Pramod Muthalik tells Bipin Kumar Singh why he rejected the Rs 20-lakh offer
Is it true that the organisers of Bigg Boss have approached you?I received a call from the show’s organisers a month back requesting me to participate in its third season.
How many calls did you receive?They approached me four times. I asked them to contact my associates in Bangalore who they met.
Why do you fear participation?I don’t need to show my strength by participating in such a show.
How much money were you offered?
They said that the show’s winner will get Rs 1 crore as prize money and if I were to be eliminated mid-way, I’d get Rs 15-20 lakh.
Why did you say no?Since this has nothing to do with my ideology, I rejected it.
Bigg Boss family just keeps getting bigger with the big name of
Big B. After the rumors of yogi
