Survivor India ' The Ultimate Battle, a reality show which promises to take its viewers on an adventurous journey has already been shot in Philippines with 10 contestants and our khoofiya khabroo reveals that Abhinav Shukla, J D Majitia and swimmer Bula Chuaudhary might be the ones who have made it to the top 3.
Abhinav Shukla is definitely one of the most adventurous guys you can find in the television industry. The actor, who is presently seen in Star Plus' Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hain, will soon be seen on the channels' upcoming creepy and exploratory reality show, Survivor India-The Ultimate Battle. Though Abhinav went all prepared, he got one of the biggest shocks and was revealed to one of the greatest secrets of the game-show.
It seems that the Star Network is not leaving any stone unturned to make their new channel launch a big hit. It is no secret that Star One is being revamped into Star Desh in the coming months but the truth states that the officials are planning to execute a huge marketing strategy to ensure that Star Desh is launched on a grand scale.Viewers can catch the experience live on ground from 11am and on starplus.in from 3pm onwards on January 6, as one person attempts to survive an entire day without the basic essentials of life.
On this day of the launch, celebs and the show's participants, Payal Rohatgi, Priyanka Bassi, Karan Patel, JD Majethia, Abhinav Shukla, etc will perform various show-related challenges at the mall.
The campaign will also encourage mall-goers to participate in a few challenges all day at the venue. For the first time ever, a radio channel will be airing its show live from the Survivor shack and a news channel will be hosting the show. "Survivor" originated in Sweden in 1997 and is now broadcast in many countries worldwide. In the US, it debuted in 2000 and is currently at its 23rd season on-air right now. The premise of the show is to test the spirit of people marooned on an uninhabited tropical island. Contestants are divided into two competing tribes. With every episode, the losing tribe needs to vote one of its members out.

New adventure series featuring 22 participants starts tonight
Twenty two participants will star in the opening season of the adventure series Garnier Fructis Presents Survivor India, starting tonight. The contestants will have to start their journey from scratch, i.e. form a society, forage for food and find shelter in extreme weather conditions, all the while braving creepy crawlies and other creatures of the wild on a deserted island. Having already aired in 70 countries, the show's Indian edition tagline says it all - Jo tikega woh itihaas likhega - and only the fittest and most ruthless will survive and win.
Controversies continue to dog Payal Rohatgi and the actress says it's hard for her to understand why she's always at the receiving end.
'I don't go out of the way to create controversies; I know some actresses pay their publicist money to create a controversy, but I don't know why this happens to me,' Payal told IANS.
'May be that's the way god wants me to learn from my experiences. It used to bother me earlier, but now it doesn't. I have crossed that stage of 'what people think about you',' she added.
Whether it's her romantic dalliance with her reality TV co-star Rahul Mahajan or her wearing a bikini during a water task in the second season of 'Bigg Boss' or accusing filmmaker Dibaker Bannerjee of seeking sexual favours, Payal has always hogged the limelight for the wrong reasons.
'I didn't want to enter the pool in swimwear or create those controversies. They (showmakers) created a task that had to be done in the water. Since it was water volleyball, I had to wear an outfit that suits the sport. But they clipped footage of mine entering the pool that was picked up by TV channels and converted into a controversy. It was not my fault,' she said.
'They could have shown a shot of me inside the water, but they shot me when I was getting inside the water, they (channel) were desperate to create TRPs,' she added.
However, she does credit the show for getting her recogniton.
'When I started off, nobody held my hand and told me what I should do and how I should portray myself as an actor. When I went to Mumbai, I was in the process of figuring out what is good for me. 'Bigg Boss' was a turning point. People started to relate to me...
'What films did not give me TV gave me. In films, may be I was lost or typecast. I was imagined in a particular way; I might not be. My identity as an indivdual became much stronger in 'Bigg Boss',' said Payal, who has done films like 'Plan', '36 China Town' and 'Dhol'.
Last seen in reality show 'Zor Ka Jhatka', Payal returns to the small screen with adventure reality show 'Survivor India' and the actress says it is her attempt to change her stereotype image.
'Yes, this show is an attempt to change the perception that was created in 'Big Boss'. This show will have a side of Payal that is much more blunt, honest and upfront. In 'Bigg Boss', there were so many things that I didn't say and as a result, people thought I was a fake. I have not let it happen in 'Survivor',' she said.
'Survivor India-The Ultimate Battle' is the Indian version of US reality show 'Survivor'. It goes on air Friday with 11 celebrity contestants and 11 commoners.
'It is about survival of the fittest, physically as well as mentally. It is not a luxury show; it is not a comfort zone show. Before going into the show, we all went through physical and psychological tests and those who were fit were selected. It was indeed challenging. I wanted to see how capable I am. I didn't want to be known as a weak link in the show and I survived my way into it,' she added.
Star Plus is all set to launch its next big reality show, Survivor India-The Ultimate Battle. The show is leaving no stone unturned as far as promotions are concerned. But its been heard that a few actors are upset with the kind of promotion the channel has been doing.
If 2011 was a challenging year, with the rate of failure of fiction and reality shows much higher than ever before, 2012 promises to be equally challenging and exciting. While the battle for eyeballs will continue, everyone will be looking for fresh themes, in both fiction and non-fiction, which will reflect in some of the early launches of 2012. Here is an overview of the shows to be launched on all channels:
STAR PLUS: Survivor India
Sangram Singh, one of the contestants on Star Plus' Survivor India-The Ultimate Battle was offered to be a part of Imagine's Swayamvar Season 4 - Veena Ka Vivaah, as one of the contestants.
