New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Actress Priyanka Chopra had a ride on the fast lane she won’t easily forget while hosting Colors’ adventure reality show “Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi”, courtesy a Formula 2 racer.

Formula 2 racer Arman Ibrahim, one of the contestants on the show, had an edge over others to impress the former Miss World during a stunt shot on a race course in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The 21-year-old decided to show off his skills behind the wheel and took daredevil Priyanka for a drive on the racing track.

“Taking Priyanka for a drive was an absolutely awesome experience. The race track is often the loneliest place - just you and your car. But having such a gorgeous woman by your side and a great set of wheels at the track was exciting,” Armaan said in a statement.

“We had fun and I’m happy Priyanka enjoyed the ride. I’ve invited her to one of my races, so we can give this another go sometime soon,” he added.

Producer Majethia wanted to play Akshay’s role in ‘Waqt’

Producer J.D. Majethia, who is busy promoting his forthcoming film “Khichdi - The Movie”, says it would have been more appropriate if he had got a chance to play Akshay Kumar’s role in ‘Waqt’, which was originally performed by Majethia in his play.

Filmmaker Vipul Shah’s movie “Waqt” starred Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra.

“When I was watching the movie I felt that it would have been the best experience to perform that role on the big screen as it was so close to my heart when I acted in my play,” said Majethia in a statement.

The producer has earlier done shows like “Khichdi”, “Instant Khichdi” and “Baa, Bahu Aur Baby”.

“Khichdi - The Movie” has been written and directed by Aatish Kapadia and stars actors like Anang Desai, Supriya Pathak and Girish Sahdev, who were also seen on the small screen version.

The film also features actor Satish Shah and has a special appearance by choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan. The film will be released by Fox Star Studios Oct 1.
