Prayer is a way of meditation; it is a way of consolidation of ones energy, calming the mind and being blessed by the universe at the same time. Keeping in tune with the same philosophy ‘Gayatri Mantra’, the foremost mantra of Hinduism was a prayer that was religiously chanted by Akshay Kumar and his 13 beautiful participants before the commencement of each stunt in Fear Factor – Khatron ke Khiladi.

Akshay Kumar recited the prayer to encourage the participants, increase their inner self- belief and make them fearless while performing death-defying stunts in South Africa. The teachings and powers incorporated in the ‘Gayatri Mantra’ fulfill this purpose.

Confirming this, Akshay Kumar,Host of Fear Factor -Khatron Ke Khiladi said, “Whenever I do my stunts I chant the ‘Gayatri Mantra’. I strongly believe that our body is animated by life energy and according to India's science of sound healing; you can gather and direct that healing life force through the power of sacred sound. Hence to help the girls overcome their fear, I thoughts its best to start their stunts with this ultimate chant”

Well said Akshay, when your life is in jeopardy, you always remember God
