Mumbai, Maharashtra: In an exclusive conversation with IANS, actor Gaurav Khanna spoke about joining 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' as a conscious effort to step out of his comfort zone and reinvent himself. Known for playing varied roles on television, he said he avoids repeating similar characters and prefers experimenting with different formats and challenges. He added that he does not approach reality shows as a competition, but as a chance for personal growth and learning. Having earlier appeared on shows like 'Bigg Boss' and 'MasterChef', he sees such platforms as opportunities to observe, adapt and evolve rather than just win trophies. Gaurav acknowledged that the stunts in 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' will test his limits, but emphasized honesty, effort, and self-improvement over fear or image-building. He also expressed respect for host Rohit Shetty and said he looks forward to learning from him. Overall, he shared that his motivation is continuous growth and becoming a better version of himself, regardless of the outcome.

00:00Welcome to INS. Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:03And first of all, congratulations. You are taking a card in a fiction space, a strong identity, a lawyer, an
00:14audience, a solid character.
00:15Is this a comfort zone? Or do you have to diversify a brand value?
00:23I think this is a comfort zone and I am doing this. When I was doing a daily show, I
00:31didn't match any character with my previous show.
00:34If you look at it, I was doing a show with Anuj Kapadia in which I was a barbaric warrior,
00:42who was a suave character with Anuj Kapadia.
00:46So I always try to break the mold of the character which I have done initially.
00:50And I think that whenever I do something new, I will be different from the previous show.
00:54So when I started to do reality, my thought is that whatever I do, and if I get a job,
01:02why not?
01:03So when I got a call from the Khatradi, it was a big deal with Big Boss.
01:07And people didn't expect that it would be done.
01:09So I said that when I didn't expect that, I would be more fun to do it.
01:13That's why I want to do it and I want to see how it goes.
01:16Gun of Masterchef has won. Big Boss has won.
01:22I don't know. I never run for the trophies from the start.
01:31I start the race. I assess myself during the race.
01:36I try to figure out what I'm doing and what I'm doing.
01:40So I will take a step at a time in the future.
01:43Because you can't plan this show.
01:45You don't know what the stunts will be done, what the photo is, what the drawback is.
01:50So with every passing episode, I will learn a little more about myself.
01:54The trophy is a very distant thing.
01:56The trophy is a very distant thing.
01:58The trophy is never before going to the show or before going to the show.
02:01It's not that you think it's a popular face.
02:04The trophy will give us a trophy.
02:04No one will give us a gift.
02:06It's so many millions of crores in a show.
02:09So why would anyone lose their show just for a popular face?
02:13There are people who are the movie superstars.
02:16They don't play the film in many times.
02:18So I think everyone should think practically that it doesn't happen.
02:24But it's okay.
02:25Emotionally, I mean, I don't have a problem.
02:29It's fine.
02:30As long as I know what I'm doing, what I'm learning from the show, that is more important for me.
02:38As an established actor, which has already credibility, reality shows, how many options are and how necessary are you?
02:46Is it necessary for survival for any actor?
02:50It's not for survival for you.
02:52It's for growth for your growth.
02:54I feel like I've said that I've been doing a lot of times.
02:58And after a point, you want to do something new, something out of the box.
03:02If you want to live in the TV or media, what can you do?
03:06If you look at it, if you look at it, it's possible for some of the survival, for some of
03:10the recognition, for some of the audience.
03:12Because it's different.
03:13The reality show is very varied.
03:16It's different.
03:18So I think it's different from each zone.
03:21But for me, it's more of an experiment to know myself more as an actor.
03:25Because when I'm doing a reality show, subconsciously, the actor in my head, he sees a lot of characters and
03:32sees a lot of people.
03:33If there's something like that, then I will play and react.
03:37So I think the actor, who is subconsciously in my mind, doesn't always rest.
03:44In reality show, there isn't no character.
03:46I am, as Gaurav.
03:48So I think there's also a change.
03:51You also see new things and learn new things, which is very important for an actor.
03:56Yes.
03:57You say that reality shows, the actor's real personality is exposed.
04:01Yes.
