Khatron Ke Khiladi Winners List of All Seasons [1 to 15]

Khatron Ke Khiladi has remained one of Indian television’s best-known stunt reality shows since its launch in 2008. Based on the Fear Factor format, the show puts celebrity contestants through height, water, animal, vehicle, endurance and fear-based challenges. Over the years, its hosts, international shooting locations and stunt formats have changed, but the basic competition has stayed the same: contestants must perform under pressure and survive eliminations to reach the finale.

Fourteen numbered seasons have been completed so far. Nethra Raghuraman became the first Khatron Ke Khiladi winner in 2008, while Karan Veer Mehra is the latest officially confirmed winner after taking the Season 14 title in 2024. Season 15 is currently airing in 2026, so its winner should not be treated as officially confirmed until the result is announced or telecast by the broadcaster.

Note: Season 15 is still airing as of 18 September 2026, so its winner and runner-up are shown as not officially announced.

The cast mixes first-time participants with former Khatron Ke Khiladi contestants.

Has the Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 winner been announced?

As of 18 September 2026, the season is still being telecast and the winner has not been officially announced by the broadcaster. The grand finale has reportedly been filmed, and several names have circulated online through leaks and fan speculation. Some pages have already listed a winner, but such claims should be treated as unconfirmed until Colors TV or JioHotstar officially reveals the result.

Khatron Ke Khiladi: Made in India Winner

Khatron Ke Khiladi: Made in India was a special spin-off that aired in 2020 and should not be counted as a regular numbered season. Nia Sharma won the spin-off, while Karan Wahi finished as runner-up. This is why the main winners list moves from Season 10 in 2020 to Season 11 in 2021 without treating Made in India as Season 11.

Who Has Hosted Khatron Ke Khiladi?

The show has had four main hosts across its numbered seasons. Akshay Kumar hosted Seasons 1, 2 and 4; Priyanka Chopra hosted Season 3; Arjun Kapoor hosted Season 7; and Rohit Shetty has hosted Seasons 5, 6 and 8 onward, including the current Season 15. Rohit Shetty is therefore the longest-serving host of the franchise.

Why Is There No Khatron Ke Khiladi Season Every Year?

The franchise has not followed a strict one-season-per-calendar-year schedule. There were gaps between Seasons 4 and 5, between Seasons 8 and 9, and again after Season 14. No numbered season aired in 2025, and the show returned with Season 15 in 2026.
