Priyanka Chopra to host the third season of ‘Fear Factor’

The entertainment channel ‘Colors’ raked in gold with the two seasons of ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi- Fear Factor’, both hosted by Akshay Kumar. However, the channel decided to go for a change this season and as such, this season of KKK will have thirteen Cricketing Khiladis and Ek Haseena. The Haseena here will be none other than the reigning Bollywood queen Priyanka Chopra. The big-ticket reality series, run after the IPL, will have 13 Indian and international cricketers doing the tasks.

Says Colors programming head Ashvini Yardi, “We’re delighted to have Priyanka on-board to host this year’s Fear Factor – ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi.”

“When you combine Priyanka’s glamour, mass-appeal and athleticism with the energy and adrenaline of the cricketers, you get the perfect equation for a show like Fear Factor.

Akshay took this show to great heights with his inimitable style, however this year we’re changing the format. So, far you had seen 13 hasinaein with 1 khiladi…this season get ready to witness 13 cricketing khiladis and ek haseena,” Yardi added.

Priyanka, of course, is delighted to take up the challenge. She said, “The show fits in perfectly with my personality. I have been a huge fan of Fear Factor and thoroughly enjoy watching it. I am looking forward to my innings on television. It’s exciting to be a part of a concept which is unique and feature some of the biggest names in cricket.”
