Vishal Aditya Singh has hit back at social media users who questioned his performance on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. The actor recently shared his medical reports on social media to prove that he had suffered a shoulder injury and was not using the pain as an excuse during a stunt on the Rohit Shetty-hosted reality show.
In a video on his Instagram handle, Vishal addressed those who had criticised him and began by saying, "Pratyaksh ko praman ki jarurat nahi padti hai." He then showed his medical documents, claiming that the reports were issued by doctors in Africa, where the show was filmed.
"Ye hai mera shoulder injury ka report jisko main post kar dunga. Aur Indian doctor ka nahi hai bhai ki jismein jhol jhaal ho sakta hai thoda bahot. Africa ke doctor ka hai," Vishal said.
The actor explained that he had previously spoken about experiencing shoulder pain during the stunt, but insisted that he was not trying to hide his fear or avoid performing. Responding directly to the criticism, he said, "Main koi bahana nahi bana raha tha ki mujhe shoulder ka pain hua hai aur main apna dar chhupa raha tha use."
Vishal also reminded viewers of his performance throughout the season and pointed out that he had already established himself as a strong contender. "Main finalist raha hoon," he said, referring to his track record and suggesting that viewers should consider his overall performance rather than judge him based on one stunt.
He then challenged his critics to attempt a stunt while dealing with a similar injury. "Bhai agar appreciate nahi kar sakte to kuch bhi na bolein, kyun? Kyunki ek kandha, ek shoulder toota hua hai aur ek theek hai. Usse koi stunt agar kar lega to Khatron Ke Khiladi jeetne ki prize money uska main aadha dunga. Lokhandwala mein aaiye, miliye, woh stunt karata hoon main," he said.
Vishal also appeared to take a dig at contestants from previous seasons while defending his journey on the show. He maintained that he had managed to prove himself despite competing against experienced contestants.
Towards the end of the video, the actor urged people to avoid unnecessary negativity and continue supporting him. He also clarified that he has no issue with fellow contestant Karan Wahi. Sharing the video, Vishal captioned it, "Phir bhai agar kisi ko kuchh lagta hai âtoh' lagate rahe, show apna number â1' hai."
