PM Modi Reveals How Bear Grylls Understood His Hindi on Man vs Wild Episode

Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed a question that several viewers of the Man vs Wild episode featuring the Prime Minister had been left pondering about — how he and Bear Grylls managed to effortlessly converse despite speaking in different languages.

"There is no mystery to this," Modi said. "Technology was used in my interaction with Bear Grylls. Whenever I would say anything, within moments it would be translated into English. A simultaneous translation would be transmitted to a small device in his ear. This made our interaction easy."

In the most recent instalment of Mann ki Baat, PM Modi launched a 'Fit India' movement that aims to "keep the country fit" and a mega festival on October 2, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
