Model Deana Uppal, who was contesting in the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi — Darr Ka Blockbuster, was eliminated on Sunday.

The winner of Miss India UK 2012 entered the show on April 19 as a wild card contestant.

Commenting on her journey, Uppal said: “I had an amazing experience. I got to do things that I would have never been able to experience without being on the show.”

The show hosted by filmmaker Rohit Shetty helped her to partly overcome her fear of insects.

“A biggest fear of mine has always been of insects. In the show, I broke a record of staying inside a plastic bag for 11 minutes. No one has every stayed in for that long. So, I feel proud for overcoming that fear the most,” she said.

During the show, the 24-year-old befriended contestants Teejay Sidhu, Debina Bonnerjee and Gauhar Khan as well as Ajaz Khan, who came with her as another wild card entry.
