There's this huge rush of adrenaline when you push your limits. I have two bullying brothers, one of whom's an adventure junkie. So, I get my taste for adventure from them," explains this judge-anchor who now has deep sea diving on her adventure agenda. She tells CS about her four most fun adventurous experiences ever:

Mermaid magic
I tried sea walking while on my honeymoon in Mauritius five years ago. My head was fully covered with the big helmet while my feet were touching the sea bed. I wasn't in very deep sea though. Seeing the marine life in such close proximity was an amazing experience for me. I could touch and feel the flora and fauna. The technicolour vision of marine life I saw out there will forever stay vivid in my mind.

Bungee babe
This one has to take the cake. I was always scared of heights and the mere video of a bungee jump would make me shut my eyes in fear. But I did bungee jumping for a commercial while shooting in Phuket, Thailand. Though I had the choice of a body double, I didn't opt for one, as I really wanted to overcome my fear of heights. But I doubt whether I can ever repeat that exercise (laughs).u00a0

Free fall in Bali
Last December I was in Bali for a family vacation. There, I visited the Waterbom park and sat on the deadliest ride called Smash Down. The free falling ride was for speed lovers. You hit a top speed of 70 km per hour as you smash straight down from an eight-storied slide at a 60 degree angle. I lost my sense of gravity as I was coming down.

Heights of glory
I was shooting at an high altitude for Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon in New Zealand. I was tied to a harness on a bridge, at a height from where I simply couldn't look down. The temperature was below zero degrees. We were shooting a fun fight scene where I had to land on Hrithik (Roshan), do somersaults, kicks, jumps, etc. It was really scary but it remains one of my fondest memories till date.
