During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Khatron Ke Khiladi host Rohit Shetty discussed the upcoming season of the reality show and its stunts. When asked if he feels fatigued about hosting the reality show, Rohit shared, "No, no. The kind of love we get for the show from the viewers, the kids, family audience. I'm blessed, and I take it as a responsibility that they love this show. There are rarely shows which have an identity. So much love I have got. I'm a director, I'm not a superstar, I'm not an actor but the kind of love they give, I'm blessed I think. I thank my audience. There has never been a single day when I thought that I don't want to shoot or do Khatron Ke Khiladi. Never!"
Rohit Shetty reveals designing stunts:
When asked about his involvement in designing the stunts for Khatron Ke Khiladi, the director of Golmaal shared, "Not the animal ones, not the simpler ones but the bigger ones are discussed. This time, it is unique because this time the scale is twice big than the previous seasons. New stunts are coming it making it bigger. I am consciously taking the decision to make it bigger. I would say the credit goes to the Endemol team and Colors, who are the producers of the show. It's almost shooting like a big action film. Though it is Television but the crew is like 200 people. More than 100 people in a foreign country and it's big, choppers are flying, and you don't see this in any other shows."

That is the new thing now everybody is doing that way whether it's us or it's Hollywood. It started from there. Making it grander and larger than life I think that's the way."
