Shiv Thakare on being a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 13; says, his mother is scared of his participation in the show
Shiv Thakare who won the hearts of the audience with his stint in Bigg Boss 16, is all set to be back on the small screen with Rohit Shetty’s Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. The actor recently visited the Siddhivinayak temple today to offer prayers to the lord and seek blessings ahead of the show.
Talking about it in a recent interview. Shiv shared, “Koi bhi nayi cheez hum karte hai toh hum Bappa ko milke hi karte hain start. Mein akela hi nahi jitne log hai woh nayi shuruat Bappa ko milne ke baad hi karte hai. Mein Bappa ki wajah se hi yahan tak pahuncha hun. Bigg Boss ho, Roadies ho, ya ab Khatron Ke Khiladi bhi Bappa ka blessing hai mujhe par. (Whenever I start anything new, it’s always with Bappa. Not just me, others do the same. It’s due to Bappa’s blessings that I have reached so far be it Bigg Boss, Roadies or KKK). That’s why people love me. I always say money is not as important as blessings and I always get it from here.”
Shiv revealed that his mother got worried when she first heard about his participation. “I am meeting Bappa to take care of me from keede makode saanp vaanp. My aai (mother) is scared. She asked me why I am going to a show where there are keede makaude. I told her not to worry. I have met Bappa and asked him to grant me the strength to fight like a warrior.”
Talking about his preparation in the show, Shiv said, “Jaise exam ki taiyaari kabhi nahi hoti last moment tak waise hi Khatron Ke Khiladi ki taiyaari nahi hogi. I am excited yet nervous. Rohit Shetty is going to be like a Principal. Contestants share a great bond with him and he always motivates them for the tasks.”
He added, “I am going outside India for the first time, that too for a show. I used to watch this show at home and now I am a part of it, it’s a big thing for me.” Shiv also expressed his gratitude to his fans for loving him unconditionally.
