<p>Agnivesh is the fifth male contestant on the show, which is dominated by female contestants like Pooja Bedi, Juhi Parmar, Shonali Nagrajan, Mehak Chahal among others.<br /><br />"I am not doing the show for money. I have never been a greedy guy, I was a professor of law in Kolkata when I left everything and came with one aim-- to change the society. Bringing about a change is my sole purpose and I think this is a strong and powerful medium by which I can spread my message.<br /><br />"By doing this show I want to pass on the message to our youth to come forward and bring about a change. I was very happy when I got this offer," Agnivesh told reporters here, ahead of his entry in the Bigg Boss house in Lonavala.<br /><br />The former member of Team Anna, Agnivesh had a bitter fallout with them when a video surfaced in which he was seen talking to an unidentified person asking him to deal strongly with the Gandhian. This led to his estrangement from Team Anna.<br /><br />When asked whether he would talk about Anna Hazare inside the house, Agnivesh said, "I have always been part of controversies. Since the day I decided to work towards my society I have been targeted and I don't fear these controversies but take them as an opportunity. I won't talk anything about Anna but if anyone asks me I will answer."<br /><br />Swami also said that he will try and share his spiritual thoughts with the contestants inside.<br /><br />"I will teach them yoga and meditation and will give them love. I have seen 2-3 episodes where they have been fighting but that doesn't bother me as they are better than the members of parliament who throw chairs, break micro phones and abuse each other - that's more embarrassing," he added.<br /><br />Bigg Boss is the Indian version of international reality show 'Big Brother' and is known for its controversial candidates that include actors, TV stars, a thief, a dacoits and politicians.<br /><br />Agnivesh will make an unlikely contestant on the show, which is popular for expletive-ridden catfights among its members, who are locked for three months under 24X7 camera surveillance.<br /><br /></p>
