Modi talks of his 'positivity' on Bear Grylls' Man vs Wild

Indian prime minister also spoke of growing up poor and developing a love of nature

The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, joined Bear Grylls on the latter's survival TV programme Man vs Wild to talk about his relationship with nature and growing up in a poor family, all the while crossing a freezing river on a flimsy raft.

In the episode broadcast in India on Monday, the two men were filmed on the riverbank of the country's Jim Corbett National Park, with deer and a herd of elephants seen in the distance.
