seen together on KKK 15. Speaking about reuniting with Farrhana Bhatt, Gaurav told IANS, "It feels good. I am happy to see familiar faces. Outside the Bigg Boss environment, things are very different. I believe no person is inherently bad—situations bring out different reactions. I have met them outside, and it has always been pleasant." (Photo: Instagram)

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein fame Ruhaanika Dhawan, one of the youngest contestants this season on Khatron Ke Khiladi, is doing the stunt-based show right after completing her first-semester exams. Sharing her excitement, Ruhaanika says, “I have always been a student who has been very regular with school and academics. I come from a very academically inclined family, and even personally, I have always prioritised my studies alongside work. Right now, I’m pursuing my BBA degree, and I’m grateful that my college has been extremely supportive of my professional commitments, which has helped me manage both worlds smoothly. Honestly, Khatron Ke Khiladi could not have come at a better time. I have just completed my first-semester final exams, and there’s a one-month break before our internships begin, so I genuinely feel KKK will be my own version of an internship - just far more adventurous and thrilling!"

Rubina Dilaik and Jasmin Bhasin were also among the pairs from Bigg Boss whose friendship turned bitter, eventually making them rivals towards the end of the season. Recently, in an interview with FilmiBeat, Rubina clarified that she doesn't like to carry the baggage. She said, "I don't bring the baggage with me. In these 5 years, she has progressed so beautifully in her career. I've advanced so much in my life and career. Hum do log apni-apni jagahon par itne aage badh chuke hai, mujhe nahi lagta hai ki it matters to her what we were in Bigg Boss or what I was in Bigg Boss. All I see is a beautiful, strong woman growing and creating a name for herself, and I'm proud of that. With that, now we get an opportunity to re-write our story again. So, why not?"

After Shagun Sharma announced her participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, rumours about her exit from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi season 2 started doing the rounds. However, the actress dismissed the buzz and said, "I have been doing fiction shows for almost seven to eight years now and wanted to do something out of my comfort zone. Hence, I decided to take up the Khatron offer. No, I am not quitting Kyunki, I’ll just be taking a short break and will return to the show in the future. Ekta Kapoor (producer of Kyunki) has been very supportive.” (Photo: Instagram)

Karan Wahi and Rithvik Dhanjani’s friendship has stood the test of time. The two have managed to be thick friends over the years, and they will once again be seen competing against each other on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Speaking about it, Rithik shared with Tellychakkar, “I am not worried about Karan Wahi being with me. In fact, I am extremely happy because I have my closest friend beside me. We will support each other throughout the journey, move ahead together and most importantly, enjoy the entire experience." (Photo: Instagram)
