Cricketers say no to KKK; Priyanka's TV debut in danger

By Headlines Today Bureau

Actress Priyanka Chopra's TV debut with Khatron Ke Khiladi season 3 seems to be in danger as no cricketer seems to be keen on working with her.

Piggy Chops' dream to tame 13 aggressive Indian and international cricketers may not see the light of day as reportedly nobody has signed up for the third season of the adventure based reality show.

It seems that cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, Virendra Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee are just not interested in playing with Priyanka.

Thanks to the Indian Premier League (IPL) controversy and Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's outburst following India's dismal performance at the Twenty-20 World Cup, the chaotic cricket scenario seems to have marred the latest season of KKK.

A source close to the channel that will air KKK said, "Talks have been on with cricketers. Ever since Priyanka was announced as the show's new host two months ago, negotiations have been on, but no player is on board yet."

"Several names were to be picked from the various IPL teams. But the happenings towards the end of the tourney threw everything off-gear," the source added.

Cricketers were supposed to accompany this desi girl to Brazil and enthral the TV viewers with their daredevilry. KKK is scheduled to hit the tube in October, but the big question remains: will these cricketers play with Priyanka?

Going by past records, Bollywood meeting cricket always translates into one heady cocktail. As TV buffs, the audience will surely want to be a part of that rollercoaster ride.
