Actor Ashish Chowdhry has won stunt-based reality TV show Khatron Ke Khiladi - Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns, which tested the physical and mental strength of 14 celebrities over a ten-week long journey across scenic locations of Cape Town in South Africa. He says his twin daughters turned out to be lucky for his "clean win". (Also read: Harshad Arora Blames 'Being First' for Exit from Khatron Ke Khiladi)
The 36-year-old decided to go on the adventurous journey at a time when his twin daughters - Salara and Sammah - were just 15 days old.
He has a son named Agasthya, and along with his wife, Ashish also looks after his deceased sister's children Kanishk and Ananya.

The grand finale of the Colors' show began with a touch of Rohit Shetty's style, where the four finalists were asked to blast a car in a stunt named after the Chennai Express director.
Ashish and Chang were announced as the winner of the first stunt and went on to compete in the final stunt, titled "The Final Blast", where Ashish was declared as the winner.
The entertainment quotient in finale episode was added by some power-packed performances by all the contestants on various Bollywood tracks; and some humour was injected by comedian Bharti Singh.
Bharti arrived on the finale to promote forthcoming reality show India's Got Talent, which she will host along with actor Nakuul Mehta.
Co-judged by filmmaker Karan Johar and actors Kirron Kher and Malaika Arora Khan, the sixth season of India's Got Talent, which replaces Khatron Ke Khiladi - Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns, will go on air on April 18.
