A Times Now report quoted him saying, "Bigg Boss called me saying 'Guruji, come. There is an offer of crores of rupees.' But I rejected it. I did not accept it because it was not matching with my culture and values. Money doesn't matter, my values matter. Bigg Boss is a program where abusive people live. They are not cultured people. Therefore it would not be right for me to go there. So I turned down that offer."
