Actress Genelia D'Souza says she has become more aware of the extent of poverty in India after hosting reality TV show "Big Switch", which featured 10 rich children who gave up their comfortable lifestyles to fulfil the dreams of slum children.
"I have seen the rich kids do some of the sweetest things for their slum friends. I have seen them going to the extent of collecting cow dung with their bare hands - and all this for someone they have no relation with. I had tears in my eyes that day and it really gave me a reality check," the 22-year-old said.
Though Genelia is happy with the way her small screen debut turned out, she isn't too sure if she will be seen on television shows again soon.

Genelia has been juggling between the southern film industry and Bollywood for the past five years but it was Imran Khan-starrer "Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na" that brought her to the forefront of Hindi movies.
Her latest movie "Chance Pe Dance", which paired her with Shahid Kapoor, released to average reviews Friday. Genelia is now working with the likes of Anees Bazmee in "It's My Life" and David Dhawan-John Abraham in "Hook Ya Crook".
Asked if there were any specific roles she wanted to do, Genelia said: "I have never planned my career. Whatever comes my way, I try and make the best of it."
