Shantanu Maheshwari wins "Khatron Ke Ki Khiladi"

TV actor-choreographer Shantanu Maheshwari emerged as the winner of season eight of "Khatron Ke Khiladi" last night.

"Ever since I was young I was fascinated with stunts and challenging tasks and always wanted to try my hands at it. When 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' came my way, I grabbed the opportunity without any hesitation. I had fear of water and heights and this looked like perfect way to overcome my phobias.

"The whole journey was not only challenging but extremely fun for me. The mantra to perform better each time for me was to keep myself calm and focus all my energy only at task," he said in a statement.
