When Rannvijay Singha first shot to fame, most millennials knew him as 'that guy from Roadies! Since then, it's been a long journey from reality TV to OTT platforms and now as host of Safari India on Zee Zest, where he ventures into the wild. So, is he the Indian Bear Grylls?
I'm barely Grylls, he laughs.
Although his family is now based in Dubai, Rannvijay grew up as an 'Army brat' in India, which he says was, by far the best possible scenario for him. Having been exposed to a variety of sports and adventure from an early age, he played basketball at college in Delhi. A friend saw an ad for a show that was about people on bikes, going on adventures, and the rest is history.
Now, he has two amazing kids, his family is happy, and he has a very good life. You know of the butterfly effect? he asks. I wouldn't change any of this. -URVEE MODWEL BEAS MOD
