Ram Kapoor rejects Bigg Boss 19

In a recent interview with Filmibeat, the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain actor made his stance crystal clear. “I will never ever come in Bigg Boss even if they offer me 20cr because that kind of show is not for me. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad show, I know it’s a very very successful show. My point is, I consider myself an actor.”

He further added, “These kind of shows although they are very successful but they are just voyeurism. Bigg Boss or any kind of reality show, you are not showing any talent, it’s just voyeurism. It’s just people liking to see other people’s life. That’s fine. It’s not for me. I am a very private person. I would be the worst person for Bigg Boss”.
