Tell us about your experience in Khatron ke Khiladi.

It was really nice, it was very challenging actually. I never thought I will do things like these. I did it for my personal experience and I made the most of it.

Who according to you was the most ‘fattu’ and the bravest of all the participants?

Ahh.. Fattu was definitely me, I think I am a bag of fears. Before entering the show, I knew I will be scared of everything and I was scared of everything. Yet, I attempted all the stunts and worked on my fears. Bravest…everyone was strong in some sense like some people were mentally strong and some physically. But yes, from Ranveer we never expected that he will be so fabulous. He used to say I can’t do this, I can’t do that. He was fun and came out as a surprise.

Which one was a difficult reality show for you- Bigg Boss or KKK?

These two shows were very different, Bigg Boss was mentally tough and Khatron Ke Khiladi was both mentally and physically challenging.

Would you ever recommend your younger sister Nigaar Khan to participate in these shows?

Well, she doesn’t work on my recommendations, she has a mind of her own. Nigaar is very particular about what all she does.

Are you in touch with Tanisha Mukherjee post Bigg Boss or any other contestant?

Not with Tanisha but I am in touch with Sophia, Kushal, Apoorva and Shilpa. I meet Khatron Ke.. Contestants more often than these people.

Describe Kushal according to you.

He is a family guy, loves his family, he is a mix of understanding, love and care. Kushal is my best friend!

Are there any plans of marriage?

No, please don’t ask me that question. It’s not on my mind right now!

You are a family person and quiet vocal about your feelings for them, how much they mean to you?

My family is my world in all ways, they have supported me in what all I have done. They love me unconditionally, I don’t think I can function without them!

Who is your support system in your family?

In Nigaar I can confide anything as she is my best friend, my elder sister is like a mother figure and for another sister I have lot of respect, I fear a little bit from her! My brother is like my baby, I share everything with him.

Any plans to do a daily soap as a lead?

I haven’t thought about that, I am not going to be active on TV for a long time.

We hear that you threatened Colors channel to quit KKK when Aijaz sang a song for you on the show. Is it true?

No, not at all.

You knew from the very beginning that he will enter the show, were you uncomfortable?

I don’t want to talk about things which are of no importance to me!

Tell us about your role in Fever movie which is your first one as a main lead.

I can’t really it’s not up for release. It’s my first lead role, will talk about it when time is right.

Were you in second thoughts to do this film opposite Rajeev Khandelwal after winning Bigg Boss 7?

It’s a rubbish rumor.

What’s next on your plate Gauhar?

I completed fever recently, I am looking for work that sets me apart. I want to be content with what I take up, I want to do quality work. As of now, I haven’t signed anything. I will continue doing live shows in India and abroad.

What message would you like to give to yours and ‘Gaushal’ fans?

I want to thank each and everyone for giving me unconditional love and support. I want to request my fans to keep showering their love on me and Inshallah I will keep entertaining them.
