Khatron Ke Khiladi 15: Actor Shagun Sharma accuses Gaurav Khanna of bullying her

Shagun Sharma accused Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 co-star Gaurav Khanna of bullying her during the reality show. The actor said he often singled her out during tasks and is someone she does not want to meet again.

In Short

• Shagun Sharma accused Gaurav Khanna of bullying on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15
• She said Gaurav singled her out and called her weak during tasks
• Shagun said that she is unsure if Gaurav's reality show behaviour reflects real life

Actor Shagun Sharma, in a recent interview, alleged that her Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 co-star Gaurav Khanna bullied her during the shoot. She was speaking about her experience on the stunt-based reality show and expressed that Gaurav is one person she would not want to meet again.

Shagun said Gaurav often singled her out during tasks. She also said that people can become a different version of themselves in a reality show setting. The 28-year-old added that she could not say whether he is the same in real life as he was on the show.

Speaking about the 44-year-old in an interview with Filmygyan, Shagun said, "I think Gaurav Khanna is one person I would not want to meet."

"He bullied me a lot. For example, if five people performed a task and four of them aborted it, out of those four, he would pick on me the most. He would say, 'She gives up', 'She is weak', and 'Don't do this'. I think in reality space, you do become a different version of yourself. So I would not say that he is exactly the same in real life as he behaved there," she added.

Gaurav Khanna in the news

Gaurav has also been in the news after his wife Akanksha Chamola spoke about their relationship on another reality show Lock Upp. Akanksha said they were getting divorced and had been living separately for a year. She also said there was no bitterness between them and that they still spoke to each other, but felt they were not right for each other as partners because they wanted different things in life.

Later in the show, Akanksha also said she is bisexual and had been in relationships with women before marrying Gaurav. When Gaurav entered the show as her visitor, Akanksha became teary-eyed on seeing him, and he clarified that they are not legally divorced.
