Bigg Boss 16 fame Shiv Thakare is ready to participate in the 13th season of the popular reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' which is hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty and is known for its adventure and stunt-based tasks, where celebrity contestants are bound to face their worst fears.
Shiv Thakare recently revealed the real reason for participating in the reality show, where according to a report published in Hindustan Times, he said, "My reason to be part of the show is to fulfill my dream of getting more work... I am not doing Khatron Ke Khiladi to overcome my fears. My aim is that I should get more work, fame, and connect with more people."
The Amravati-born star is also known for participating in MTV Roadies Rising, Bigg Boss Marathi 2, and was lately seen in Bigg Boss 16. He also revealed his ultimate goal when he said, "I want to be part of big films and do a few other reality shows. Whatever, I am today because of reality shows, so I will never leave an opportunity to do a reality show. Besides, I want to do films, to be seen on the big screen."
He further said, "There are a lot of other actors around. No one will launch Shiv Thakare but I want to be worthy enough for people to cast me in a film. I want to give my best as a performer in everything I do."
The actor also confessed to being indebted to Indian reality shows where he wants to be a popular name across the country. The TV personality said, "I believe if you act in 10 or 100 films, you are known by your characters. But for people to know you as a person, reality shows help you present your real self. I feel lucky to have done two Bigg Boss."
He further stated, "I started my career with zero, I had nothing. Going forward, my intention is to do good work and be grateful to everyone who helped me attain this fame."
'Khatron Ke Khiladi' plans to involve 14 celebrity contestants, where personalities including Daisy Shah, Rohit Bose Roy, Rashmeet Kaur, Dino James, Anjali Gautam, Arjit Taneja, Ruhi Chaturvedi, Anjum Fakih, Anjali Anand, Nyrraa M Banerji, Aishwarya Sharma, and model-reality star Soundous Moufakir will be participating alongside Shiv Thakare. The show will premiere in July on Colors TV.
