was completely above board.”

Remind him that he had expressed displeasure over a “too big helmet” on camera after a stunt and even threatened to walkout, and the actor says, ‘I’m a sportsperson.

. So I reversed my decision and stayed on for her sake.”

And did he ever regret doing that? “Never!” he exclaims. “Doing the show was a tremendous experience and all 13 of us got along genuinely well. There was no false camaraderie. Having played rugby, the dynamics of getting along with others is second nature to me.”

He insists that some of the stunts were brilliant and professionally handled and he never felt unsafe. He allowed Anne to take a call on which stunts she wanted to do and which he would take on. “It was important that she was comfortable because I knew that we would not get a second chance,” he points out. “Of course, we all had our off days. But the game was played by the rules and the end result was very fair.”

Given his sporting background, one had expected Bose to walk away with the grand prize? “Victory and defeat are not in your hands,” he says, adding with a smile. “I’ve been sharing a lot of Vedic philosophy with Anne. Hope it comes in handy sometime.”
