I did 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' for the money: Rahul Bose

The actor who was dubbed the 'superstar of Indian arthouse cinema' by Time magazine says that he has never made so much money in just 12 days in his entire life.

"I have never earned so much money in 12 days. The show was fun though all those insect challenges were bad but I enjoyed the other stunts," Bose said.

But Bose says that he will not participate in a reality TV show again.

"I just wanted to try it and now that I have done it once I will not do it gain," said Bose.

The actor who was in the capital for the Young Changemakers Conclave said that he did the show so that he could raise money for the Rahul Bose Foundation.

Bose who is known for his roles in films like English August, Mr and Mrs Iyer and Antaheen, is also excited about running the Mumbai marathon with the six children.
