NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday featured on the special episode of adventure show "Man vs Wild" with host Bear Grylls on Discovery channel and urged the world to live in harmony with the nature.PM Modi braved the rain and the cold in the jungles of Jim Corbett National Park , and as the host put it, the PM was a "great sport".In the show, Prime Minister spoke about his love for the nature and highlighted the importance of preserving wildlife, environmental conservation and climate change ."If you fight against the nature, then it is dangerous. But if you coexist with the nature, it helps you in return and there is no sense of fear," PM Modi said.PM Modi said that if we take anything from the nature, we should think that kids who are born 50 years from now will ask: Why did you spoil my share of clean air?"I am a vegetarian and I know the value of environment for animals," PM Modi said.Grylls, who has had celebrity guests before on his show, including former American President Barack Obama, asked Modi about his childhood, dreams as the prime minister, whether he feared anything in life and if he felt nervous before a political rally.Modi said he never had a good answer about “nervousness” because it was not a part of his experience."My problem is that I have never experienced such fears. I'm unable to explain it to people what nervousness is and how to deal with it because my in-built temperament is very positive. I see positivity in everything. And because of that reason, I am never disappointed."When Grylls asked whether he ever dreamt of becoming a prime minister, Modi said his focus has always been the development of the nation."I was the chief minister of a state first. I worked as a chief minister for 13 years, which was a new journey for me. Then my country decided I needed to do this job. So I have been doing this for the last five years."But the focus has been always been on one thing and that is development. And I am satisfied with that job. Today, if I consider this time as a vacation, then I must say I am taking a vacation for the first time in 18 years," Modi said.At the end of the hour-long show, PM Modi told his host " I enjoyed the time with you and the nature. I hope when people watch this special show, they would be motivated to visit India.""This would be good for tourism in India," he said.Such was the curiosity around the show that the hashtag #ManVsWild has been trending on top in India and worldwide it was trending at number 2.The hashtag #modiondiscovery was trending at number 2 in India and worldwide it was trending at number 20.Ahead of the telecast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that he had taken this as an opportunity to showcase India's rich flora and fauna and to emphasise on environmental conservation.Tweeting about the much-anticipated show, BJP leader Rajyavardhan Rathore said, "This is not Man Vs Wild. This is Man for the Wild".Union ministers Amit Shah took to Twitter and said it was a proud moment to see PM Modi share civilisational values on environmental conservation with the world.Last month, while sharing the teaser of the episode on Twitter, Grylls had said it will be an opportunity for people across the globe to see the unknown side of the Indian prime minister.In his response Modi had said the episode will contribute to the discourse of environmental conservation."India- where you find lush green forests, diverse wildlife, beautiful mountains and mighty rivers. Watching this programme will make you want to visit different parts of India and add to discourse of environmental conservation," the PM had tweeted.
