Ever since she has participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya has been impressing everyone with her performance in the reality show. The TV actress, who is best known for her role in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, had left everyone stunned when she pulled a crocodile by its tail for a stunt. And while it may seem that the actress does every task with much ease, there’s a lot that goes on in Divyanka’s mind. 

In an exclusive interview with Times Now Digital, Divyanka was asked what goes in her mind when she gears up to perform a stunt. In response to this, the actress gave a detailed explaination of the phases that she went through on Khatron Ke Khiladi 11.

“There were phases. Like the beginning phase, jaha maine socha tha main enjoy karaungi (I thought I will enjoy) and I will learn something out of it. And in the beginning, everything was going smooth. Fir ek aisa waqt tha jaha meri ankle injury aade aai (There also a came a time when my ankle injury became a hindrance) and I lost balance,” said Divyanka.

The actress added initially the major concern was about her own self. “Most of the times, mere dimaag mein ye fear nahi ho raha hota tha ki main snake ka saamna kaise kar paungi ya fir main koi particular stunt kitna difficult hai, uski difficulty level ke darne ke vajai mujhe zyaada dar ye lag raha hota tha ki kya meri injury ke kaaran meri body cope up kar paayegi,” she shared.

(Loose translation: I wasn’t used to be scared of how I will face a snake in a stunt or how difficult the stunt will be. Instead, I would get scared thinking about how my body will cope up because of my injury.)

Divyanka went on to add that her body gave up at times and also supported her many a times. It was a constant fight from within for the actress. “Ek taraf (On one hand) you have to keep your willpower high, (on the other), you have to stay motivated,” she stated.

That’s not all. The Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 contestant also revealed there were moments when it used to be freezing cold on the sets. Talking about one of the stunts she performed in the adventure-based reality show, Divyanka shed light on the stunt where they were given electric currents while they had to remove the flags.

The actress added that to continue the stunt while keeping concentration in place, in such extreme conditions, was a battle for her. However, she managed to achieve it and she feels doing stunts was meditative for her. The actress also called it a self-test.
