TV actor-choreographer Shantanu Maheshwari emerged as the winner of season eight of "Khatron Ke Khiladi" last night.

After enduring 15 weeks of 'Pain in Spain', fighting with tigers and snakes, performing daredevil stunts and braving multiple fears, Shantanu walked away with the winning title - defeating popular TV actors Ravi Dubey and Hina Khan. He won Rs 30 lakh and a car.

"Ever since I was young I was fascinated with stunts and challenging tasks and always wanted to try my hands at it. When 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' came my way, I grabbed the opportunity without any hesitation. I had fear of water and heights and this looked like perfect way to overcome my phobias.
 

"The whole journey was not only challenging but extremely fun for me. The mantra to perform better each time for me was to keep myself calm and focus all my energy only at task," he said in a statement.

Hosted by Rohit Shetty, the grand finale of the adventure reality show was attended by the team of "Golmaal 4" - Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Kunal Kemmu.

The show had celebrity contestants like Geeta Phogat, Hina, Nia Sharma, Monica Dogra, Lopamudra Raut, Shiny Doshi, Shibani Dandekar, Manveer Gurjar, Karan Wahi, Rithvik Dhanjani, and Ravi.
