Ravi didn’t want to be in Bigg Boss 2 - An article

Not many are aware that Pooja Bedi was not the first choice for the weekend anchor on Bigg Boss 2. The first choice was the former inmate Ravi Kishen, who after gaining popularity through his stint in the first season of Big Boss 2, has now got back to his first love, Hindi films from where he had dropped out to do TV and then went on to become a Bhojpuri star. After doing a series of entertainment programmes on Zee TV, he was called back to anchor the weekend episode of Bigg Boss 2 by Colors, but he refused.

His business manager Badshah Khan says that Ravi Kishen wants to focus on his movies. "They wanted him but he has been shooting in South Africa for the past one month. He is doing a film called Luck for Ashtavinayak, where he is playing one of the lead roles along with Shruti Hassan and Imran Khan. The film is being directed by Soham Shah. He has been getting a lot of TV offers from 9x as well as many other channels. But he wants to concentrate on the movie offers now," says Badshah Khan.
