Currently, this woman of many talents is winning hearts with her stint on Reality Ranis of the Jungle, produced under Warner Bros Discovery and hosted by Varun Sood. The adventure-based reality show premiered on Discovery Channel on September 23, 2024. Times Now/ Telly Talk India gets into an exclusive conversation with Eksha Kerung who tells us her experience shooting for Reality Ranis, how she juggles between her government job and modelling and much more.
Excerpts from the conversation: What led to that intense fight with Pavitra Punia that went viral? It is my first reality show and I had to survive in the jungle and all. I discovered about myself that I could scream that way. That clip went viral, so many memes.
It's the first time I shouted that way. Mujhe bhi nahin pata tha ki mere andar yeh cheez bhi hain. The environment was also like that.
WATCH THE FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW BELOW: You are a woman of many talents. You are a model, singer, cop, businesswoman and a biker too among other things. How do you manage all that? It's very tricky, energy draining and frustrating.
It's two sides of the coin that I am trying to juggle between and balance them well. Sometimes it gets difficult for me to manage. Thankfu.
