Despite vertigo, Shantanu aced last weekend’s mid-air stunt in ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi: Pain in Spain’!
And the boy was impressive.
The Khatron boy – Shantanu Maheshwari, who is currently acing stunt after stunt on Khatron Ke Khiladi: Pain in Spain, was seen last weekend, jumping from plank to plank to collect 12 flags which were suspended in mid-air!
Shantanu, who suffers from vertigo (a sensation of feeling off balance and dizzy especially at high altitudes), still managed to complete the entire stunt, collecting all the 12 flags!
Speaking on the same a source close to the show said,”Shantanu was suspended mid-air for the stunt with rotating planks on which he had to jump to and fro to collect all the 12 flags. His shoes got very slippery at one point, which made it very tough when it came to jumping back and forth from plank to plank. ”
They continued, “Our team knew of his vertigo issue but it was impressive to watch him up there performing the stunt so well! The plank was rotating faster each time it moved, so it was more like a leap of faith for him, especially the first time to get the rhythm right with big strides and continuing that every time the rotation began!”
Shantanu ended up hurting his chin, knees and calf muscles due to all the diving from plank to plank, but maintained his focus so well, that he just didn’t let the imbalance get to him because of his vertigo at any point of time! That’s what honestly got him till the end of the stunt.
Actor Karan Wahi, who performed the stunt against Shantanu, complimented the boy as well on his sheer focus and unique way of completing the stunt without giving up!
