Adnan Khan overcomes acrophobia for ‘Pracchand Ashok’

Mumbai, Feb 27 : Actor Adnan Khan has braved his chronic fear of heights for a high-octane action sequence for the show Pracchand Ashok.

The show, which stars Adnan in the titular role and enlivens the larger-than-life odyssey of Samrat Ashok, is not without its challenges.

For an action scene, which involved a daring fight sequence on top of a 30-foot bell tower, Adnan battled his fear in the same way his character fights his enemies.

Talking about overcoming his acrophobia, Adnan said: "At first, I could barely stand on the towering bell.it was nerve-wracking, as I have height phobia.

But with all necessary precautions and my crew’s assistance, I could tackle this fear head-on.

"For an actor, every day is a new learning process, especially when one is embodying such a powerful character like Samrat Ashok.

"

The show outlines the journeys of Samrat Ashok and Princess Kaurwaki, who fall in love despite the odds stacked against them.

Pracchand Ashok airs on Colors.
