Did You Know? Rishi Kapoor Was The First Choice For CBFC Chairman
No one's aware of the fact that the popular senior actor, Rishi Kapoor, was offered the chairmanship of the Central Board of Certification by the ruling party's powers-that-be in New Delhi.

Aware that the position could lead to conflicts of interest and unnecessary tension, Rishi conveyed his 'No-Thank-You' politely.

Similarly, his wife Neetu Singh Kapoor was invited to be on the Examining Committee of the Censor Board, which she also declined politely.

The couple is firm about fair ethics and didn't wish to get into power seats.

The chairmanship of the Censor Board eventually went to Pahlaj Nihalani, who as everyone knows has demonstrated a 'sanskari' approach and has been enmeshed in countless controversies.

When SpotboyE contacted Rishi to confirm the story about the offer of the chairmanship of the Censor Board, he said right away, "Yes, that's correct. But I didn't want to occupy a hot seat. I'd rather continue doing what I think I'm best at. I am and always will be an actor."
