Adventure and Bear Grylls are synonyms to many and the perfect Discovery watch for those dreaming of living on the edge. If you talk about creative content around wildlife focusing on surviving the odds, beating them by scavenging for clean water, and staying alive on meager supplements then Bear Grylls is the ultimate OG show. It is the stuff that dreams of adventure-seekers are all about.
And the latest episode of Into The Wild starring Ajay Devgn is no exception. In this new episode the actor, who has carved a niche for him in the genre of high action drama in Bollywood, dives straight into the Indian Ocean without the slightest of hesitation.
The show starts with the spotlight on Devgn's filmography and his cinematic achievements with particular emphasis on his film Shivaay.
But the camera swiftly moves on to capture Devgn's appetite for thrill and adventure as Bear Grylls tells him about the dangers of the Indian Ocean. And soon we see Grylls and Devgn cutting their teeth into a series of raw and meaty tasks. In no time, Devgn is seen sweating out on the axe as he chops down forest wood, and even eats raw fish to "survive". From making an 'SOS' sign to swimming towards the only chance of survival, we see Devgn in his element like never before. There is a point when he is even quizzed about all the wild adventures, and activities that he has done in his real life. To which the actor reveals that he has been in street fights and gotten into trouble but doesn't disclose beyond that.
It was both surprising and refreshing to see Kajol challenge Devgn on the show. Messages also poured in from his other close friends including Rohit Shetty and Anil Kapoor. But beyond depicting his adventurous side, which the Indian audience is already in sync with, this episode captures the rare glimpse into the emotional side of Ajay Devgn as a father and a son. We hear him opening up about losing his father and talking about his kids Yug and Nysa. Speaking about the ups and downs in his star-studded life with utmost grace and poise.
But is Devgn able to survive the choppy waters of the Indian Ocean with the same fines? Watch the episode to know more!
