The episode of jungle survival programme 'Man vs Wild' featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silver screen debut with adventurer and TV host Bear Grylls. The programme, broadcast at 9 pm today on the Discovery Channel, shows Bear Grylls on an adventure with the Prime Minister in Uttarakhand's famous Jim Corbett National Park. Discovery Channel said the episode will be a "frank and freewheeling journey" which will throw light on wildlife conservation.
In a four-minute promo released by Discovery, Bear Grylls is seen teaching the Prime Minister how to make a spear to protect himself if they have a chance encounter with a tiger in the woods.
Tweeting a curtain-raiser message today, PM Modi said, "What better than the lush green jungles of India, in the midst of Mother Nature to throw light on environmental conservation and climate change... Do join at 9 PM tonight!"
"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," Bear Grylls, had tweeted last month, sharing a teaser of the episode.
Here are the highlights on the Man Vs Wild episode with Bear Grylls and PM Narendra Modi:

To this Bear Grylls refuted the possibility by saying the "Prime Minister is a vegetarian".
"Prime Minister is a vegetarian, so there was going to be no eating of grubs or anything like that. But in the wild, you can survive very well off berries, roots, plants and certainly, Prime Minister spent his younger years in the wild, so he was very comfortable with that. We ended up very cold and very wet but shared some beautiful Indian tea together in the end; that was a very special moment for me," Bear Grylls said.

"You are the most important man in India and my job is to keep you alive. If a tiger comes, so this is your protection," Bear Grylls said while teaching PM Modi how to use a spear as a safeguard against potential attack from a tiger.
To this, PM Modi replies, "My upbringing does not allow me to take a life. However, I will hold on it (the spear) since you insist!"
