Anushka Manchanda answers, Haha! I'm not married
pranavtiwary asked, hey Anu!.. Don't you think you won by fluke!!!....I'm sure you are just too lucky. There were others who were far more deserving than you!
Anushka Manchanda answers, Well, I do believe I was lucky but here's a little secret. My partner and I were always consistent, coming in 3rd or 4th in all the stunts. So no one ever felt threatened by us. Also, we used to volunteer ourselves to go 3rd or 4th in the order to do the stunts. So NO ONE PICKED US TO GO FIRST! Heheh! We won the maximum number of safety bands on the show, and we were the best at both stunts on the final day. So fluke, no; Luck, a little :D
abhinau asked, Hello anushka, How was Akshay Kumar on the sets of Khatron Ke Khiladi??

Anushka Manchanda answers, Tsk Tsk... Emotional blackmail! Okay... here are a coupe of lines -- Hey hey boy..now take it easy, don't be silly cuz suicide is cheesy, make an impression by living it up, good luck with your life, I hope you top!

jai asked, I like ur voice
Anushka Manchanda answers, Thank you.
sushmita asked, I love your voice man its like real hip and most of your songs are like peppy stuff ....are you trained in any form of classical singing ..because I really love singing rock and pop and my parents think if I wont get through without carnatic training. I'd probably be least knowledgable about music but I strongly disagree! What would you say?
Anushka Manchanda answers, Sushmita, this is my one regret that I didn't train. My friend Mohan from the band Agnee is a fantastic singer and has trained in carnatic music. You should train but also contine to listen to a lot of rock and pop so that your singing style doesn't become too rigid.
