While we wonder what have these celebrities have in store for us in the show, the celebs wonder, what kind of surprises does Rohit Shetty has for them on the show. While the contestants are aware that they are going to have a tough time competing against each other, they are also excited to know what is going to be their first task. To warm up the session, Rohit, after introducing all the contestants, cracked some jokes and also had given TV’s favourite bahu Hina Khan a hypothetical situation and asked her to enact it with Ravi Dubey. The performance of the two was hilarious and entertaining.
The tasks for the first episode was to just collect the maximum flags and finish it as per the rules. You must be thinking, this is so easy, but no, the difficulty lies in where the flags are planted. While the 12 contestants were divided into four groups of three each and were asked to perform the same task at different locations, increasing the risk of performing it, some managed to finish the task while others finished it on time. But the winner has to be the one who finished the task on time. Woah! That sounds intense and scary, isn’t it? (ALSO READ: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8: Meet the three finalists of the show, view pics)
After building a lot of suspense, Rohit explained the first task, which was to be performed on a moving bus. The one who manages to get the maximum flags is the winner. He chose In the first task, Rohit chose Manveer, Shibani and Rithvik to perform the task. While Manveer scored 7 flags, Shibani and Rithvik scored 4 and 12 respectively, making Ritvik the winner and pushing Shibani to the danger zone.
For the next task, the contestants were blindfolded and taken to a new location from where one can view the beauty of Spain like never before. Here, the stunt was to be performed on a flat surface (hundreds of feet above) that was hanging from a crane. The task was allotted to Nia Sharma, Hina Khan and Shantanu Maheshwari. While Nia performed the task in 55 seconds, Hina Khan and Shantanu performed the task in 2 minutes and 4 minutes respectively. Ideally, Nia should have been the winner, but Hina won the task since Nia could not complete the task though she managed to be the fastest of the rest two. This leads Nia to the danger zone with Shibani Dandekar. Not only that, Nia also had a hand injury (she was profusely bleeding) while performing the task, as she fell from the surface. The fall was insane. Ouch! (ALSO READ: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8: Nia Sharma ends her fun-filled journey on the reality show with a heartfelt message – view pics)
While the third task was to collect flags from a Tiger cage, the last was to unlock the flag and drop it from the stand it has been hooked to. But before they could unlock they have to walk past an aggressive dog. The winner was the one who finishes the task in fewer seconds. While Geeta was a clear winner in the third task, Shiny Doshi cleverly managed to escape the dogs and unlocked the flag. So, this leaves Ravi Dubey and Lopamudra Raut in the danger zone.
While we have four contestants already in the danger zone in the very first episode, two – Karan Wahi and Monica Dogra are yet to compete against each other. This brings us to the end of the first episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi. Do not forget to come back tomorrow to watch KKK. Tomorrow, one contestant may have to head back home, bidding adieu to Spain. Until then, watch this space for new updates.
