Arjun Kapoor To Return As Host Of Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 8

Arjun Kapoor who made his debut on small screen as the host of Khatron Ke Khiladi will return for the next season as well. Earlier, rumours were doing the rounds that Rohit Shetty will make a comeback on the show. However, the latest reports suggest that the Gunday actor has been roped in by the channel.

A source close to the makers of the show has revealed, “Colors, the channel the show airs on, was happy with Arjun and have talked to him about continuing as the host. Last year, when the season ended, Manisha Sharma, programming head, said, ‘He has been a surprise package and a superlative host.’ Arjun got a younger audience to the show, which has been missing in the previous seven seasons”.

“While Rohit and Akshay (Kumar) were more authoritative in their interaction with the contestants, Arjun was casual and friendly, which the producers feel is the direction they want to continue in. The TRPs were great and the newer audience also began warming to the action-based reality show”, said the source and added that the show will be shot in South Africa instead of Argentina.
