The stunt-based reality series Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 has delivered its first major elimination barely a week after the season began. Vishal Aditya Singh has become the first contestant to leave the show after failing to win the elimination stunt. His exit has left several viewers disappointed, with many expressing a desire to see him return to Rohit Shetty-hosted show.
Vishal, Ruhaanika and Rubina enter the first elimination round
Vishal found himself among the bottom three contestants alongside Ruhaanika Dhawan and Rubina Dilaik. Before the elimination challenge, the contestants had to perform a demanding molten-wax stunt, where they were required to tolerate extreme heat while gathering as much wax as possible from their arms.
Harsh Gujral delivered the strongest performance in the task by collecting the maximum amount of wax, which earned him immunity. This left Vishal, Ruhaanika and Rubina to battle it out in the elimination stunt.
Snake stunt determines Vishal’s fate
The decisive challenge placed all three contestants inside a glass enclosure surrounded by snakes. They were shown images of various reptiles and had to correctly identify each one. The stunt tested their ability to recall the names of the reptiles while staying composed in the presence of live snakes.
Vishal correctly identified three snakes, whereas Ruhaanika managed to name four. Rubina performed the best by identifying five reptiles, thereby securing her position in the competition. With the lowest score, Vishal was eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.
Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 contestants
The current season features a varied group of contestants, including Rubina Dilaik, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, Jasmine Bhasin, Avinash Mishra, Ruhaanika Dhawan, Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Shagun Sharma and Orhan Awatramani, among others.
Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 premiered on August 1, 2026. The show airs on Colors TV, with episodes also available for streaming on JioHotstar.
