Model and TV host Pooja Bedi doesn't tell us what we will see. But she does say what we won't see in this season of Fear Factor. 'India is primarily a vegetarian country so there are no edible stunts because we didn't want to offend the viewers or gross them out. So that is the best part of the show. Also, viewers can expect to see Indian women showcase unmatched strength, endurance and agility doing the most horrific and impossible stunts. The South African unit was thoroughly impressed by us."
Kaliyon ka chaman girl Meghna Naidu found the water stunts most difficult. "We shot in winter so it was absolutely crazy and difficult for everyone to do the water stunts. Viewers can expect quite a lot of excitement and shocking stunts, stuff they have not seen before and stunts that we did for the first time in our lives. It was scary but we tried to look excited and happy."
Model Nethra Raghumaran says, "The excitement I felt during the show is unparalleled. I felt and saw fear in its most naked form. I didn't know what I was getting into. I used to be petrified every time I started a stunt because I didn't know what would be there at the other end. The stunts were shocking, they were physically challenging or disgusting and they made me think 'How can they expect me to do that?' but we learnt to make the impossible possible. We pushed our limits and conquered our fears."
Supermodel twins Tapur and Tupur Chatterjee share the same opinion. Tupur says, "The audience can expect the unexpected. They will see the dangerous stunts but miss out on the freezing temperature, about 1 degree or less. Both Tapur and I are claustrophobic and are scared of heights. Then Endemol crew was excellent and took good care of our safety and protection as the stunts were very dangerous." Tupur adds, "The stunts were more difficult for us because of our phobias and you cannot overcome them under pressure. But it was a fantastic, once in a lifetime experience and we would go back to do the things we were not able to do."
Chak De Girl Vidya Malvade's take on Fear Factor is as follows, "The show has fun, fear and crazy stunts It was a nightmare for us to do stunts involving rats and snakes, we also had to stay a minute in freezing water and jump off helicopters. I would like to request people to watch the show and not try any stunts at home."
Supermodel and supermom Aditi Gowitrikar shares her experience with us. She says, "I am emotionally connected to the show because I was away from my family and missed them immensely. Viewers can expect a lot of madness on the show. I will not forget the stunts featuring dogs."
Model turned actress Urvashi Sharma says, "I am so glad that the show will air today. It has everything- from screaming participants to fun and adventure. While shooting in South Africa we had to do 2 stunts -one in the morning and second in evening and if I had done it morning then I could pack up for the day, so I liked to finish it in the morning. I tested my mental strength through this show
Actress aspirant Anjana Sukhani shares her ratty experience, "My parents are really keen to watch this show, especially my stunts with rats. This is the first time Akshay Kumar has mentored us. He used to joke around all the time so it will be fun to see him too."
