Farrhana Bhatt has opened up about one of the most frightening moments of her reality television career. The actress, who is now affiliated with "Khatron Ke Khiladi 15", recently had a hard scorpion stunt performed on the show in her life and it was one of the most traumatising experiences of her life. The stunt required a lot of courage and physical endurance, Farrhana said that the experience went to her heart and left her crying after it was done.
The latest season of "Khatron Ke Khiladi" has been putting its celebrity contestants through a series of physically demanding and fear-inducing challenges. From dangerous creatures to painful and unpredictable tasks the contestants have had to overcome their personal fears while competing against one another. Farrhana's scorpion stunt seems to have been particularly difficult for the actress, who admitted that the memories of the task still give her chills.
Farrhana, who was highly popular after she appeared on Salman Khan-hosted "Bigg Boss 19", commented about her experience on social media. In a video she has posted on Instagram that’s posted on her account, she talked about what went through her mind before, during and after the terrifying task. She said she had gone to Cape Town knowing that the show may challenge her in ways she had never experienced before.
Farrhana said she was mentally prepared for fear, pain, physical challenges and situations that would push her out of her comfort zone. But she said the scorpion challenge was different from what she had anticipated. The actress said the daunting task was the toughest one for her, but she could still recall everything like she was a kid.
Farrhana said that the sensation of scorpions repeatedly stinging her was very difficult to bear. The physical pain and pressure of completing the challenge affected her emotionally, she said. She said she lost her calm at one point, but went on with the stunt and didn’t stop.
Farrhana’s achievement of the challenge was to show to herself that she could overcome fear. Even in spite of her extreme suffering and pain she was determined to do the job. She felt that if she remained that determined she would get that job done.
The experience was a thing that stayed with her forever, she said. The stunt still gives her chills and tears come to her eyes when she thinks about it. It’s her open admission that has opened up the eyes of contestants to how emotionally and psychologically stressful the process of entering the business of "Khatron Ke Khiladi" can be.
Farrhana's experience on the show is also significant because she is willing to overcome the fear of things, when she can. But reality shows that are based on stunts only tell us what happens at the end (as she tells it) but don’t tell us the story of the agonizing things contestants need to go through before they do.
Her description of the scorpion stunt has also fit in perfectly with the larger point of the show’s theme—facing fear but not simply avoiding it. Farrhana was in fact deeply disturbed and empowered by it. She believes it is a lasting emotional scar but also realizes she faced one of her greatest fears and she did go through it.
And the actress’s emotional reaction after the stunt shows courage isn’t all that brave. If you’re scared, overwhelmed or uncertain, then you are courageous. Farrhana’s experience on "Khatron Ke Khiladi 15" is likely to be one of the most emotional moments of her journey on the stunt-based reality show.
As the season goes on we’ll see how Farrhana handles the challenges and whether the experience strengthens her even more. For now her story of the scorpion stunt has given fans a better sense of just how desperate the challenges on "Khatron Ke Khiladi 15" can be.
