Amitabh Bachchan yesterday reacted to reports that he was apparently paid Rs 6.1 crore to endorse Doordarshan's Kisan channel.

Big B stated, `I have not entered into any contract with Doordarshan for endorsing their channel, DD Kisan, and neither have I received any money from them.`

He added that he worked with an advertising agency for the campaign of DD Kisan and did not receive any money from the agency either. The Big B said, `I work pro bono on various issues and DD Kisan channel is one of them.` The channel was recently launched to telecast information on agriculture and related subjects.
