Actress Jasmine Bhasin has publicly called Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 host and filmmaker Rohit Shetty the 'Pookiest' — her term of endearment — after he stepped into the stunt zone himself to motivate her during a high-voltage challenge on the stunt-based reality show. The gesture, which saw Shetty personally take on the electric shocks meant for Bhasin, drew a heartfelt response from the actress on social media.

What Happened on the Show

During a recent episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, Jasmine Bhasin found herself frozen with fear while attempting a high-voltage stunt. In an unexpected move, host Rohit Shetty entered the stunt arena himself and performed the challenge to lead her by example — including enduring the electric shocks that come with it.

The moment visibly moved Bhasin, who thanked Shetty on camera during the episode as well. She described him as the 'ultimate action king' who has spent years mentoring contestants and pushing them beyond their perceived limits.

Jasmine's Emotional Instagram Post

On Sunday, 20 September, Bhasin shared a video of Shetty performing the stunt on her Instagram and accompanied it with a gratitude note. In her post, she wrote: '@itsrohitshetty Sir, you are truly the POOKIEST...You've always been the person pushing me to face my fears and reminding me that I'm stronger than I think I am. But this time, you literally took the shocks for me...That moment honestly touched my heart in a way I can't explain.'

She went on to add: 'This is my third season of KKK, and through all these years, you've always known when to push me, when to encourage me and, most importantly, when to simply have my back. You've made me feel supported and safe, even while pushing me to do things I never thought I could. And that means a lot to me. I'm sure every khiladi who has been in Khatron over the years will agree that you're surely our guiding light.'

Bhasin's History with Khatron Ke Khiladi

This marks Jasmine Bhasin's third season as a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi, making her one of the show's more experienced participants. Her long association with Shetty has evidently fostered a mentor-mentee dynamic that she says has helped her confront challenges she would not otherwise have attempted.

During the episode, she reflected on the significance of the moment: 'Getting a demo from Rohit Shetty sir himself was something I never imagined would happen...So when I was standing there, terrified and struggling to take that first step, and he actually came into the stunt zone and decided to lead by example.'

What's Next for KKK 15

The grand finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 has reportedly already been shot in Mumbai, signalling that the season is in its closing stages. With the finale in the can, audiences are expected to see the culmination of the season's high-stakes stunts and contestant journeys in the coming weeks.
