The sizzling actress, Priyanka Chopra is going to make her debut on TV as the host of the adventurous reality program ‘Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi’.

She would be hosting the unique Indian Premiere League (IPL) edition of a show on the Colors channel. The sensational actress has replaced the action superstar Akshay Kumar and is going to take 13 cricketers to the tasks.

Priyanka feels fantastic about this move and said,” It feels incredible to be associated with one of the biggest shows on Indian television today. It fits perfectly with my personality. I have been a huge fan of the show and thoroughly enjoy watching it. I am looking forward to begin an all new innings in TV with this show which pumps up the adrenaline levels. It’s exciting to be a part of the concept which is unique and is associated with some of the biggest names in cricket.”

Both the Indian and international cricketers will be seen competing with each other to win the “Fear Factor – Khatron Ka Khiladi” title for year 2010.

Ashvini Yardi, Colors’ programming head said,” 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 beauties with one khiladi. This season get ready to witness 13 cricketing khiladis (macho men) and ek haseena (one beauty).”She added,” We’re delighted to have Priyanka on board. When you combine her glamour, mass appeal and athleticism with cricketers’ energy and adrenalin, what you get is the best possible combination for a show like ‘Fear Factor – Khatron Ke Khiladi’.”

Thus this change has just been a result of change in the format of show and nothing else.
