He was immediately taken away from the spot and reportedly recovered later. According to a source, the incident happened so fast that it seemed like he was knocked unconscious in a fight. The source added:

"In the show he was trying to overcome his fear of being under water as he couldn't hold his breath for longer than 15 seconds before trying the stunt out.. Although he failed in rehearsals, he still went ahead with the stunt on the show and everyone was in tears."
