Cinema VinesRuhanika Dhawan, who first captured audiences as the young Ruhi in the hit drama "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein," has recently addressed rumours about a thigh injury that surfaced during her stint on the reality show "Khatron Ke Khiladi 15." Fans had noticed a bruise on the actress’s thigh and speculated it might have resulted from a stunt on the show. In a candid interview with HT City, Dhawan clarified that the injury was unrelated to the series and stemmed from a mishap at a press conference.
Speaking with a light‑hearted tone, Dhawan laughed off the speculation, stating, “No, this is not from Khatron shoot. You should have seen me throughout this press conference. I must have fallen at least 50 times. Minimum.” She added, “So even after the Khatron of my life, khatron hi chal raha hai,” underscoring that her bruises were a consequence of her frequent falls during the event rather than the reality show’s challenges.
Dhawan also reflected on her experience on "Khatron Ke Khiladi," describing it as an unprecedented adventure. She said the show offered a unique platform for audiences to see her authentic self, noting that the stunts forced her body into unfamiliar reactions that revealed her true personality. “A show like Khatron is something very cool where the audience will actually get to see me for me. Your real side comes out when you’re put into a stunt where your body does not know how to react. Your mind sort of freezes, so whatever is coming out is actually the real you,” she explained.
She highlighted the personal growth she experienced, stating that the show helped her become more comfortable with discomfort and fear. While she considers herself athletic and fitness‑savvy, Dhawan admitted that dealing with animals and creepy crawlies posed the toughest challenge for her. “I’ve always been into sports and fitness. But the animals and the creepy crawlies are something where my body reacts a lot. Heights and water are still things we’re exposed to with adventure sports, but creepy crawlies and big animals are completely new,” she said.
Beyond the physical trials, Dhawan credited the friendships forged during the show as one of her biggest takeaways. She singled out fellow contestants Rubina Dilaik, Jasmine Bhasin, and Orry, praising Rubina’s strength and the lessons she has learned from her. “Ruby because of the strong woman that she is, and I’ve learnt so much from her. The most learning I’ve taken back from someone has to be her,” she concluded.
