A month after Ritesh Shaiwal represented India at the fitness reality show titled Ultimate Beastmaster, the pride in his voice is palpable. Shaiwal was one among 16 participants hand-picked from India to compete with other countries at the second season of the Sylvester Stallone-produced Netflix show. India may not have emerged winner, but Shaiwal recalls his tryst with the obstacle course spanning two football fields as one that can "test the human body".
