Femme fatales!

Bollywood, we would like to believe, is full of fearless femme fatales!

Action king Akshay Kumar is hosting the popular reality show Fear Factor with nine of the film industry’s hot actors participating in it.

Akki, who is reportedly being paid Rs 1.5 crore per episode, has for company in his daredevilry the likes of Celina Jaitly, Aarti Chabria, Sonali Kulkarni, Ayesha Takia and Anjana Sukhani among others.

They will have to match the Bollywood Khiladi who is known for his martial arts prowess and death-defying stunts. At present the actors are undergoing rigorous training for the show that will be shot in South Africa.

“They will have to perform different stunts like jumping from helicopters and high-rise buildings to eating scorpions live,” said a source.
