Guru Aniruddhacharya on why he turned down Bigg Boss 18

At one of his satsang, he said, “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,” as per a report in Times Now. He also said, “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.” For those unaware, Guruji is founder of Vrindavan’s Gauri Gopal Ashram.
