Rashmeet Kaur’s Khatron Ke Khiladi stint has made a compelling case for the notion that an Indian reality TV offering can often redefine an artiste’s popularity. Kaur, a well-known name in the Bollywood music industry, confesses that the reaction to her commendable performance and daredevilry on the Rohit Shetty-hosted show has been overwhelming. “Most of the messages that I have received are from girls who’ve told me they wish to be fearless [like me]. I was always in my element while performing the stunts. Of course, I was scared. It’s not as simple as going to the park and walking on a rope when you’re told to do so from the 22nd floor. But, with this, I could establish the importance of physical fitness. I could set the example,” says the singer, who confesses that being a yoga and gymnastics practitioner has helped her cultivate the kind of mindset she always desired to have. 

“I am the kind of person who aims to learn skills, not someone who simply goes to the gym and works out. When you begin to pay attention to physical strength, your mental strength improves too. Your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being are connected,” says Kaur, adding that she’d receive a motivational message from her yoga teacher often during her time spent on the show.
