Season 13 of Khatron Ke Khiladi kicked off with a bang on July 15, captivating viewers with each episode's thrill. The show's popularity has surged since its inception, boasting a lineup of well-known personalities. Among them are the infamous frenemies from Bigg Boss 16, Shiv Thakare and Archana Gautam, who have now joined Rohit Shetty's adrenaline-pumping reality stunt show.
Their dynamic has been a topic of discussion since their time on Bigg Boss, extending even beyond the show's conclusion. Interestingly, their interactions on the sets of Khatron Ke Khiladi also made headlines, hinting at a heated off-screen conflict that seems to have impacted their on-screen performance.
Recently, Jio Cinema unveiled a promo for an upcoming episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, offering viewers a sneak peek into the drama ahead. In the promo, Rohit Shetty announces that the first duo to tackle the stunt is none other than Archana Gautam and Shiv Thakare. Curiosity piqued, Rohit inquires about Shiv's condition, to which Shiv responds, "I feel like I have pain in my chest." In an unexpected turn, Archana urges Rohit to swap her partner, explaining, "Change partner, sir. I won't be able to do the stunt. My mind will be fixated on something else." Rohit inquires, "Why?" Archana then cryptically discloses, "Something transpired off-camera that I cannot share in front of the camera." The promo concludes with this intriguing revelation.
The promo's caption reads, "This time, it wasn't danger but another contestant that left Archana in a daze. Watch #KhatronKeKhiladi, Sat-Sun at 10:30 pm, now streaming for free, exclusively on #JioCinema."
The question that arises is: What transpired between Archana and Shiv on the set of Khatron Ke Khiladi 13?
During an interview with Pinkvilla, Archana Gautam revealed, "Stunt work can lead to frustration and alter your state of mind. This happened with him. He was upset, and while he could have insulted me, he directed that towards my mother. He cursed my mother, who had done nothing. Rohit sir (Rohit Shetty) got wind of our conflict, intervened, and reconciled us. Now we're friends.
Shiv recently met me, and we've spoken. We used to communicate before as well, but fans recently claimed that Shiv and Archana were not friends, which isn't true. We are friends. We were friends in the 'Bigg Boss' house and remain so even afterward. Minor disagreements are par for the course."
Shiv Thakare also chimed in about their relationship, stating, "Where there's love, there are fights. We care about each other as friends, so disagreements are a natural part of it."
