Rohit Shetty admits he was worried about the audience’s reception of him as a host
Rohit Shetty who is currently hosting Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, sat for an exclusive interview with Times Now/ Telly Talk India right before the premiere of the show on July 27.
He shared his initial concerns about taking over as the host. After the previous seasons hosted by Akshay Kumar (2008) and Priyanka Chopra(2009), the show was shut down for a few years, and the format was completely changed.
“When I first hosted KKK, I was worried if the audience would accept me since it had been previously hosted by big stars and I was just a director”, Rohit Shetty added.
He worked hard, and the positive TRP results showed that the audience liked both him and the new format. Now, it has been 10 years since he started hosting the show.
