Mumbai, Oct 24 Even as more and more Bollywood stars are hosting television shows, actor John Abraham promotes a reality show but refuses to join the medium in the near future.

Abraham flagged off a hand-pulled cart race organised for the promotion of a reality show that would showcase super rich class and poor would be living together in the real slum in Mumbai.

The show titled 'Big Switch' would bring together ten contestants from both rich and poor worlds.

The show would demand rich class contestants to perform tasks like selling trinkets at a traffic signal, polishing boots at railway station, collecting garbage and selling fish in order to fulfil demands of their poor buddies in order to win.

And the dreams would include a new home for their family, owning a beauty parlour, getting college education and opening an event management company.

Abraham said that the show has a unique concept and is one of its kinds in the country.

"I think it's a great concept. We have some of the participants out here, the superrich and the dreamers, all behind me. I have had the opportunity to meet them because I went as the guest for the finale," said Abraham.

However, he refused to enter the medium.

"I am very sure that at least for another 10-15 years I don not want to do TV. I will not do TV. I am very clear about it," he added.

Actress Genelia D'Souza would be hosting the show. 'Big Switch' is latest entrant to the reality show line-up hosted by Bollywood actors.

Reality shows are popular among Indian audiences, but some local versions of global series have even stirred controversy. (ANI)
