TellyChakkar got in touch with Shiv and asked him if he broke down during a stunt and how he injured himself.

Did you cry while doing any stunts?

I have cried a lot and this has been the toughest journey for me until now, since the exception from the audience is so much and there are some things you have to face that I cannot even mention here, in the episode you will know, the promo you will see as here sadness, hurt is sold very well, I have learned a lot especially when you are down how to stay strong and I can face everything.

What can you tell me about your injury?

It's a small hurt and everyone has been hurt in some or the other way, I was hurt when I was doing a chopper stunt. The stunt was out of my expectation and I wanted to do it well, I completed the stunt and I had to jump in the water and my finger hit the ladder, but the team was so good, that the doctors and the ambulance took me and took such good care of me and if you trust the team then everything goes well.

After returning back have you met your Mom?  

Not yet, I will meet her now post the interviews, I will leave tomorrow.
