Ram Kapoor reveals rejecting Bigg Boss offer years ago
Ram Kapoor told Pinkvilla, "Towards the beginning of Bigg Boss, many years ago, the creators had offered me a sh*t amount of money, a really serious amount of money. They were very surprised when I said no because it was a lot of money."
He explained that by accepting this offer, he could have easily made money in three months, which would have taken him a year to achieve. Ram said that a senior creative had come to his house to convince him to participate in the controversial reality show
Why did Ram Kapoor reject Bigg Boss offer earlier?
The 51-year-old actor explained his reason in detail for not doing the show and said, "I will never ever do a show like Bigg Boss, not because it's a bad show. Those kinds of reality shows are something that I cannot think of doing, because I like to see myself as a trained actor."
He explained that he has studied method acting for four years, and his approach to acting is a certain way.
Ram continued, "Bigg Boss is a show about voyeurism. People are getting locked up, and you are just watching. There is no talent. You are not singing, dancing or doing anything. It's just voyeurism, which is fine. Everybody who does it, good for them. It is something I cannot ever think of doing."
The Mistry actor added, "For example, the kind of person I am, when I enter that house, the first thing I'll say is 'Why am I being made to do things. Excuse me, F off'. I don't go to a house to do this task or that task, I will show them the middle finger. When I am at home, nobody tells me what to do. So, I am the wrong person for it. My mind will never allow me to do a show like Bigg Boss ever."
Ram said that he shared this explanation with the makers and denied the offer for the show years ago. He disclosed that he told the makers, "You are offering me great money. But if you offer me Rs 20 crores also, I can't think of doing it."
