Colors' âKhatron Ke Khiladi 13' has introduced new elements such as Red Fanda and putting a daunting spin to terrifying stunts, the 13th edition is a raging battle of fears fought by contestants from all walks of life. All the contestants gave their best shot, however, fear got the better of Anjum Fakih and she stood eliminated in the show's third week.
Anjum's journey began with a thrilling chopper-related stunt that fuelled her resolve to earn the crown of the ultimate khiladi. She was fortunate to have her friend Ruhi Chaturvedi by her side for most of the stunts in the premiere week. The two most nerve-wracking stunts they performed were the see-saw challenge and the car and trolley stunt. Although she couldn't give her best in the latter owing to anxiety, she voiced her take on battling it over the years. Anjum shone in the next stunt in which she bravely faced her fear of reptiles and snakes as she unlocked herself with keys hidden in boxes filled with phobia-inducing creatures. All the contestants and the host applauded her focus and composure with which she won this challenge. In her last water-based stunt on the show, Anjum was bested by Aishwarya Sharma. Throughout her tryst with the show, Anjum encountered various challenges that brought her commendable willpower to the spotlight.
