She Dares!

Creepy crawlies: I never had a problem with them but after what they’ve put me through on Khatron Ke Khiladi,I hate those little things with a vengeance.

Scary situation: As a child,I almost drowned in a hotel pool!

Why KKK: I love challenges and adventure sports.

BRUNA ABDALAH CHRISTOFOLI
Biggest phobia: There’s only one thing that makes me scream: cockroaches!

Creepy crawlies: I am fine with snakes. Lizards are okay too…only the bigger ones are a little heavy. And worms are the coolest. They’re so cute. But cockroaches – they’re the worst thing on earth!

Scary situation: I was once attacked by a giant cockroach. I woke up,saw it and had my first asthma attack. It was horrible.

Why KKK: To face my fears. Don’t know if I’m over the cockroaches though!

CAROL GRACIAS
Biggest phobia: Darkness and lizards.

Creepy crawlies: Snakes are quite alright and cockroaches are harmless. Worms are actually quite cool. However,lizards…no,I don’t want to be near one nor do I want one near me!

Scary situation: I was in an unknown place and lights just went off. I freaked out.

Why KKK: I wanted to do something which I usually don’t do in my daily life. Khatron Ke Khiladi is a show I knew where I would be able to do the stunts in a totally safe environment.

NAUHEED CYRUSI
Biggest phobia: I am petrified of crocodiles and alligators.

Creepy crawlies: I find snakes absolutely fascinating. They are such gorgeous creatures,I love them. Tiny lizards freak me out but the big ones are fun to watch. Worms are okay – I don’t like them but I’m not scared of them. Cockroaches I hate. I will kill any and every cockroach I see!

Scary situation: I performed a stunt on an airplane in Khatron Ke Khiladi-Level 2 which was tricky and got me really scared. I wasn’t too sure if I would be able to actually take control of the situation. Only when I put my fingers out,I realized the gravity in the air. At that moment,I was really petrified.

Why KKK: I’ve been the biggest fan of Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi and have watched all the episodes of the show. I am quite an adventurous person in life,like I love skydiving and besides; you do not really get an opportunity to do stunts like these.

PIA TRIVEDI
Biggest phobia: Nothing really. I am quite fearless.

Scary situation: Not till I got on Khatron KE Khiladi Level 2!

Why KKK: I joined Khatron Ke Khiladi to challenge and rediscover myself. Today,I am proud of what I have achieved.

RUPALI GANGULI
Biggest phobia: I am petrified of being underwater. I am extremely scared of darkness and I am claustrophobic.

Creepy crawlies: I am not too fond of any of these creepy animals but now after participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2,I have got used to them!

Scary situation: About 3-4 years ago I got stuck in the elevator around the 18th floor with some 20 people. It was extremely claustrophobic and I was really scared. Since then,I avoid taking the elevator when I am alone. The other scary experience was when I had to perform an underwater stunt for the show. I totally freaked out.

Why KKK: I didn’t want to join because I was scared of lizards or cockroaches. I joined this show because I wanted to challenge myself and rediscover my potential. And today,I am proud of what I have achieved.

SHONALI NAGRANI
Biggest phobia: I am scared of failing in life. My other fear is car accidents. They really unsettle me.

Biggest childhood phobia that you have overcome: Nothing really.

Creepy crawlies: I am quite fond of creepy crawlies. The thing is,these creatures are unpredictable and one needs to be careful while performing tasks with them.

Scary situation: I had gone for parasailing when I was younger and there my skin was all scraped.

Why KKK: My father is an Army Officer and hence I have always been very adventurous. I love adventures and therefore I decided to participate in Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2

SONIKA KALIRAMAN
(FYI: just got married,and spent my honeymoon more or less performing stunts!)

Biggest phobia: I am scared of heights and very very scared of water.

Creepy crawlies: I was never too comfortable with any of these creepy animals but now after participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi Level 2,I have got used to them!

Scary situation: Once while bathing I saw this creepy snake coming out from the drain pipe that really scared a lot. I came running out of the bathroom. But today after being on KKK,I could never imagine that I would be doing stunts with snakes!

Why KKK: Frankly I am not a television addict and I haven’t even seen the previous season of KKK. But as soon I decided to participate in the show,I searched the internet to get more information on the show. That’s how I came to know that I will have to perform some very tricky and challenging stunts on the show. I was particularly impressed with fact that this show is women oriented and helps these thirteen woman celebrities to overcome fear. It sets an example for others and that is very inspiring.

SHVETA SALVE
Biggest phobia: I am terrified of lizards and reptiles.

Creepy crawlies: I don’t have a problem with cockroaches and worms. I can deal with them. I have never been a fan of snakes though. Actually I have an aversion to reptiles in general and lizards just freak me out. I hate them.

Scary situation: Nothing very scary really.

Why KKK: I have always been a total outdoorsy girl and I love challenges. In fact,even as a child I was a complete tomboy. So all this excites me. And one never really get a chance like this where there are professionals guiding one’s every move,taking every possible care. Guiding you,telling you how to do what – it’s a great opportunity to do stunts.
