Narayani Shastri
Narayani Shastri can't conceal her excitement as she readies to test her endurance levels to the maximum — as a participant in the AXN show Fear Factor. "This is something which I have never done before," says Shastri.
Always ready for adventure
The actress will shoot for the episode of Fear Factor in Malaysia in the first week of September. "It has everything that I look for. There is the element of thrill, adventure, and shooting in a new place." She doesn't know exactly what feat of endurance she will perform.
"But I am game for it. I am quite adventurous and will go for it. It could be just anything from bungee jumping to overcoming some obstacles. I can't wait to know what it is." Shastri will be a part of Fear Factor, which occasionally has celeb participants.
She was invited
"The offer came from them. They asked me if I was willing to be a participant in it," she adds. "I was ready and willing," adds Shastri who was in the news recently for her decision to stay on in Piya Ka Ghar despite creative differences. As for her role as Taashu in Kkusum, she says, "When Taasu resurfaces in the drama, they will call me."

What is Fear Factor?
This hugely-watched AXN show tests the limits of physical and psychological limits. It celebrates the human spirit — that once you overcome fear, you can do anything.
Each week, physically fit contestants, both male and female, are subjected to the tests. Participants can be asked to perform jaw-dropping stunts like jumping off a cliff or the bizarre like spending a stipulated time in a pit full of scorpions.
There are three stunts to perform, three obstacles to overcome and three steps to a hefty sum of money as the prize.
