Gaurav Khanna leaves Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 on health grounds, describing it as a voluntary exit. Multiple reports say he decides to step away despite being able to complete an elimination stunt, but he believes continuing could risk worsening his condition. He conveys regret to fellow contestants and to host Rohit Shetty, with Shetty acknowledging the decision and stressing contestant well-being.
Across outlets, the central reason is persistent elbow pain that affects his ability to perform stunts. Free Press Journal reports that Khanna has ongoing discomfort and explains that certain stunt scenarios could trigger severe pain, leading him to be unable to use his right elbow and palm with full strength for days afterward. He also says doctors advise safe travel and possibly wearing braces. He reflects that he wanted to reach the finale, but that the timing and his recovery did not allow him to continue. Both accounts frame his exit as health-first rather than a performance-based decision.
