An uproar of waves and a mound of rock everywhere ' can you survive in desolation and exile on an island with strangers? What is it that makes Survivors? We got the dope straight from a few contestants all geared up to participate in STAR Plus' highly-anticipated show, Survivor India. Here's what they have to say...
Why are you on Survivor?
Shilpa Saklani: I am on Survivor simply for the experience. I don't think any other show can give me the chance to test myself like this. While I truly believe I am a strong person, I feel handicapped without my mother and husband. So I want to see if I can handle myself without their help, love and support.
Karan Patel: I want to challenge myself in all respects and see how strong I can be both mentally and physically. I think this is the best show that can help me do that.
Abhinav Shukla: Well, I am doing Survivor India simply because of the challenges it would hold. I am an adventure freak and go on routine camps and treks. I love pushing myself to the limits. I also want everyone to know the real Abhinav Shukla, and obviously I am being paid for it!
What are your preparations for the show?
Shilpa Saklani: I hate going to the gym and I gorge on junk food every 2 hours a day. My husband nags me a lot for this. Hence I've tried to go to the gym at least 3 days a week so that I can be fit and start eating healthy.
Karan Patel: I am going there with no expectations in my mind, except being mentally prepared. Once you are part of the Survivor gang, you can't back out. So I am just hoping to go with the flow.
Abhinav Shukla: I've just got my pyjamas stitched with patches, and practiced on mental focus to stay in complete wilderness.
What are you going to miss the most on the island?
Shilpa Saklani: I know it will sound clichd, but my husband, mum and dog are what I am going to miss the most. I also love junk food a lot, so that's another thing that will be very difficult for me to live without.
Karan Patel: It may sound a little stupid, but I will miss my bathroom the most, because I am told we will have to relieve ourselves in the open.
Abhinav Shukla: I am going to miss my adventure gear and trekking equipment the most besides my cars and bikes
