He said that reality shows that tests one's survival skills in the most inhospitable conditions had become a hit in India.

'Survival-based programmes that are both educative and adventurous are big hit among the Indian audiences. We received appreciation mails from people of all age groups,' Bakshi said.

He added that since viewers' interest was short lived, the latest programme too would not continue for too long.

'Viewers' likings or demands change very frequently. That is why we never stick to a particular programme and always run a few episode series of our shows. 'Survivorman' will be of just 13 episodes,' he said.
