Rohit Shetty has responded to safety concerns over the latest season of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi after contestants described a painful rubber bullet task that left severe bruises on their backs. Speaking to the media, the show's host said the stunts are designed to challenge contestants and are conducted under strict supervision.
Contestants had earlier shared images of their injuries on social media, sparking a debate about the show's safety protocols. Shetty did not directly comment on the specific task but maintained that all stunts follow industry-standard safety measures.
The show, now in its 15th season, continues to air on weekend nights. No official statement has been issued by the channel regarding any change in stunt design.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is not the first time a reality show has faced scrutiny over contestant safety. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had issued advisories in 2022o2o and 2o21 reminding broadcasters to ensure participant welfare. Under the Cable Television Networks Rules 1994, channels must not broadcast content that endangers life or causes harm. The question now is whether the rubber-bullet task violates that rule. The Broadcast Audience Research Council does not track injury complaints, so viewer pressure or an official complaint to the ministry are the only routes to a formal review. The show's high TRP ratings mean the channel is unlikely to act unless regulatory action is threatened.
