Actor Karan Wahi has spoken about the impact of the pellet gun task on Rohit Shetty's stunt show Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. In an interview with Zoom, Wahi said that after the first rubber bullet hit him, his mind went numb and he could not hear anyone. He added that host Rohit Shetty advised contestants to quit if they could not handle the pain, warning that the stunt could injure them in serious ways.
The task required four contestants to stand with their backs facing shooters who continuously fired rubber bullets. Gaurav Khanna had earlier shared images of bruises on his back. Banijay Asia CEO Deepika Dhar defended the show's safety protocols, telling Hindustan Times that all checks and safety measures were followed to the maximum at the international shooting location.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Hindustan Times and NDTV report the same quotes from Karan Wahi and provide similar accounts of the task and injuries. Hindustan Times includes the producer's defence of safety protocols, while NDTV focuses more on the contestants' pain and controversy. The coverage is broadly neutral-report in style, with no government angle. The key takeaway is that the show's safety measures are being questioned by fans even as the makers insist protocols were followed. Watch for whether the channel issues a statement or modifies future tasks.
