The upcoming season of the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 has already created massive buzz among fans. Hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty, the show recently began shooting in Cape Town, South Africa, with contestants sharing glimpses from the adventurous location on social media. However, ahead of the official premiere, the show has reportedly suffered a major setback.
According to recent reports, popular television stars Hina Khan and Sana Makbul were almost confirmed for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 but had to opt out at the last minute because of serious health concerns.
Why Did Hina Khan Leave Khatron Ke Khiladi 15?

Hina Khan was reportedly one of the strongest names being considered for the new season. The actress had allegedly completed formalities for the reality show before stepping away due to her ongoing cancer treatment.
The actress revealed in 2024 that she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and has since been undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Hina has regularly shared updates about her recovery journey with fans through social media, inspiring many with her positivity and determination.
Given the physically demanding nature of Khatron Ke Khiladi, reports suggest that her health condition made participation difficult this year.
Sana Makbul Opens Up About Liver Cirrhosis
Meanwhile, Sana Makbul also reportedly backed out of the show because of ongoing liver-related health complications. The Bigg Boss OTT winner recently revealed that she has been battling liver cirrhosis and had to prioritize recovery over work commitments.
During a recent interview, Sana clarified that many people wrongly assumed her illness was linked to alcohol consumption. However, she stated that she does not drink alcohol and was diagnosed during the early stages of the disease.
The actress further revealed that doctors found fluid accumulation in her stomach and warned that she might require a liver transplant if her condition did not improve within six months. Despite reportedly completing paperwork and discussions for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, Sana eventually decided not to participate because of her health.
