After being one of the top finalists in Bigg Boss 11, Vikas Gupta decided to give Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 a try. Though KKK9 is a more stunt-based show, fans were really looking forward to his stint in the Rohit Shetty show. As per reports in DNA, the contestant suffered from a shoulder injury that he hid from the makers and was also one of the strongest contenders. A source told the publication, "Vikas was one of the top contenders on the show. But, he hid his shoulder injury from the makers and was performing all the stunts after taking painkiller injections that could have become lethal. Keeping the safety of the contestants in mind, the channel has booted him from the competition."

The producer has been asked to leave Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 just two weeks before the finale. Vikas also posted a video on Instagram recently with a long caption about how he is too scared of facing his mother, thanks to all his injuries. He wrote on Instagram, "This one has an epic clip @varunsood12 @rohitsuchanti06 @iroshniwadhwani I was remembering #Adishakti looking at all ur updates so was practising sadness emotion and @saachivj walked in and got worried that I was crying 🤪🤪 KKK has been such an amazing adventure . It has been like @playadishakti . I went through almost all the nine emotions here as well . Even though I wasn’t ready for it and yet went ahead to do it . Mums so angry about it . I have to say yes I am glad I did it . Made some amazing friends , did some coolest things . Learnt so much . Made mistakes to learn from and most importantly overcame some fears I never thought I could have. #argentina #khatronkekhiladi #vikasgupta #memories P.S. I am more afraid to meet mum than the pythons 🐍 in the task . 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤪🤪 [sic]"
