Gaurav Khanna, fresh off wins on Celebrity MasterChef India and Bigg Boss 19, is having a rough start on the physically demanding action reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. 

The 44-year-old actor sustained back injuries during a stunt on the Rohit Shetty-hosted show, which premiered on Colors TV on August 1.

Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, he shared the injuries in a video clip while taking off his shirt, also thanked Orry for filming it. 

He captioned the video, "I cud still feel this pain watching it on tv. Most painful experience ever. All 4 of us went through this guys... still hav these marks." 

Before the show started, Gaurav had revealed his mother was not happy about him signing up.

 "For her, Khatron Ke Khiladi felt even tougher because this isn't just mental pressure; it's physical as well. Her biggest concern was safety. She kept asking me what kind of stunts we'll be doing, how everything works, and whether it's all safe there," he said.

Meanwhile, Gaurav is also dealing with bullying accusations from co-contestant Shagun Sharma. 

In an interview with Filmygyan, she said, "I think Gaurav Khanna is one person I would not want to meet."

 She claimed he specifically targeted her when tasks were aborted, saying things like "Yeh toh chor deti hai" and "She is weak." She added that reality TV can bring out a different side of people, so she isn't sure if that's really who he is off-camera.

The show's contestant list also includes Avinash Mishra, Farhana Bhat, Avika Gor, Orry, Jasmin Bhasin, Rubina Dilaik, Karan Wahi and others.
