Karanvir Mehra has emerged as the winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14, hosted by Rohit Shetty. After three months of intense stunts and competition, Karanvir claimed the trophy, defeating strong contenders like Gashmeer Mahajani and Krishna Shroff. Along with the winner’s title, Karanvir also walked away with ₹20 lakh in prize money and a brand-new Hyundai car.
However, during his journey, Karanvir faced tough competition from Asim Riaz, one of the most talked-about contestants of the season. Reflecting on his win and the rivalry with Asim, Karanvir shared some interesting insights in a recent interview.
Karanvir on Asim Riaz: “He Could Have Been the Winner”
During his interview, Karanvir mentioned that Asim Riaz was a talented contestant but got entangled in unnecessary issues. Karanvir stated, “Asim had the potential to win Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. If he had focused more on the game rather than getting involved in disputes, he could have been the one giving interviews with the trophy right now.”
Asim Riaz, known for his appearance on Bigg Boss, had an altercation with another contestant, Abhishek Kumar, and was eventually removed from the show due to his behavior towards Rohit Shetty. Karanvir emphasized the importance of staying grounded and said, “Fame can sometimes cloud judgment, and it’s the responsibility of friends and family to keep one grounded. Unfortunately, Asim got distracted.”
Karanvir’s Reaction to Winning the Trophy
Karanvir shared that when his name was announced as the winner by Rohit Shetty, he was completely shocked. “Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion. I almost fainted when Rohit sir called out my name!” He laughed while recalling the moment. “Winning Khatron Ke Khiladi was a dream come true, and I am still processing it.”
Karanvir also talked about his approach to the show, mentioning that while he hoped to win, he remained focused on each task, making sure to give his best. “Throughout the show, I kept telling myself to stay calm and perform every stunt with complete focus. I believe that my attitude of never giving up helped me win,” he said.
What’s Next for Karanvir?
With his newfound fame after winning Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Karanvir hinted at exciting future projects. He said, “Now that I’ve won, I know this trophy will open new doors for me. I’m getting more offers, and it’s a bit overwhelming to choose from them. But I will make sure to select roles that challenge me.”
Karanvir also joked about increasing his fees after the win, stating that the victory would definitely impact his career positively. When asked if he would consider participating in Bigg Boss 18, he laughed and said, “I always get offers for Bigg Boss, but I usually ask for a higher fee because I’m scared of living without my phone!”
Karanvir’s Journey in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14
Karanvir’s win wasn’t just about physical strength. His sense of humor and light-hearted nature won the audience’s hearts, making him a fan favorite. He credited his success to the lessons he learned from the show and the camaraderie he shared with fellow contestants.
While Gashmeer Mahajani was eliminated in third place during the finale, Karanvir’s biggest competition was Krishna Shroff. However, it was Karanvir’s perseverance and never-give-up attitude that earned him the title.
As Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 comes to an end, Karanvir is looking forward to exploring more opportunities in the entertainment industry. For now, he’s enjoying the sweet taste of victory and reflecting on his incredible journey on the show, which will remain a significant milestone in his career.
