Vicky Kaushal shares his experience of being on Bear Grylls’s show

Discovery India’s special Into the Wild with Bear Grylls and Vicky Kaushal is set to premiere today on Discovery . Vicky is faced with challenges he has never thought of in his wildest dreams and is attempting to face his deep-sea water phobia and conquer it on this adrenaline-filled expedition.

Vicky says, “It was a wonderful experience going on this survival expedition with the world-famous adventurer Bear Grylls. If it wasn’t for him, I would have not been able to defeat my fear of swimming in this vast ocean. This journey also marks an incredibly significant chapter in my life as I was able to overcome and conquer one of my many fears. The thought of being in the middle of an ocean is not easy, but Bear’s constant motivation and determination has helped me rise out of this triumphantly.”

Adds Bear Grylls on his adventure with Vicky Kaushal, “Vicky was an incredible guest on so many levels…not only were we in some of the most hostile mangrove swamps on earth, but he also had to face open ocean swimming with sharks in the water, which was a huge obstacle for him! His story and his route to super stardom is so humbling, and his warm, infectious spirit is inspiring. You get to see a very raw, personal side of Vicky on this journey, and I am so proud of how he truly conquered his fears.”
