Avinash Mishra defeated fellow top 3 finalists Rithvik Dhanjani and Orry to lift the Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 trophy. Along with the title, Avinash won prize money of Rs 20 lakh, a trip to Europe and a car. The top 3 finalists were also given a bike.

Talking about his win, Avinash said in a statement, “Winning Khatron Ke Khiladi feels special because I thought I signed up for the show with a point to prove, but along the way, the person I ended up proving it to, was myself. I have spent years being associated with television and, yes, with being the good-looking guy on screen. I enjoyed that journey, but I also knew there was so much more I wanted people to see in me. This show gave me the chance to put everything else aside and literally let my actions speak.”

He continued, “Most of this journey was actually about the mind. You can prepare yourself physically, but when you are standing at the edge of something terrifying, there is no performance left – it is just you, your fear and the decision you make in that moment. I had to learn to tune out the noise, trust myself, and keep going. There were days when I surprised myself, and those are the moments I will cherish. And to win the show after everything I have discovered about myself here is the kind of ending I could only have hoped for. I came to Khatron Ke Khiladi wanting to test myself; I am leaving with a belief in myself that I didn’t have before. That, for me, is the biggest victory.”

Right from the beginning, Avinash Mishra emerged as one of the strongest performers on the show. In fact, he did not abort a single task throughout the season and also won the Swift Immunity Jacket, which gave him the power to either save a contestant from elimination or opt out of performing a task. Despite his consistent performance in the stunts, Avinash faced stiff competition from Farrhana Bhatt and Orry from the new batch, as well as returning contestants Karan Wahi and Rithvik Dhanjani.
