Pune-based mountaineer Lahu Ughade has emerged as the winner of Discovery's Naked and Afraid: Aadimanav, becoming the first champion of the India adaptation of the globally popular survival franchise. The adventure reality show marked the franchise's debut in the Asia Pacific region and challenged six contestants to survive in the wilderness with limited resources.

Inspired by the instincts and resilience of the Aadimanav lifestyle, the show saw participants navigate the rugged landscapes of Palawan in the Philippines while battling harsh weather, unfamiliar terrain and extreme survival conditions.
