The note concluded: “I’m going to make mistakes, I will forgive myself and learn from them.”

The 46-year-old actress, who has two children Viaan and Samisha with Raj Kundra, added a sticker which read: “Made a mistake but it’s okay.”

Actor Eijaz Khan is a renowned name in the Hindi fiction show space. He has done serials like ‘Kkavyanjali’, ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and ‘Bhaskar Bharti’.

Last year, he participated in the fourteenth season of ‘Bigg Boss’ and quickly became one of the favourite contestants. He has shared how the popular show has affected his life as his fans got to know a more personal side of him when he participated in the reality show.

“It is one of the most popular platforms to showcase yourself. I think till then, people only knew a part of me that was only showcased by the media. In ‘Bigg Boss’, you can’t really act so I guess people got to know the real me,” he said.

As for how the reality show changed his career, he added: “I have mixed feelings about it because I don’t think it has really changed my career because I am not going to pursue reality television shows as a career option. I’ve always been an actor and I’ll always be an actor. I think the popularity is what it gives. I am very grateful for it. I think that is one thing that has made a difference.”

“The perception value does change when someone does a show like ‘Bigg Boss’. My understanding of the perception value is if people understand it and value it. I think people understood the real me and that has added a value to my perception,” he concluded.

In the upcoming episode of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’, host Rohit Shetty is going to bring a quiz-based ‘Pie on the Face’ challenge in which whosoever relates to the question will get a pie on their face.

Posing the very first question, Rohit gets right to the point, inquiring who is the most “boring” contestant out of the lot, followed by throwing Varun Sood off his game to know who takes the longest to get ready.

Varun strategically let’s Shweta Tiwari know that she lost by just a second, before sneakily smearing a pie on Divyanka Tripathi’s face.

‘Grand action master’ Rohit puts Rahul Vaidya on the spot asking him to smash a pie on the face of the person who has the most tricks up their sleeves, but that contestant just plays the fool for appearances.

Calling it a simple answer, Rahul wastes no time in giving his witty response, while smartly taking a jibe at the contestant by calling him a person with multiple faces.

The next target for the host’s questions is Abhinav Shukla, making him point out the person who flatters Rohit Shetty the most. After building up a little suspense, his answer has the rest of the contestants in splits!

At the end, Rohit Shetty asks Divyanka who has not received a pie on their face and the one thing we know, is no one walks away with a clean face.

‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ airs on COLORS.
