The prosthetic make-up was causing health issues: Harjot Singh on quitting ‘Alibaba: Ek Andaaz Andekha'

Sony SAB show ‘Alibaba: Ek Andaaz Andekha: Chapter 2’ has been in the news since a long time. The makers roped in actor Abhishek Nigam to play the titular role in the show. 

India Forums has exclusively learned that actor Harjot Singh who played the character of Ghoul in the show has decided to quit the show. In a candid chat with us, Harjot revealed that he was facing health issues because of the prosthetics used on his skin for the character.

Harjot said, “The prosthetic make-up for the character was quite a tiring procedure. To top it all, we had to work for around 10 to 12 hours daily in that make-up. This was causing health issues to me. My skin was infected. My reports also show liver infection that is caused because of the chemical used on the face. I don’t want to risk my health further and thus I decided to step back from the role”.

He added, “I played Vishchal in Sony SAB’s previous show ‘Hero: Gayab Mode On’. In that show as well, there were prosthetic make up used on my face. Somewhere down the line, as an actor, I want my face to be seen so that my viewers can connect with me. This is also one of the reasons why I decided to quit the show”.

Here’s wishing Harjot best of luck for his future endeavors.
