"Now, there is no secret in this. Many people have this question in their minds, so I will unravel this secret. Well, in a way it is no secret at all! The reality is that technology was used extensively in my conversation with Bear Grylls. Whenever I spoke immediately there was a simultaneous translation into English or simultaneous interpretation and Bear Grylls had a small cordless instrument in his ear, so I used to speak in Hindi but he heard it in English and because of that the communication became very easy and this is an amazing aspect about technology," spoke the Prime Minister, answering the frequently asked question.
