Nia Talks About Competing With Ravi

"It's quite co-incidental that I am going to be competing with Ravi, whom I have romanced on-screen. Earlier we used to do our scenes with music played in the background in cool breeze, and now we will be competing with each other in dust and mud. So its going to be a different thing altogether."

Furthermore, "I am very excited and nervous to be a part of the show. The audience will have to watch the show to know about my deepest fear. I want to know myself better. I also want to see till what extent I can push myself mentally and physically by being a part of the game."

Regarding her preparation for the same, she told, "I am working a bit on my core strength to perform the stunts. I am doing activities like under water swimming and breath controlling to prepare myself well for the stunts. I am also increasing my will power and motivation to be prepared for whatever comes my way."
