In an interview with PTI, he revealed that he wanted to win the show for his son. "It feels great to have won the show. It was a long journey in Cape Town. When Rohit sir announced my name, I was extremely happy. I really wanted to win this one for Ayaan more than anything. He had told me that he wanted me to win the trophy. For a kid it's a big thing," the 38-year-old actor said.
Bijlani said when he was approached for the show's latest season, he had "doubts" and wasn't "too sure" if he wanted to take it up. "I was offered this (show) earlier as well but it never worked out because of the dates. I too wasn't that keen, I didn't know if I could do all of that. But I was told by my friends that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I must participate in the show for the experience.
"So this time when I was offered the show, I said I'll do it. I thought I'll take it one day at a time, face these challenges and do these stunts," he shared.
He was among the top six finalists besides fellow actors Divyanka Tripathi, Shweta Tiwari, Vishal Aditya Singh, singer Rahul Vaidya and TV personality Varun Sood. Bijlani has appeared on popular fictional shows like "Naagin", "Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi", "Miley Jab Hum Tum" and "Left Right Left".
