On the show, he shared his real life experiences while working in the forests for Madia Gonds (a tribal from Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra). “Our life may seem thrilling to the outside world but in reality, our work is extremely challenging. It's not easy to survive in a jungle when you are living with tribal people without the knowledge of their local language. Also, when you are hungry you cannot appraise the beauty of nature.” Dr Mandakini Apte, his better half, who is an equal contributor in his work was also present on the show.

Nirmiti Sawant, a well known Marathi stage and film actress, expressed her views on her professional life. “I am not dominating in nature at all; but when it comes to my work, I am an extremely serious person and cannot tolerate indiscipline.”
