When challenged by Salman Khan to munch on local Thai insects, she actually did!

Inspired by the contestants of Fear Factor, who tuck into creepy crawlies as a challenge, Salman Khan did likewise to his Ready co-star Asin Thottumkal.

The star goaded his heroine to munch into an insect that was flitting around the trees on the location shoot in Thailand.

Ready is being currently shot in the remote interiors, far off from Bangkok, in the jungles.

A source on the sets reveals, "Two days ago when the filming was on, Salman realised that a swarm of insects on the barks of the trees.

When he checked with the local Thai crew, he was told that they were edible!"

The source adds, "In fact some of the Thai guys collected the insects in a bucket and demonstrated that you could munch them."

The actor then challenged Asin to try it and even picked one and held it out to her. The crew members expected her to squeal and run, but the actress coolly took it, popped it in her mouth, shrugged and went on with her shot!

The entire crew, especially Salman besides producers Bhushan Kumar and Rajat Rawail and director Anees Bazmee were left floored and awestruck by her fearless attitude.

When asked about how she could pull that off, Asin says, "There's nothing to it... it's all in the mind."

Hopefully her stomach was as strong as her mind, after having such 'local' delicacies
