A style statement and a symbol of power, driving thrill and adventure, the tough and rugged New Generation Scorpio is a perfect match for the winner of “Khatron Ke Khiladi” as both display an ability to overcome all kinds of challenges to stay miles ahead of their competitors.  Christened “Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns”, the latest season of “Khatron Ke Khiladi” pushed its contestants to the limit over two gruelling months and Ashish Chowdhry braved all odds to emerge the winner - clearly reflecting Mahindra’s RISE philosophy of ‘Accepting No Limits’.
