1.Shamita Shetty makes a 'VIP' entry into 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 9'
Shamita Shetty made a full-on Bollywood entry into the show. Dressed in heels and red leather jacket - she drove-in to the stunt site on a fancy bike. Her entry, though planned, reportedly made a lot of contestants feel insecure and rightly so.

2.Why bringing-in Shamita in the fourth week is terribly unfair
Unlike reality shows like 'Bigg Boss' where the celebrity's fan following determines how long one stays in the show, adventure-based shows like 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' boast of a no-nonsense approach. It's a performance based show where competition intensifies every passing week and introducing a new contestant mid-season not just seems unfair for the other participants but also makes you question the show's integrity. Though 'KKK' had always had the concept of wild card entries, this season it appeared a bit too irrational.
Shamita Shetty, best known for her role in films like 'Mohabbatein' and 'Zeher', made an abrubt entry into the show this Satuday. She was directly allowed to compete with Zain Imam and Punit Pathak, who reached the fourth week after performing several excruciating tasks. Had she performed her first task nicely - her entry would have still seemed justified. But, unfortunately even that didn't happen.
According to sources present on the shoot, “Shamita’s entry in the show surprised all the khiladi’s and infused a sense of insecurity within all of them..”
3.Here's the truth behind Shamita's late entry
In a recent 'Ask Me' session on Twitter, Shamita revealed why despite reaching Argentina with all the other contestants in July last year, she couldn't begin the shoot from day 1. While answering one of her fans' questions, she said that she got down with dengue as soon as she reached Argentina, which is why she had to join the contestants four weeks later.
While it's unfortunate that she couldn't begin the race from the starting line, her illness still doesn't justify the makers' decision of having her as a wild card entry on the show.

4.What's with all the special treatment?
What's even more annoying is the priviliged treatment she is getting on the show. The entire Haarsh Lambachiya track about him trying to woo his 'Shamu', appeared really gimmicky. Though Bharti's jibes seemed a little insensitive at first, in hindsight they appeared to have come from a more real space than Haarsh's feelings.
Watch for yourself:

5.How long will she be able to survive the show?
A newly released promo shows Shamita crying at the mere thought of holding a few cockroaches. We wonder how far will she be able to go in this show. Not to forget, she has already got her first 'fear fanda'!
