Ever since Bigg Boss 17 ended, there have been speculations that a few contestants from the Salman Khan-hosted show will participate in Rohit Shetty's stunt-reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. In the past few seasons, Rohit Shetty appeared on Bigg Boss grand finale week and even selected potential contenders from the Bigg Boss house. Now, as per the latest media reports, BB17 first runner-up Abhishek Kumar was offered the show, but he refused to be a part of the show.
Why did Abhishek Kumar refuse to do Khatron Ke Khiladi 14?
As Times Now Digital reported, Abhishek was approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi but backed out because of his fear. Abhishek isn't ready to face his worst nightmares. The report quoted a source who is closely related to the project, "He was honoured to be offered a spot on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. However, after much contemplation, he came to the realisation that he wasn't quite ready to face his fears on national television. He was scared to join KKK14, and that's why he turned down the offer."
