Recently, Khiladi Akshay Kumar turned real-life hero for hot south Indian actress Shruti Haasan. Yes, the Bollywood superstar turned knight in shining armor when Shruti Haasan was caught in a difficult situation. Shruti Haasan has been shooting with Akshay for their upcoming Bollywood movie Gabbar and was caught in a spot where she was made to face the one fear of her life. Shruti has vertigo, which simply means that she is scared of heights. Shruti Haasan was shooting for a romantic song to be featured in the movie for which she had to sit at the edge of a cliff 100 mts above the ground. Akshay Kumar who is a daredevil by nature and has hosted Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi came to her rescue. The Rowdy Rathore star talked Shruti Haasan through her fears and made her comfortable and confident enough to go through the scene. We have seen in the past how Akshay used to instill confidence in contestants of Khatron Ke Khiladi as well. Shruti faced her fear of heights and gave the required scenes as expected. She was so overwhelmed after successfully conquering her fear that she later called her father Kamal Haasan to tell him about it. "Akshay told me to take a deep breath and forget where we were. Thanks to him, I managed to sail through that moment of fear. I even called up my dad (Kamal Haasan) after the shoot was over to tell him I had done it," Shruti reportedly said.
