Adventure enthusiast Bear Grylls recently joined Akshay Kumar and his Bell Bottom co-star Huma Qureshi for an Instagram Live session.
During the chat, Khiladi and Bear spoke about shooting for the 'Into the Wild' special episode at Bandipur National Park and Tiger Reserve in Karnataka, surviving in the wild and if they plan to work together again.
It was when Huma asked them about the “elephant poo tea” that they were seen drinking in the show’s promo, the actor revealed that it really wasn’t a big deal for him as he drinks cow urine every day for Ayurvedic reasons. This revelation seems to have stunned fans.
Grylls acknowledged that even though he did not know Akki personally, he instantly knew he was a “fun guy with no ego”. Impressed with the actor's fitness, Grylls said, “Out of all the guests we have had over the years, he is definitely Tier-1.”
When asked if he was worried about surviving in the wild, Akshay said, "I wasn’t worried. I was too excited to be worried." On working in the future, the host said, “Will be great to do something else with him. Maybe another show.”
The special episode will premiere on September 11 at 8 pm on Discovery Plus. It will be available on the Discovery channel on September 14 at 8 pm.
