After being a popular child actress, Ruhaanika Dhawan is now trying to transition from that image. This year, fans will get to see Ruhaanika Dhawan appear on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. In an interview with ANI, Ruhaanika spoke about her new project, saying, “I’m very happy to be back on screen. I want to break the stereotype that people have about me being a child artist on Indian television. This time, the audience will be witnessing a new, different side of me, the real me and I really am. I’m very much looking forward to the audience’s reaction to that.”

Speaking about being a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, the stunt reality show, Ruhaanika said, “I’ve always been this adrenaline junkie, and I’ve loved it. I’m someone who’s very up for things like these, but Khatron has certainly tested me in numerous ways. It is supposed to scare you, but that’s the beauty of it, and that’s where the magic takes me.” She further added, “I was hoping that people would appreciate me for the effort put into this show. It’s a reality show, and it is not scripted. The raw essence will be captured, and we’re doing stunts so you’re natural, you’re yourself. It’s all organic”

Ruhaanika also reflected on her beloved character of Ruhi. The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein star said, “I’ve always been this adrenaline junkie, and I’ve loved it. I’m someone who’s very up for things like these, but Khatron has certainly tested me in numerous ways. It is supposed to scare you, but that’s the beauty of it, and that’s where the magic takes me.”
