Akshay Kumar reveals he drinks cow urine every day
Bear Grylls recently joined Akshay Kumar and his Bell Bottom co-star Huma Qureshi for an Instagram Live session. During the chat, Akshay and Bear spoke about shooting for the Into the Wild special episode at Bandipur National Park and Tiger Reserve, surviving in the wild and if they plan to work together again.
Huma asked them about the “elephant poo tea” that they were seen drinking in the show’s promo. Akshay revealed that it really wasn’t a big deal for him as he drinks cow urine every day for Ayurvedic reasons.
Bear Grylls acknowledged that even though he did not know Akshay Kumar personally, he instantly knew that he was a “fun guy with no ego”. He also mentioned Akshay’s “humility” and how it came across in his demeanour. Bear was quite impressed with Akshay’s fitness and said, “Out of all the guests we have had over the years, he is definitely Tier-1.”
When asked if he was worried about surviving in the wild, Akshay said that with Bear, he knew he was in good hands. “I wasn’t worried. I was too excited to be worried,” the Bell Bottom actor said. Bear mentioned that he enjoyed this journey with Khiladi Kumar as he likes to try new adventurous things. The Into The Wild host added that the best part about doing such shows is that people can see their favourite celebrities in a “normal human way, without the gloss.” Huma Qureshi then asked the two if they plan on working again to which Bear said, “Will be great to do something else with him. Maybe another show.”
The special episode of Into the Wild with Bear Grylls featuring Akshay Kumar will premiere on September 11 at 8 pm on the streaming service Discovery Plus. It will be available on the Discovery channel on September 14 at 8 pm.

Confident we are going to win Kerala: Shashi Tharoor
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Thursday expressed confidence in the victory of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, saying the Congress-led alliance will win more than 75 seats out of the total 140 in the state.
Tharoor, who hails from Kerala, said he was not surprised to see the results of the exit polls, most of which predicted a victory for the UDF that has been out of power for 10 years in the state.
"We have been on the ground. I have campaigned in 59 constituencies across 12 districts out of 14. I was very confident we are going to win.
"Everything that I have picked up from not just my party colleagues and workers but also from other observers, media and others have always convinced me that we were going to score a comfortable win of above 75 seats. And all the (exit) polls have confirmed the same thing," he told reporters here.
The Thiruvananthapuram MP said he was not surprised to see the results of the exit polls but in general he was not a big fan of exit polls in India.
"Because ours is not purely a homogenous society. We have to take into account gender issue, caste issue, class issue, regional disparities. You never get a convincingly large enough sample to give an accurate poll and now there is the additional complication that we have heard about in West Bengal this year that many people are unwilling to answer the questions of the pollsters," he said.
The Congress leader said normally, it used to be below 10 per cent that people said that they would not answer.
"Even if you are a reputable exit pollster, in Bengal, one polling company has said 60 per cent of people refused to answer. So, what is the worth of a poll where 60 per cent of your respondents have not answered," he said.
Several exit polls on Wednesday predicted a comeback by the Congress-led UDF in Kerala after 10 years, dethroning the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF).
Polling for the 140-member Kerala assembly was held on April 9. Results of assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Puducherry, besides Kerala, will be announced on May 4.
