Mumbai, 26^th July, 2020:  A few months ago, 10 Jaanbaaz Khiladis set out on an adventure filled journey to face their biggest fears. After performing countless adrenaline-pumping stunts, fighting off the creepy crawlies, and unthinkable challenges, it is time for Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 10 to draw to a close. While every contestant had their share of thrill and life-altering experiences as they traversed a difficult path, the student number 1, Karishma Tanna, has emerged as the winner of this season. Contestants Karan Patel and Dharmesh Yelande were named first and second runners-up respectively. The season finale was studded with some power-packed stunts and performances by the finalists in the presence of host and action master Rohit Shetty.
