Abhishek on biggest fears in real life & career

When asked which is the biggest ‘khatra’ he’s taken in life, Abhishek Kumar said flying. Elaborating further, the ‘Udaariyaan’ actor said, “Jab mein first-time flight mein gaya woh ek phobia tha mereko… Aur flight mein main soch bhi nahi sakta tha – flight mein 2.5 hours band hu… I know how I travelled and overcame that fear.” (The first time I flew was the biggest risk I ever took. For 2.5 hours I was in the plane and feeling claustrophobic.)

Talking about the biggest ‘khatra’ in his career, the KKK 14 contestant says, “Ek phase aaya tha – woh khatra hi tha mera, I wasn’t able to manage myself for quite some time. It felt like time was slipping away and I wasn’t doing anything. Thankfully, it passed now.”

On being asked which Bigg Boss 17 co-contestant he would like to take to KKK given that Samarth Jurel backed out recently, Abhishek says, “Munawar Faruqui. I think he has a shoulder injury or there is some visa issue, else he would also have joined the show. it would have been more fun. I like him a lot, I like talking to him … he also video calls me and chats” He added, “Nahi toh Ankit bhai. He was also going to do KKK but he landed a show.”
