There is no denying that doing a stunt-based show would test her limits, but Sumona Chakravarti was enthusiastic from the start. After spending two months in Romania shooting for Khatron Ke Khiladi season 14, she says it was an “exhilarating” adventure. “I knew what I was going for would not be easy. It always looked difficult, but we were in for a surprise. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You cannot pay money to experience it,” says the actor, who has been part of comedy shows for almost a decade.

Chakravarti describes the show as a “roller-coaster ride” that she never wanted to get off. KKK pushes the physical and mental capacity of a person. “I learnt how tenacious I really can be. I realised how much I can push my body and mind without falling apart. It was the best litmus test that I could ever have for myself,” says the actor, adding that during the stunts, she hoped to be physically fitter.
