Exclusive - From struggling with the painful tear gas stunt due to asthma to life as an expat in Thailand; Avika Gor on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, stunts and more

I was disappointed and wished I could have performed better, but I also knew that some things were simply beyond my control. What was in my control, I gave my 100 percent. For example, the first stunt I did with Rubina, the helicopter stunt, involved getting out of the helicopter without a harness, climbing onto the net and then climbing back while holding my entire body weight with my arm strength. A few years or even a few months ago, I may not have been able to do that because I wasn’t physically as fit. This time, I had decided that if I was going on the show, I would give 100 percent within my capacity.

For example, the first stunt I did with Rubina, the helicopter stunt, involved getting out of the helicopter without a harness, climbing onto the net and then climbing back while holding my entire body weight with my arm strength. I did all of that, and it made me really proud of myself. A few years or even a few months ago, I may not have been able to do that because I wasn’t physically as fit. This time, I had decided that if I was going on the show, I would give 100 percent within my capacity. But tear gas is not within my capacity. What can I do about my lungs? (Photo: Instagram)
