The Indian adaptation of ‘Fear Factor’, ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ has been airing since 2008 and completed its 14th season in 2024. Given its absence from television this year, there was speculation that the show may have been discontinued due to poor reception. However, the director’s statement assures fans that the program is still active.
Moreover, Rohit’s decision to announce the return of the show on the sets of ‘Bigg Boss’ strongly hints that ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ will also continue to air on Colors and JioHotstar. Rohit’s last theatrical release was ‘Singham Again’, starring Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff and others in lead roles.
‘Bigg Boss 19’ started on August 24 with the new theme of ‘Gharwal Ki Sarkar’. The theme states that the house will be run by the contestants like a democracy, and Bigg Boss will not interfere in everyday matters.
‘Bigg Boss 19’ will stream at 9 pm on JioHotstar and at 10:30 pm on Colors TV.
