In a latest interview given to India Today, Kalpana said that her decision was due to dissatisfaction with the work she was getting. Reminiscing about her television days, Kalpana told how the environment of the industry had gradually changed for her. She said, “But then a lot of things changed. It became all about the same people, the same groups. I wasn’t part of any group, neither in the industry nor in television, and I wasn’t really happy with the kind of work I was getting. So what was the point in continuing?”

‘Does not believe in any kind of negativity’
Kalpana had gone to Dubai in the late 1990s. She further said that she was never out of reach and is now ready to work again. When asked if he ever sought help from his Hum Saath Saath Hain co-star Salman Khan, who is known for helping his colleagues, he said that he never did. He said, “I didn’t call anyone, not because I think it’s wrong. But Dubai is not so big that if you want to help me, you can’t find me…

I’m not going to find someone who will ask that person to cast me. If you are a sensible person, you would know about my existence, and if you think I deserve it, you will contact me, and if it doesn’t happen, then it means I was not worthy of it. We will leave it here. I will not blame anyone, nor do I believe in any kind of negativity.”

Ready for work again after viral moment
