"These years have a lasting impact on my life. "For years, I have lived among nature, in the mountains and the forests," Discovery quoted Modi as saying in a statement. Modi said he had grown up in nature and the programme with Grylls was a chance to showcase India's rich wildlife.

"You are the most important person in India, it's my job to protect you," Grylls tells Modi.

A trailer for the programme shows Modi, 68, driving into the Jim Corbett National Park in northern India guided by Grylls, with images of a tiger, a herd of elephants and deer running in the distance.
