"Chup Chup Ke" saw Sushma Reddy transform from a glam doll to a village belle. A travel freak, it came as no surprise when she took off on a well-deserved break to Greece to meet sister Meghna.

The trip surely turned her into a daredevil of sorts. Sushma, along with Meghna, travelled from Greece to Italy accompanied with a few friends and took on an almost impossible mission.

They climbed up an active volcano - Stromboli, which is a steep slope of more than a thousand metres. Their path was laden with active lava and the deep rumbling of the furious volcano threatening to erupt.

"It was roughly a 800-1,000 metre climb to the top. The first thing that came into sight was the vapours and fumes along with the magma being spewed in the air," says Sushma.

"It was an awe-inspiring experience. Finally, I reached Stromboli town covered in ash and dust but happy."
