CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress / ITDC News Bhopal: Samarth Jurel has opted out of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 at the last moment. News18 Showsha has exclusively learnt that the former Udaariyaan actor will not be participating in Rohit Shetty’s show due to a leg injury.
“Yes, it is true. Samarth will not be leaving for Romania to participate in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. He was finalised as one of the contestants but he has opted out due to a leg injury,” a source close to the show’s production told us. However, when News18 Showsha tried to reach out to Samarth’s team, they refused to comment for now.
Since Samarth has decided not to participate in KKK 14, only 12 celebrities will be seen facing their worst fears in the show. These are – Abhishek Kumar, Shilpa Shinde, Asim Riaz, Sumona Chakraborty, Ashish Mehrotra, Krishna Shroff, Karanveer Mehra, Aditi Sharma, Shalin Bhanot, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Niyati Fatnani and Gashmeer Mahajani.
Samarth Jurel was one of the first five contestants who were confirmed for KKK 14. Previously, the actor issued a statement and expressed excitement to be a part of Rohit Shetty’s show.
“After the rollercoaster ride that was BIGG BOSS, I find myself once again at the doorstep of an extraordinary opportunity, one that will test the depths of my courage like never before. My journey on BIGG BOSS last year, taught me lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of adversity. However, Khatron Ke Khiladi presents an entirely different challenge – one that demands not only mental strength but also physical prowess. I can’t put the thrill of performing stunts in new adventure place in words. It’s a chance to redefine the boundaries of what I thought possible,” he said.
Meanwhile, Samarth was recently also seen in Bigg Boss 17. He entered Salman Khan’s show as a wild card contestant and was seen with his now-former-girlfriend, Isha Malviya. The two broke up earlier this month.
“Voh actually bohot badi opportunist hai. Uska aisa tha ki, koi bhi event ho raha hai ya koi bhi function ho raha hai toh mujhse baat karne lag jayegi. For example, Holi event tha, humari baat cheet ekdum band thi. Lekin ek din pehle se mujhse baat karne lag gayi ki tu aa raha hai na? Mereko bahaar tak iss liye le gayi kyuki paps khade the, taaki humari spotting ho jaaye. Pata chal jayega logo ko ki hum saath main hai,” he told Instant Bollywood recently while talking about his breakup with Isha.
