Have strong allergy to this word comeback, says Amol Palekar

Veteran actor Amol Palekar, who is all set to return to Television, says he has a strong allergy to the word comeback.
The 70-year-old actor will be seen on the small screen in the upcoming Hindi TV show 'Roshni... Ek Nayi Ummid', which will be soon aired on 'Like OK' channel.
"I have a strong allergy to this word comeback. I don't think there is any kind of comeback. I was an actor by accident. So how that accident happened that I have said several times," the 70-year-old actor said here.
"But I chose to become a filmmaker and so I stopped acting. But having stopped acting I had never closed the shop if there was something interesting, challenging, different I would be happy to do so," Palekar said.

"'Roshni...Ek Nayyi Ummid' is a medical drama based on the backdrop of clash of ideologies within the family.
"I liked the content, the approach of the production team and whatever was told and promised to me is happening I am enjoying it. I was very happy to be part of this show," the 'Golmaal' star said.

Industry colleagues of Palekar had warned him about the long working hours of television.
"I had heard horror stories about television scenario from my colleagues and particularly daily soaps how they shoot, how people have to work round the clock.
"I was assured that nothing of that sort happens here and I can vouch for that we are working nicely as professionals and enjoying our work," he added.
