Shagun Sharma’s journey on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 may have been short, but the actor says the experience pushed her far beyond her comfort zone. Shagun was recently eliminated from the Rohit Shetty-hosted stunt-based reality show after losing the elimination stunt against Jasmine Bhasin. In an exclusive conversation with mid-day, she opened up about facing her fears, dealing with injuries and the unexpected after-effects of the show.

Speaking about her mindset before performing the dangerous stunts, Shagun said she focused on doing whatever she could and turning to her mother for support when things became overwhelming. “I was just thinking that I will do as much as I can. And if I can't, I'll talk to my mom,” she said, adding that her mother was extremely supportive. “And my mom was very supportive. She was like, Kittu, don't do it if you can't.”
