For the unversed, the stunt reality television show features a group of celebrities competing against each other in various challenging and dangerous stunts. The contestants are required to overcome their fears and complete the tasks assigned, with Rohit Shetty guiding them along the way. Over the past few days, several known names have confirmed their presence on the show. This season, the show will reportedly be held in South Africa.
Here's a list of confirmed contestants of Khatron Ke Khiladi 13.
Rohit Bose Roy
As one of the most popular names on Indian television, Rohit Bose Roy really needs no introduction. With a career that spans over three decades, the actor has impressed fans with his work in film and television. He has appeared in TV shows such as Viraasat, Swabhimaan, Kkusum, and Sanjivani, among others. Some of his best work in films includes LOC Kargil, Shootout At Lokhandwala, Fashion, and Kaabil.
Shiv Thakare
Shiv Thakare is no stranger to reality TV shows. The actor who rose to fame with shows such as MTV Roadies Rising, Marathi Bigg Boss Season 2 (winner) and Bigg Boss 16 (finalist), will also be seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. Shiv Thakare had even managed to impress Rohit Shetty when the director appeared on Bigg Boss 16 to promote Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. The aspiring actor already boasts a large fan following and is also known for his dancing skills.
Sheezan Khan
Television actor Sheezan Khan who has been the eye of the storm following the death of his co-star Tunisha Sharma will also be a part of the show. The actor who was arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of Tunisha Sharma and later released on bail has been allowed by a court in Maharashtra's Palghar district to travel abroad for work.
Sheezan Khan had recently approached the court to return his passport and permit him to travel abroad (Republic of South Africa) for nearly two months to participate in a popular reality show. The court ruled that Khan had a family to support and that travel was an important basic human right, as per a report by PTI.
Last year in December, Sheezan was taken into custody and remained in judicial custody until his release on bail from Thane Central Jail on March 5. The Vasai Court had granted bail to Sheezan on the condition of a ₹1 Lakh surety bond and had also directed him to submit his passport.
