Rohit Shetty Says ‘Television Audience Has Made Me A Brand’ – Exclusive

If there’s one name synonymous with insane stunts, larger-than-life action and sheer entertainment, it’s Rohit Shetty no doubt. From his explosive car-flipping blockbusters to his ‘all-action’ personality, Shetty has made quite a mark in the entertainment industry. Not just Bollywood, the ace director is also a TV face as he has been hosting Khatron Ke Khiladi since years now. Can you even imagine the show without him? Who else could even handle snakes, heights and screaming celebs with humour and toughness?

Recently, in an exclusive interview with Zoom TV, Rohit Shetty claimed that him being known as a TV personality is all because of the love from the audience. “The television audience has made ‘Rohit Shetty’ a brand. They gave me a face. I didn’t do anything, I was simply making movies. People were enjoying that. In television, you can’t fool the audience,” he said.

Shetty further told us, “Those who love you will be there but there would be those too who won’t like you. Jo apko pasand karenge lekin vo zindagi bhar karenge. On television, you have to be the real way you are. Zabardasti ka chillam chilli karna zaruri nahin (no need to shout unneccasarily). Things can be tackled in a different way altogether. That’s what we all do.”

Rohit Shetty started hosting Khatron Ke Khiladi (KKK) in Season 5 and 6. In the 7th season, Arjun Kapoor took over but from the 8th season till the 14th (which recently concluded), Rohit Shetty has been coming back as the host. The 14th season was won by Karan Veer Mehra. In fact, Rohit Shetty also often appears on Bigg Boss as a special guest. Last Weekend Ka Vaar though, he replaced OG host Salman Khan as the latter was busy shooting for Sikandar in Hyderabad.
