“You are the most important man in India, my job is to keep you alive,” says Bear Grylls, host of popular Tv show Man vs Wild, in a teaser shared on Monday. And Gryll says this to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who heads into the wild with Grylls, for the show.
Sharing a teaser video of the episode, Grylls wrote:“People across 180 countries will get to see the unknown side of PM @narendramodi as he ventures into Indian wilderness to create awareness about animal conservation & environmental change. Catch Man Vs Wild with PM Modi @DiscoveryIN on August 12 @ 9 pm.”
In the video, we see Modi riding a raft with Grylls also holding a hand-made weapon carved out of wood.

"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 programme focussing on life beyond politics and that too in the midst of nature I was both intrigued and inclined to take part in it," the PM said in a statement. "For me, this show presents a great opportunity to showcase to the world India's rich environmental heritage and stress on the importance of environment conservation and living in harmony with nature. It was a great experience spending time in the jungle once again, this time with Bear, who is blessed with indefatigable energy and quest to experience nature at its purest," he added.
Bear said it was a privilege to take the PM "on an adventure into the Indian wilderness."
"I feel truly honoured to get to spend time with this remarkable world leader. The wild reminds us that we need each other and that together we are stronger. I am so excited to spend time with the PM and to get to know the man who leads this great nation," Bear said.
The episode shot in the Jim Corbett National Park, will premiere on August 12 on Discovery.
