Khatron Ke Khiladi is an adaptation of the American television show
Fear Factor, where celebrities are made to face their fears through different stunts. Last season was hosted by actor Arjun Kapoor, who is now prepping for the release of
Half Girlfriend. "Arjun won't be able to host the show for the second time as his hands are full with three films," a spokesperson told news agency PTI.
Rohit Shetty had hosted the fifth and sixth season of the show. Akshay Kumar hosted season 1, 2 and 3 in a row while Priyanka Chopra hosted the third part. Last year, actor
Siddharth Shukla was named the winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi.
