The actress who is petrified of water, fought her fear and shot the whitewater raft sequence herself

Sameera Reddy will be seen in an all new avatar doing stunts in Priyadarshan's thriller Tezz starring Ajay Devgan, Anil Kapoor and Kangna Ranaut.

She has done all sorts of adventurous stunts from riding bikes to going under the water.

In one of the action sequences shot in London, Sam was required to do whitewater rafting. The actress who is scared of water fought her fear and agreed to shoot the scene herself.

A crew member informs, "Sameera was supposed to shoot a scene under water. We all knew of her fear of water so the director thought of doing the scene with a body double.

But Sameera is a such an adventure junkie that she took it up as a challenge to shoot the scene herself. We were shocked when Sam besides rafting also agreed to do the underwater scene in the freezing temperature."

"She stayed in the freezing cold water for 15-odd minutes pulling off the sequence to perfection. But when she came out she couldn't stand on her feet and her body had gone completely numb.

The unit got a bit worried but thankfully Sam got back to being normal in an hour. We gave her a lot of hot drinks and warm clothes."
