Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar on August 12 when he ventures into the wilderness of Uttarakhand along with Bear Grylls, the host of the popular television show ‘Man vs Wild’ on Discovery Channel.
The Discovery Channel has issued a statement saying the special episode featuring survivalist and adventurer Bear Grylls and shot in the India’s Jim Corbett National Park, will be a “frank and freewheeling journey”.
In a clip of the show that was shared by Grylls on his Twitter account, PM Modi can be seen riding a small dinghy in a river along with the adventure travel show host.
In his post Bear 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. #PMModionDiscovery”

However, it is now revealed that PM Modi was in Corbett, shooting for ‘Man vs Wild’ episode when the Pulwama attack happened. PM Modi did not go to Corbett during or after the Pulwama attack.

We ain’t proud of it, Cos when he was busy marketing himself we had lost 40 of our Brave Jawans to Terrorist attack in #Pulwama.

“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.
