- Grylls asked Modi about his childhood, dreams as the prime minister, whether he feared anything in life and if he felt nervous before a political rally

Modi said he never had a good answer about nervousness because it was not a part of his experience. "My problem is that I have never experienced such fears. I'm unable to explain it to people what nervousness is and how to deal with it because my in-built temperament is very positive. I see positivity in everything. And because of that reason, I am never disappointed." 

-When Grylls asked whether he ever dreamt of becoming a prime minister?

 Modi said his focus has always been the development of the nation. "I was the chief minister of a state first. I worked as a chief minister for 13 years, which was a new journey for me. Then my country decided I needed to do this job. So I have been doing this for the last five years. But the focus has been always been on one thing and that is development. And I am satisfied with that job. Today, if I consider this time as a vacation, then I must say I am taking a vacation for the first time in 18 years," Modi said.

- On being the country's prime minister, Grylls asked whether he ever pinched himself.

"It never occurs to me who I am. I am above all this. When I was a chief minister and even now as the prime minister, I only think of my work, my responsibilities. My position never goes to my head," PM Modi added.
