In the series, Grylls “tackles extreme challenges and navigates through remote locations around the world, sharing invaluable survival strategies along the way”.
The 45-second sneak peek describes the episode as an “epic adventure of a lifetime”. Hyperactive Indians on the internet were thrilled at the prospect of this newfound source memes.
If Bear Grylls really wants to take Modiji to an uncomfortable environement, he should take him to a press conference.

The release of the promo gave new energy to the Congress party’s allegation that Modi had failed to stop shooting the episode after the Pulwama attack occurred on February 14. The suicide bombing left 40 Central Reserve Police Force men dead in Jammu & Kashmir.
Now world will see the reality, when there was #Pulwama attack going on, Our soldiers were martyrs for nation. @narendramodi was busy with @BearGrylls in shooting program for @DiscoveryIN Shame on You Modi ji.
