And I would be offered to me and then I will host it, not for one or two seasons but 8 seasons. I am thankful to the audience and God that it becomes so popular and grateful for the viewer's love that they are showing towards the show to date."

Rohit spilled beans about the contestants of the show. He stated. "In this season, 90 per cent of the contestants were new, whom I did not know earlier. There are many like Dino, who is a rapper who did the stunts very well. There is Rashmeet, who is a singer. And more, television actor Arjit, his journey in the show will be interesting to watch as how he was afraid of heights, then he gradually grows. Everyone is on their own journey. Just like it happens in the film that it starts off on a normal pace and then it will progress and you will get to see a lot of that in this season."
