The Story in Brief
The latest episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 has drawn fierce backlash after contestants had to collect hot molten wax on their bare hands for 10 minutes to avoid elimination, Hindustan Times reports. Rubina Dilaik and Ruhaanika Dhawan were seen crying in pain, with Dhawan screaming that her 'soul has come out'. Viewer called the task 'cruel and dehumanising' and accused the show of sadism.
Last week, the show faced similar criticism for a 'Pain Auction' stunt that used rubber bullets, leaving contestants injured. The reality show, broadcast on Colors TV and streamed on JioHotstar, continues to air new episodes on weekends.
The Indian Opinion
Yes, the show is titled 'Fear Factor' and contestants sign up for extreme tasks. But there is a difference between facing a phobia and enduring deliberate physical pain on live television. The rubber bullets and now molten wax stunts feel less like overcoming fear and more like a spectacle of suffering. The real test is whether the channel and producers will listen to the outcry or double down in the name of ratings.
