New Delhi, July 29: 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.

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 another scene, PM Modi is seen welcoming Grylls to India and holding up a weapon carved out of bamboo and other material collected from the forest and saying, “Main aapke liye isko mere paas rakhunga (I will keep this with me for you).”

To this, Grylls replies with a laughter, “You are the most important man in India, my job is to keep you alive.”

The show has been shot as a means to promote awareness on animal conservation and environmental change.

The show will air on Discovery Channel on August 12 at 9pm.
