New Delhi: In a very special episode of ‘Man vs Wild’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today appear with host Bear Grylls. In the episode that will air tonight, Modi will accompany Grylls into the forest while talking about wild life conservation. This special episode has been shot in the Jim Corbett National Park and will broadcast today(Aug 12) at 9 pm along-with 180 countries around the world.
Grylls, in a recent interview to news agency ANI, revealed that there will be “no eating of grubs” in the episode as Modi is a vegetarian. “PM (Modi) is vegetarian, so there was going to be no eating of grubs or anything,” he said, adding that it is not necessary to feed upon wild animals or insects to survive in wild, varieties of herbs and fruits can do the work. “In the wild, you can survive very well off berries, roots, plants and certainly, PM spent his younger years in the wild, so he was very comfortable with that,” he said.
Speaking about the show, PM Modi said, “For years, I have lived among nature, in the mountains and the forests. These years have a lasting impact on my life. So when I was asked about a special show focusing on life beyond politics and that too in the midst of nature I was intrigued to make part in it.” Grylls, on his part, said he was “truly honoured” to spend time with the Prime Minister.
The show is known for its host Bear Grylls’ survival techniques in extreme conditions and his love for flora and fauna.
