Vidya Malavade (TOI Photo) More Pics
Who would€™ve thought that the petite Vidya Malavade would jump off helicopters and won€™t be scared to be among snakes!
The actress pushed herself to do everything she hadn€™t dreamt herself to indulge in. Vidya, who€™s part of the daring gang of girls in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi which will be on air at 10 pm on Colors today, even found out that creepy crawlies don€™t scare her much. So what made her sign on to do something that€™s definitely not a part of her everyday life?
€œThis was like another Chak De for me. When I signed Chak De , I didn€™t know anything about hockey. I didn€™t even know how to hold a stick properly. But once I got into it I gave it my all. Similarly when the channel approached me with this show, my first reaction was €˜no way€™. However, they asked me think again. I realised that I am never going to get an opportunity to do these things again with such a professional crew around. That€™s the reason I agreed to be a part of the show,€ she says.
As expected doing the stunts was not a cakewalk. Vidya says, €œThe first stunt was the scariest because I was running a temperature of 103 degrees. The stunt involved jumping off a helicopter into ice cold water and swimming some more. I was thinking whether I should attempt it at all. But then to go back without attempting a single stunt was not acceptable to me. Even when I was in the helicopter, I wasn€™t sure about doing the stunt. But then I leaped off the chopper before I could think anymore.€ She adds, €œSometimes you shouldn€™t think before taking the leap.€ Of course Vidya had to bear the consequences too. She was left with a black-and-blue eye and a cut above her eyebrow.
Also, Akshay Kumar, who€™s the host of the show encouraged her to give it a shot. €œAkshay is so much fun. He€™s a pro at doing all the stunts. He makes it seem so easy, but when you attempt it, you realise how tough it is,€ she says. Looking at Vidya€™s brave attempt she can surely try her hand at some action-oriented films. Chak de, Vidya!
