SALIL--'I have a great respect for Ekta K

What if he realized his mistake after the damage was done? What if he was shown the door before he could pack his bags gracefully? Like his stint with cricket, his innings with Sony's Big Boss ended in a disaster. So nothing new for this man with a checkered past.

For sure we are talking about Salil Ankola. The man in mention is making news for all the wrong reasons. His ouster from Sony's Bigg Boss was something which the actor had little anticipated. Adds Salil, "I realized quite late that I have signed a contract with Balaji and now I am back shooting for Karam Apnaa Apnaa."

Looks like our star of Kora Kagaz fame would have a better memory in future after being served court orders. So how was his experience being in the Big Boss show, and the stylish actor says, "I have fond memories of my stay in the Big Bosse's house. It was like living with a family we used to have fun together. I would surely remember this experience for the rest of my life".

And what does he feel about the fact that Ekta had to send him a legal notice to resume work. "Well, it's all about the profession. I don't harbour any hard feelings for this incident and I have a great respect for Ekta Kapoor. I was on a working contract with Balaji and if they sent me a notice as a reminder, it's all in the spirit of the profession."

So what is Salil busy post the Bigg Boss controversy? "I am back to work and have resumed shooting for Karam Apnaa Apnaa where I play Mahen the suave businessman"

Talk about his co-star Iqbal Khan who had recently announced his intentions of quitting the serial in December(Salil plays Iqbals father in Karam) the actor retorts, "Iqbal is currently shooting with me for Karam and I have nothing else to say regarding this matter.

Ya sure Salil....Once bitten is twice shy. And that's not a bad policy to adopt, we agree!