04:02You are afraid that if the audience has become a person, you will also affect your own image.
04:10Yes.
04:11I was afraid that I was afraid that Big Boss had to be in Big Boss.
04:13Because this show was 30-40 days.
04:15Big Boss was 105 days and 24 hours of camera.
04:18So when I was not afraid of that, I was afraid of this.
04:22And you are afraid that you are afraid that it is different than me.
04:24It is fear that it is worse than a deal of stunts, fear that it is inhibitions.
04:27It's the fear that you haven't done anything.
04:30And the idea is that it was a different show.
04:32Big Boss was different than a show?
04:34Yes.
04:34People have liked it.
04:36The real person which is real person, which is the real personality,
04:39that is also the most valuable thing than my readers.
04:42So I think that the tension doesn't have any tension.
04:46Your personality quite composed and balanced is quite balanced.
04:50but in the street there is a fear of pressure and unpredictable
04:53So, do you think that you are not a fear of fear and you are a concepted image
05:00which you have tested on?
05:03I think that I didn't say that I'm not saying that I'm scared of
05:08it or that I don't have butterflies in my stomach if I do something new
05:12It's true that in my life, in my life, it's such a thing
05:16Some times it's more than a few times, many times it's more than a few times
05:18I think you will be working on some things.
05:22I will be working on some of the things I will do.
05:25But I will be real.
05:26I know that I can do some things and not.
05:30But I will try 100% and that's my whole idea.
05:35You have seen that after reality shows, actors typecasts.
05:40This is not aggressive or comedy or heroic.
05:42So you will be able to put a fixed perception in your life?
05:47If you put something in your life, we will try to get a fixed perception.
05:51We will try to get a fixed perception.
05:52In the big boss, people who were 3 times in the camera,
05:58there was no problem.
06:00I can't do it.
06:01I can't do it.
06:02I can't do it.
06:03I can't do it.
06:04I can't do it.
06:06I can't do it.
06:08I can't do it.
06:18I can't do it.
06:20I can't do it.
06:25I can't do it.
06:30I can't do it.
06:33I can't do it.
06:37And that's the whole idea.
06:37So I will do that. If I think that you have to do a confrontation, then I will do that.
06:41Because you have to select, you have to adapt at the times, at different situations.
06:47So that is difficult to say right now. It depends on the situation.
06:50You are in the career where you achieved success, stability and fanbase.
06:57So what does your fear of moving, relevance or hunger to limit yourself?
07:03I drive fear of not trying.
07:05So that's why I want to try every new thing.
07:08Because I have to do everything and everything.
07:12And I don't have to do anything.
07:14I don't have to do anything that I can do best at all.
07:17It may be that I don't have to do better than other things.
07:20But it's not that I will try not.
07:22And that's my whole idea.
07:26I was very good when he came to Big Boss.
07:29He was on the screen and we were in the house.
07:40And I am really looking forward to know him better.
07:44He is on the screen.
07:46And he has a lot of contestants.
07:47He is on the screen and he is on the screen.
07:51I have not seen them.
07:53I know that many people have done and many new people are doing.
07:57They are preparing for their preparation.
08:00So it will be fun.
08:02Because you are as good as your competition.
08:04So if the competition will be good, then I will have a good chance to improve it.
08:08Big Boss, we have seen that Farhana has said something to you.
08:11And now you have been trading.
08:13So how are you going to bond?
08:16I am very happy that Big Boss is coming from 19.
08:19And I am very happy that Farhana is coming from 19.
08:21Because all said and done, I don't think that a person is wrong.
08:25The situation is up and down.
08:27The person can react differently.
08:29But now it is very good to meet Big Boss.
08:33And she is a nice girl.
08:36Last thing, if people say that Gaurav Khanna is a strong actor,
08:43not a strong person,
08:45do you have to win the trophy after winning?
08:50No, I am happy. Of course.
08:53Of course, there is no doubt.
08:55But I don't think that I am going to think.
08:57I just want to know that I am going to win the show.
08:59I am going to win the show.
09:00I am going to win the show.
09:01I am going to win the show.
09:02I am going to win the show.
09:04Thank you so much.
