Netflix’s interactive special ‘Ranveer vs Wild with Bear Grylls’ premiered on July 8 and has given the internet food for thought. A video snippet of the actor smothering Grylls with kisses has become a collective reason for the internet to cringe. The video captures the two in a helicopter above the wilderness. A relieved Ranveer plants kisses on a visibly uncomfortable Bear’s face.
Social media users promptly went online to share their feelings of the display. One Instagram user wrote, “Probably the scariest moment of Bear Grylls’ life.” “Borderline assault,” a Twitter user wrote, sharing the clip. “That clip of Ranveer Singh with Bear Grylls is so uncomfortable. What is wrong with Ranveer? You can see the discomfort on Bear Grylls’ face,” another person commented. More humorous reactions to the clip included memes featuring Deepika Padukone, and comedian Zakir Khan saying, “Yeh hamara ladka nahi hai (We don’t know this man).” Another person wrote, “I’ve seen this man drink his own piss out of a snake carcass… and he looked more comfortable doing that.”
The segment follows the same format as many of Grylls’ earlier survival shows but includes an interactive element through which audiences at home can determine how Ranveer reacts to certain situations.
