How they will live
For the next two months, they will sleep in the open on makeshift haversacks with jungle creatures for company. They will have to cook with firewood, wash and clean in running streams and have an open-air bath or fill tubs of water to bathe in a makeshift wooden bathroom and toilet. They will only be provided rice and soya beans everyday and will have to do physically enduring tasks to win a variety of food rations. This includes a Junglee Dinner that involves sticking your head into a bowl of leeches or scorpions to gather food rations.u00a0

What they will reveal
Sooner or later, the past catches up with you. So apart from tasks and their daily chores, they will gossip the highpoint of any reality show. So will Marc Robinson talk about ex flame Preity Zinta and Akashhdeep Saigal about Farah Khan? There is also the Aman Verma and the Ruchi reporter episode. Meanwhile Shweta, Palak and Fiza have their own stories to reveal.u00a0

Voice of reason
When emotionally or physically hurt, the participants can enter the Jungle Daak Ghar to air their grievances in front of the camera which will help them overcome their situation.

Work in progress
From the past several months, the channel has been putting big bucks into the show that is produced by the format owners ITV/Silverback along with the Alva Brothers' Miditech Productions. Though the Malaysian authorities had plans of developing the place, it gave up its plans halfway. Now the spot is a beehive of activity with makeshift production offices, over a 100 crewmembers from several countries as well as miles of cables for the several hidden cameras.

Most of the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here series have been shot in the Australia outback, this is the first time it is being shot in Malaysia. As soon as the Indian show is over, the Swedish version will also be filmed there.

Marc Robinson: This is alien turf for me. I had my apprehensions but I'm game for it... to add to my experiences in life.

Fiza: I was the last-minute entry to the show. Initially, I was a bit hesitant as all the rest are from the showbiz world. Hopefully, I will last for a week or so! In the past few months, I have been under the media scanner due to my ex-hubby Chand Mohammed.u00a0 I wonder what will be said now!

Shweta Tiwari: People have seen me in soaps playing a character all this while, now here is a chance to see the asli Shweta. Also man survived the jungle years ago, let's see if I can.

Chetan Hansraj: Though I have taken part in an earlier Fear Factor series and even won it, this was an opportunity to test my endurance levels again.

AkashHdeep Saigal: I have done a reality show earlier that involved dancing, now I will do a rumble in the jungle.

Aman Yatan Verma: I played several roles on television, now the audience can see Aman as he is, without mouthing any pre-written dialogues.

Anaida: Simply for the singularly unique experience I have never ever done reality shows.

Ishq Bector: I want to get into the hearts and homes of the people and what better way than through their television sets?
