Arjun performs tasks himself in Khatron Ke Khiladi-Kabhi Peeda Kabhi Keeda

Mumbai, Jan 24 (IBNS): Arjun Kapoor has approached Khatron Ke Khiladi-Kabhi Peeda Kabhi Keeda differently even as stepping into the shoes of a host for the very first time.

In the first episode itself Arjun will be seen participating in a task which required the actor to stick his head in a box full of killer bees and flies with his face smeared with sweet cream whilst attempting to eat strawberries. This ‘Strawbeeness’ would be the first of the many tasks involving creepy crawlies and slithering reptiles designed specifically to push the contestants to their limits in this season.

"I always believe actions speak louder than words, even when it comes to motivating my contestants/khiladi's," said Arjun Kapoor

Over the years Khatron Ke Khiladi has had many daring hosts who have motivated, supported the contestants when their feet trembled at the sight of the task in hand. Especially those involving insects, reptiles and other such arboreal creatures.

But Arjun took it to a whole new level as he became the first host who willingly offered to perform the task himself.

During the task, Arjun’s face became a pincushion for fly stings but he still continued to perform till he ate all the strawberries. On witnessing contestant Mahhi Vij quipped,”Aaj Kapoor khandaan kitna khush hoga..” leaving the others in splits!

Arjun wanted to motivate the contestants not just with his words but also with his actions. He also wanted to experience the adrenaline, the nervousness one experiences while put in such a precarious situation.
