The Akshay connection comes handy yet again. Singh's wife will be one of the contestants on Khatron Ke Khiladi 4

If Akshay Kumar had his way, buddy Vindoo Dara Singh would also be a part of his latest TV outing, Khatron Ke Khiladi 4.

It's a well-known fact that the A-Lister recommends his dost for all his films.

However, since the reality show in question has only female contestants, Singh obviously cannot be included! So, Akki did the next best thing. He has roped in Vindoo's wife Dina Umarova as a participant!

Says a source, "The channel is locking in the names of the women on the show. They want glam girls who are willing to take on new challenges. A model and fashion designer, Dina fits the bill."

Though the list will be declared officially later, Dina's presence is a certainty.

Dina, who is from Novosibirsk in Siberia, met Vindoo through friends. She later married him. The couple has a young daughter Amelia.

In related news, the source insists that the channel is paying Akki a premium to host the fourth season of the show.

Ashvini Yardi of Colors claims, "Akshay was the first and the only choice for the show. We actually signed him much in advance."
