My sperm donation gesture was not a publicity stunt to get into Bigg Boss - Manish Naggdev

For actor Manish Naggdev, donating his sperms to a couple’s cause to becoming parents was a noble gesture done without any vested interests attached to it. And when the actor talked about this, he expected his industry friends to support him. However, it turned out to be the other way around. Says Manish, “Sadly, most of my so-called tellywood friends gave a completely wrong twist to my social mission. They thought I was doing this for publicity.” The talks going around is that Manish is slated to enter Colors’ upcoming season of Bigg Boss. On the weird reactions he got from the industry, Manish further states, “They keep calling me as ‘donor’. Whenever they call me by this name I fire back saying my name is Manish, please call me by the same. While people have appreciated my kind gesture, many of my fans have used social media to hail my decision which might help families become complete. It is so unfortunate that people in my own fraternity smell a conspiracy in everything. I am not that shallow to resort to such tricks. Also the media will not allow itself to be used like this.” Manish here accepts that he has been approached for Bigg Boss and does not deny that this controversy might in fact help him. However, he maintains, “But I did not create it. If a good deed helps, so be it.” He is also gung-ho about taking up the Colors non-fiction show. “I have been following all its preview seasons and am ready to play the game to survive all the way. I have never lived away from my parents, so it will be a challenge. Plus I am a phone freak, so let us see, how I survive without my Blackberry phone.” While this is the side mentioned by Manish, we learn that there is a twist in the tale. According to our source, it was Manish who contacted Bigg Boss creative team to find a spot in the reality series, but did not get a positive response from them, owing to his not-so-powerful graph. Tell Manish about this, and he is quick to state, “I never directly contacted anyone, as I know that when we ask for work, we will never get it. I had been called by them, but there is no final decision taken as of now.” Here, Manish outwardly rejects the assumption that he has got into the sperm donation act as a publicity stunt. “I have all the required paper work and can show it. It was a kind gesture on my part, and I don’t care if people misinterpret my cause.” Hmm, only time will tell Manish whether you make it to the Bigg Boss house or not!! As of now, your noble cause is appreciated…
