Kaun Banega Crorepati winner turns down reality show offer

"I have turned down the proposal received from the Colours TV channel.. Big Boss producer Endemol India officer Ninad Raikar made the proposal to me on Wednesday night", Kumar told PTI here.

"After winning the jackpot, the image I gained in the country will be affected if I take part in the reality show," he said, adding the reports appearing in a section of media about possibility of my participation in Big Boss were "concocted and wrong".

After becoming brand ambassador of MNREGA, I have also received a proposal from State Bank of India for becoming its ambassador for Bihar and Jharkhand, Kumar said adding he was yet to take a decision.

In reply to a question, he said he was impressed by the gesture of Congress president Sonia Gandhi during his recent meeting in New Delhi in presence of Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh.
