KKK 12 latest stunt goes viral

In the latest episode, contestants were seen completing a task in the midst of hungry lions. Clips of contestants Mohit Malik and Rajiv Adatia have surfaced on social media in which they were seen inside a circular cage made of hard iron with as many as six or more lions surrounding them. It won’t be difficult to imagine what would happen to the contestants had the cage not been there. It seems like the task involved them crossing a set path by rolling around in the cage as lions attacked from all sides.

Mohit, who is one of the promising constants this season, shared his experience of shooting for the stunt as he was surrounded by lions. On his Instagram, he shared several images from the time and wrote, “Never thought I would get a chance to encounter these beautiful species on a one-to-one basis..thank you #kkk12 for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity..the entire experience was surreal..facing 7 charging lions at my cage and at the same time focussing on completing my stunt was a challenge but a challenge I actually enjoyed..I think of us humans and these majestic creatures as ‘ONE’..we are all one..united by the forces of nature, complying by its laws..and there is nothing more beautiful than co-existing with these animals (sic).”

Rajiv struggles while battling lions

Rajiv, it seemed like, had a difficult time doing the stunt involving the lions. Even in the clipping shared on social media, one can get the feeling of fear and tension that the contestants must have gone through. Rajiv shared a clip from his stunt on Instagram and wrote, “I Always say “Never judge a book by its cover!” I focused my mind and wanted to complete the stunt! Being less than an inch away scared me to the core when I could even see their claws coming inside the cage! I had to balance myself right incase I fell inside and they clawed me! One of the scariest things I’ve done, but I’m so happy that I could do the stunt and win!!! I hope I made you all proud (sic).”
