Farrhana Bhatt has shared a serious health scare from her time on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. The actress, who finished as a finalist on the Rohit Shetty-hosted show, said she suffered heavy bleeding and severe cramps after performing a helicopter stunt during the season’s first episode. The pain was so intense that she could barely stand and had to rely on painkillers daily to continue filming in Cape Town.
What Happened During the Helicopter Stunt
The first stunt of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 paired Farrhana Bhatt with Gaurav Khanna, her former rival from Bigg Boss 19. The task involved a helicopter and a river. Gaurav stayed in the chopper while Farrhana went down into the water, despite her fear of it . After the chopper dropped her into the river, Farrhana began to bleed heavily.
Speaking on Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist episode, Farrhana recalled the moment she returned to her hotel room. “After that I went to my hotel and I haven’t had cramps like that in my entire life. I could not even stand, I froze,” she said .
Doctor Said Stress Caused the Bleeding
Farrhana contacted her gynecologist, who told her the symptoms were caused by stress and the sudden physical and emotional pressure her body had experienced. The actress was worried about how she would perform the next day’s stunt while dealing with such severe pain.
“That was the first time when I had to take painkillers, two each day.”
The bleeding did not stop after she returned to India. Farrhana said the same bleeding happened again after three months. She consulted her doctor once more and was reportedly told that stress could be responsible for the symptoms.
“I can’t even explain the pain. I did not tell anyone about this, it is just my habit that even when something happens, I keep it to myself.”
A Pre-Existing Health Condition Made It Harder
Farrhana had a serious stomach problem before joining the show. In an earlier interview, she revealed that her doctor had clearly advised her not to do Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 that year. She decided to go ahead relying on medicines .
The shooting schedule in Cape Town was so busy that she could not even take her medicine on time. After returning to India, her condition worsened and she had to be admitted to the hospital. Her co-contestant Rubina Dilaik visited her in the hospital and took care of her on set, often asking if she had eaten or taken her medicine .
The Scorpion Stunt Left Her Traumatised
The helicopter stunt was not the only difficult moment. Farrhana also spoke about a scorpion stunt that she described as the most traumatising event of her life. She shared a reel on Instagram where she recalled every second of the task.
“It still gives me chills and tears in eyes, the feeling of scorpions continuously stinging me, the fear, the excruciating pain, and the moment when I completely lost my calm. Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to abort the stunt.”
She said she kept going because she wanted to finish the stunt and fight through it. “Some fears you conquer. Some experiences leave a scar. This one did both,” she added .
