The ultimate survival show first aired on television back in 2006, and celebrities like India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Barack Obama have already appeared in the programme.
In January 2020, southern Indian superstar Rajnikant also featured in the popular show for an episode that was shot in the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, located in the southern Indian state of Karnataka.
