Arjun Bijlani lifted the trophy in the 11th season of the reality show, 'Khatron Ke Khiladi'. He spoke to mid-day digital exclusively a few days back and talked about his victory, how he called the finale stunt as an action scene straight out of a Hindi film climax, and what made Divyanka Tripathi a strong competitor on the show. In the same interaction, he stated how Vishal Aditya Singh and Nikki Tamboli could have performed better and the qualities of Rohit Shetty that make him an ideal host.
While talking about Shetty, the actor quipped, "He's a great mentor I think. We all have great respect for him, he pushes you, makes you rediscover yourself as a person while you're on that show and that's what makes him a great host, you know. He's also a lot of fun, has a great sense of comic timing. He's also like a good friend, you know what I mean, which is a great combination. Sometimes you're a mentor, sometimes you're a friend, sometimes you're a teacher. And you're having a lot of fun on the sets as well."
He also revealed whose performance could've been better on the show. "I think Vishal could've done much better. If he knew how to swim, he could've been one of the contenders who could've won the show, because otherwise he was very good. His only drawback was he didn't swim. I think Nikki is a strong headed girl but she was fearing so many things. I think she could've done well on the show. And I think rest everyone did fairly well. It's a show of luck also sometimes, it's a show of timing. It's not like every time everyone got out because they didn't do a stunt. Sometimes the timing was wrong so I think that also plays an important role."
