Excited fans have been wanting to know the reality around the buzz. Hence, after he was announced as the winner, indianexpress.com threw some fan questions at him, including the news of his participation in KKK12. Answering the question, he said, “Pata nahi team ne bahar kya khichdi pakayi hai (I don’t know what the team has been up to outside). I really have no details. I think you will get to know about it before me,” he said with a smile. Well rightly said, sources have indeed confirmed with us that the comedian will be seen fighting his fears in the Rohit Shetty-hosted adventure reality show.
