New Delhi, Aug 7 : The ninth season of reality
show "
Beg Borrow Steal" will go international and the show's host
Aaliyah is ready to take on the challenge one faces in foreign land like
language and surviving on limited money.
Aaliyah, who maneuvered
her way through the northeast while being handcuffed with a partner in
the last season, is set for her first international journey to Thailand.
She
is excited and said: "With an international destination, I'm expecting
the journey to be far more difficult and challenging since the language
is unknown and so is the culture. This season will give me an
opportunity to know a new culture, language and explore a new
destination altogether."
Having to complete her journey in
merely eight days and Rs.1,000 in her pocket, Aaliyah will dodge through
the floating market, Chinese Temple and Thai villages as she kickstarts
her journey for the show, aired on Bindass. She is hoping her journey
to be "extraordinary".
Aaliyah will be rewarded for completing her tasks, but she will also be subjected to penalties in case she doesn't.
She will also have to overcome certain hurdles like training for kickboxing under a professional or even man an insect stall.
"Carrying
the legacy of being a show with demanding tasks, challenging penalties
and a relentless drive for survival, this season will see some
interesting twists and turns that are sure to keep you on the edge of
your seat. on the side you are sure to get some handy travelling tips as
well," said
Nikhil Gandhi, executive director, Youth Channels - Media
networks Disney UTV.
The ninth season will go on air Aug 12.
