Akki Khiladi's Babes | Season 2

The second season of Fear Factor -- Khatron Ke Khiladi is back. And the show, hosted by Akshay Kumar, promises to be exciting, as he may be joined by some of the hottest women in film and fashion industries. The new season will be slightly different from the first. This time, the celebrity women will be accompanied by ordinary folks. The shoot is expected to start in Cape Town, South Africa, next month.

Let's take a look at the beautiful ladies tipped to enter the dare-devil show.




Pia Trivedi


Model-cum-veejay, Pia has been a Kingfisher swimsuit model for two consecutive years. She has also hosted the Get Gorgeous reality show on Channel [V]. Now, she hopes to make a name in Bollywood too, and has been reading a few movie scripts. Incidentally, she's been spotted in films like Bluffmaster and Mission Istanbul. South films, however, will have to wait as Pia refuses to put on the extra pounds for a role.



Jesse Randhawa


Like Pia, Jesse is a successful ramp model as well. She proved that she has talent in the acting department as well, thanks to her commendable performance in Anurag Kashyap's Gulaal.




Nauheed Cyrusi


This cute actress started her career as a model. But it was music videos -- especially the one for Piya Basanti -- that brought her to the attention of Bollywood producers.
Her films like Supari and Lakeer, however, were washouts.




Neetu Chandra


A National Games silver medalist in Taek-won-do, Neetu did bit roles in movies like Garam Masala, Traffic Signal, One Two Three before landing a lead role opposite Abhay Deol in Oye Lucky Lucky Oye. Her latest release was the bilingual horror film 13B [Yavarum Nalam in Tamil] opposite R Madhavan.




Shamita Shetty


Shilpa Shetty's younger sister Shamita's debut film, Mohabbatein, got her instant fame. She went on to do some hit item numbers in Saathiya and Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, and then teamed up with big sis in Fareb. Her other films include Cash and Zeher.




Rozza Catalano


Saif Ali Khan's Italian ex-girlfriend didn't pack her bags the moment she broke up with the actor. Instead, she signed up for an item number in Samar Khan's Shaurya. She showed off her dancing skills in the dance reality show Yeh Hai Jalwa as well.




Mandira Bedi


Known for her fashionable wardobe and commentating skills, Mandira was first noticed in the telly soap, Shanti. From a sari-clad Shanti to her noodle straps on Extraaa Innings, Mandy has gathered quite a loyal fan following.
But her first love seems to be cricket. And why not? She proved her hosting abilities during the cricket World Cup. Plus, she was a jury member in ESPN-Star's reality show Dream Job, hunting for a cricket anchor. Now, she's sharing screen space with Navjot Sidhu on Star One's The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.




Neha Dhupia


Neha started her career in the telly soap, Rajdhani, in 1999. She went on to win the Miss India Universe title in 2002, and starred in hits like Julie, Qayamat Kyaa Kool Hai Hum and Shootout at Lokhandwala.
Her future looks bright too. She has five movies lined up this year -- Paying Guest, Pappu Can't Dance Saala, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi, Raftaar and De Dhana Dan.




Shveta Salve


A television darling, Shveta has acted in serials like Kittie Party, Lipstick, Kahin Kissi Roz, Saarkar and Left Right Left. She also made it to the finals of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
She also made a foray into films with a cameo in Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and music videos for Stereo Nation. Her future project is a Dharmesh Darshan's next, Bhanwraa, starring Manav Gohil, Ejaz Khan and Sangeeta Ghosh.




Sushma Reddy


The eldest of the Reddy sisters -- Meghna and Sameera -- Sushma made her foray into showbiz through veejaying for Channel [V]. The model-turned-actress has also appeared in Sonu Nigam's music album, Deewana. Her Hindi debut was Chocolate followed by Don and Chup Chup Ke.
