A diction coach is a must-have accessory for stars these days but rarely does a director employ one and Rohit Shetty is among those rare names. 

The director is gearing up to host the TV reality show Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and his preparations include diction classes to polish his Hindi. 

The filmmaker has roped in diction coach Vidhur Chaturvedi for the task and he will take classes for a month before flying to Argentina to shoot the show. 

A source told Mirror, “As a host, Rohit wants to ensure that he is perfect in every department. Though he doesn’t have any problems speaking Hindi, he wants to get his diction right. Vidhur taught Katrina Kaif how to speak Hindi in Raajneeti, so he is the right guy for the task." 

The source added that Vidhur’s primary responsibility is to ensure that Rohit pronounces even the most twisted words in a seamless manner. "The director is also having multiple meetings with the channel to design the stunts in the show?" adds the source. 

When contacted Vidhur confirmed the news, saying, “Yes, it’s true that I will be giving diction training to Rohit.”
