Actor Karan Veer Mehta lifts Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 trophy

The thrilling three-month journey of Khatron Ke Khiladi came to a close on Sunday evening at the finale as Karan Veer Mehra beat the other two finalists - Krishna Shroff and Gashmeer Mahajani. The final death-defying task was a combination of water, air with a helicopter twist thrown in there, with Karan registering the fastest time to finish it.

His win allowed Karan to walk home with not just the trophy but also a cash prize of ₹20 lakh as well as a brand new Hyundai Creta car. The finale saw some starry cameos as well with the likes of Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina, Bharti Singh, Nia Sharma and Kashmera Shah making appearances. The 14th season of Khatron Ke Khiladi was hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty and was shot in Romania.

Hours after his win, Karan rected to the triumph in an interview with the Times of India. He said, “More than the feeling that I might win the show, there was a hope that I could get the trophy. This feeling I think everyone had. Lekin jab announce hogaya na naam sab sunn hogaya (when it was announced, I went numb)… I had no clue what was happening around. Everything was in slow motion. I was almost going to faint when Rohit Shetty sir announced my name… Accha nahi lagta na KKK ka winner faint hota toh (It would not have looked good had the winner of KKK would have fainted).”
