Divyanka Tripathi may not have won the Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 trophy, but she has been gathering a lot of praise for her performance. The actress tells mid-day.com that while she has the sweet, simple bahu image onscreen, she’s always been tough as nails in real life

The audiences got to see a completely different side of Divyanka in 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 11'. Speaking about the same, Divyanka says, "I have always been gutsy and a go-getter, but people haven’t seen that side of me and I’m glad they are now. I remember as an NCC cadet once, I had a bad injury on my foot. But I still wanted to perform in the parade, so I didn’t tell anyone about the injury and would march long hours in those hard, leather shoes. Another time during the shoot of my debut Banoo Main Teri Dulhan, I was on a call with my mother and ended up injuring myself with a glass that gave me a nasty cut. I didn’t want the shoot to get affected, so I continued. I know people see me as my onscreen image but I wanted them to see the real me. Towards the finale we had a stunt where I had to use my arm strength and that is something Viv (husband Vivek Dahiya) had always told me to work on. I didn’t want to disappoint him and went on like a mad woman, though my body was at breaking point. I've realised that the biggest fear we have is getting injured, once you overcome that, you have won!"
