The FAQ to PM Narendra Modi about Man vs Wild
PM Modi says this frequently asked question (FAQ) to him by people about Man vs Wild
"There is another interesting thing, some people ask me one thing albeit with some hesitation -Modi ji, you were speaking in Hindi and Bear Grylls does not know Hindi, so how did you carry on such a fast conversation between the two of you? Was this episode edited later? How many times did the shooting happen for this episode and how it happened? They ask with great curiosity," PM Narendra Modi said.
"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.
