I am disappointed being eliminated this early in the game - Archana Vijaya

Video jockey and host Archana Vijaya has become the third contestant from a line-up of 14 to get eliminated from stunt-based reality TV show “Khatron Ke Khiladi - Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns”.

In a four-week journey, Archana, who has hosted Indian Premiere League (IPL) and has appeared as a contestant on dance-based reality show “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa”, did manage to tackle stunts and overcome most of her fears.

Actors Harshad Arora and Sidharth Bhardwaj were previously ousted in the second and the third week, respectively.

Commenting on her elimination, Archana said, “Khatron Ke Khiladi was an exciting and unique opportunity that I grabbed, before leaping in for the ultimate stunt of life, which is marriage. I gave my best at every stage of the show and completed the stunts that I never thought I could have accomplished. Though I am disappointed on being eliminated this early in the game, I am proud of being able to perform every stunt that I was tasked with from the beginning. Most of all I am sad to leave these wonderful people behind, with whom I have shared an emotional rollercoaster ride like never before!”

The line-up of celebrity contestants who are left comprise actors Ashish Chowdhry, Hussain Kuwajerwala, Iqbal Khan, Sana Khan, Sagarika Ghatge, Rashami Desai, Asha Negi, Ridhi Dogra, the multi-faceted Meiyang Chang, Kabaddi star Rakesh Kumar and item girl Nathalia Kaur.

Pushing the boundaries of action, adventure and entertainment, the sixth season of the show, hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, first went on air on Colors Feb 7.
