`Khatron Ke Khiladi` has given me a lot of exposure: Geeta Tandon

Stuntwoman Geeta Tandon, who got eliminated along with actress Gauhar Khan from "Khatron Ke Khiladi - Darr Ka Blockbuster", says her stint on the stunt-based reality show was an "exciting" experience.

"'Khatron Ke Khiladi' has been a very exciting phase in my life. Before the show, I had done stunts for the artists. But 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' gave me the platform to work alongside the artists and not for them and that turned out to be great fun,` Tandon said in a statement.

`The show has given me a lot of exposure and thankfully, I have scored a great opportunity to further my future as a result of the show,` she added.

Also, the show helped her fulfil her dream of taking her art and stunts internationally. 

Seen as one of the strong contenders for the title, Geeta performed week after week, but she couldn't survive the 12th stunt, which led to her ouster from the show.

Geeta shared a great rapport with the show host and her mentor Rohit Shetty and she believes she would not have survived this long without the guidance and motivation from her `guru`.
