TellyChakkar got in touch with Rohit and asked him if Rohit Shetty had ever scolded him and did he feel out of place because of the age difference.
Did Rohit Shetty ever scold you if you went wrong during a task?
No, I have a great bond with him and we came in the industry together so I knew I wouldn’t get scolded, I didn’t give him a chance because when he used to make us understand the task I used to listen to him with patience and make sure I don’t make any mistake and when I used to perform the task I gave my hundred per cent and he only told me that when old school people who have debuted in the 90s, we have only mantra that is “Show must go on” and that is what I did. I told him on the show I would call him Rohit Sir, and told him because he was my mentor I felt odd but that is the show format and he is my mentor so I gave that respect.
Did anyone make you feel out of place because of the age difference, did they think you were old or out of place?
I am definitely old school and there is a difference between being an old person and an old school. I am not old as a human I was the youngest from the lot, but the one question that I am getting from the audience is how did I get along with everyone so well? I believe if you are old or whatever, it's very important for you to be young from your mind and everyone is my friend and Arjit at times used to say that as a senior I used to take advantage.
This time, the maximum contestants were girls. Did you get scared of anyone as a competitor?
Let me tell you something, except for my wife, I am not scared of anyone. Before I was leaving, I did see the previous seasons so I was scared of what type of stunts I would have to perform but then when I did the stunts, I never had the fear in spite of my injury. Everyone was very strong but Aishwarya was strongest and her focus used to always be on the stunts.
Well, there is no doubt that Rohit was a strong contestant and hadn’t his injury taken place he would have gone a long way in the show.
