In a surprising turn of events on the popular adventure reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14, actor Ashish Mehrotra, known for his role as Anupama’s son, has been eliminated. The actor had left the successful TV serial Anupamaa to participate in this Colors TV reality show, hosted by the formidable Rohit Shetty. However, Ashish’s journey in the show came to an end earlier than expected, as he failed to make a significant impact during the high-stakes stunts.
A Tough Competition
During the elimination round, Ashish found himself competing against two strong contenders: Bigg Boss 17‘s Shalin Bhanot and The Kapil Sharma Show‘s Sumona Chakraborty. Before this final showdown, Rohit Shetty had given Ashish not one but two chances to secure his place in the competition, but unfortunately, he couldn’t capitalize on either.
The first challenge was an underwater stunt, where Ashish competed alongside Gashmeer Mahajani, Sumona Chakraborty, and Krishna Shroff. Gashmeer emerged victorious, while Krishna, Ashish, and Sumona were given another opportunity to prove their mettle. This time, the task was a test of strength and precision, where the contestants were tied to the legs of two horses with ropes and had to remove barriers on the field using hockey sticks. Krishna managed to clear five barriers, securing her safety and sending Ashish and Sumona to the elimination round, with Shalin also joining them.
The Final Stunt
The elimination stunt was as intense as it was nerve-wracking. The contestants were tasked with retrieving keys from around the necks of a snake and a dangerous iguana inside a cabinet. These keys were essential for unlocking another cabinet, where they had to retrieve additional keys tied to a live current. The challenge required not only courage but also speed and precision.
Ashish was the first to take on the challenge, followed by Sumona and finally Shalin. In the end, Rohit Shetty announced that Shalin Bhanot completed the task in the shortest time, clocking in at about four minutes. Sumona finished in five minutes, while Ashish took the longest, leading to his elimination from the show.
A Heartfelt Goodbye
Rohit Shetty, known for his tough yet fair demeanor, bid farewell to Ashish Mehrotra with a touching gesture. Despite Ashish’s elimination, Rohit honored the actor’s performance and his father’s name, as requested by Ashish at the start of the show. Rohit referred to him as “Ashish Kedar,” incorporating his father’s name as a mark of respect, and sent him off with a message of encouragement.
Ashish Mehrotra may have exited Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, but his journey on the show has left a lasting impression. Although his time was cut short, his courage and determination in the face of daunting challenges were evident throughout the competition. Fans who have followed his career from Anupamaa to Khatron Ke Khiladi will surely continue to support him in his future endeavors.
