After returning from her birthday vacation, Priyanka Chopra will thrown herself in a vigorous workout schedule to build stamina for the third season of reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. PC will perform some daredevil stunts and challenge the 12 male contestants competing for the title. The team leaves for Brazil on August 15 to shoot for the action-adventure reality show.
A source reveals, "Priyanka loves performing her own stunts. Even during Don, she was keen on doing all the action herself. She has taken her role as a host and plans to go all out." When asked about the level of stunts she would be performing, Chopra says, "To the highest level! I am going to make the boys feel very bad. They would be like 'if a girl can do this, I can definitely do it!""
Describing her preparation she adds, "I am getting ready by going to the gym regularly. And I hate gymming! It's an occupational hazard. If I wasn't an actress, I wouldn't ever look at the gym. But I have to be fit, and I think its more important to be healthy than fit. Right now am working on building my stamina because I will perform some serious stunts."
When asked why the schedule was delayed she says, "Actually there's no delay, we were always supposed to shoot in August. We are not having cricketers anymore, we were supposed to have them but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had some problems. So now we have dropped that idea and have taken on celebrities from different walks of life. My dates were always in August, after I wrap Saat Khoon Maaf. We leave on August 15 for Brazil and September, we launch."
PC reveals that she's enjoyed watching Akshay host the previous two seasons. "Fear Factor has been one of my favourite shows. So I used to follow Akshay's show as well. There have been loads of TV offers coming to me in the last few years. But this was up my alley, it's very me. I am a very spontaneous, adventure sport kind of person. It's also fun to see how people react to their fears and that's what excited me about it."
