Pop-up: Sky Walker returns to TV after four years - TOI article.

He was at the peak of his career, when,
following a stint in 'Bigg Boss', he suddenly
quit acting. Now, four years later, Akashdeep
Saigal, who changed his name to Sky Walker,
is back to doing what he does best "
wreaking havoc in the protagonist's life on
TV shows.
The actor is returning to the studios with
the historical show, 'Sher-E-Punjab:
Maharaja Ranjit Singh', in which he will play
the antagonist, Pir Muhammad.
What kept him away for so long? "I lost my
mother. I was extremely attached to her and
after her death, I lost interest in everything.
It took me a while to bounce back, but
when I returned, I took up projects down
South. I have always been passionate about
everything I do. Now that I am back, I will
give more than 100 per cent to acting. I am
more evolved, grateful and serious about my
craft," he replies.
Now that he is more 'evolved', has he gotten
rid of his temperamental avatar that we saw
on 'Bigg Boss'? "Such shows tend to create
drama inside the house because fights sell.
People like voyeurism. There are lovely
moments as well, but one can pack only so
much in an hour's telecast. The makers
create an image for every contestant and
show footages matching that. Having said
that, I could have done better," he explains.
What about him accusing the host Salman
Khan of sabotaging his career? "That's a
thing of the past. I wish him all the best.
People make mistakes. Time changes
everything," he says. On the personal front,
Sky has been single ever since he broke up
with his girlfriend of two years, Pooja Bedi.
"She is a wonderful person; in fact, there
were times when I would wonder if that
was for real. She is the best person I have
known. We were two strong personalities
and hence, clashes were bound to happen,"
he says, adding, "I may be single, but every
man requires feminine energy to bring
balance in life. My perception towards
women has changed after my mom's
death."
