Actor Sharad Kelkar, who will return to the small screen after a little over two years, says while his film commitments kept him busy, he didn’t take up TV offers as he does not believe in “over-committing” for money.

Asked why he was away from the TV scene, Sharad said here: “My films were on floors, and I won’t ever over-commit…Otherwise, you first sign up for something, then two, three months later, you say you can’t do it or you’re doing something else. There’s so much money involved in everything.”

“An actor should not take up assignments for so much money that he can’t do justice to every role. So, I won’t ever over-commit to anyone for money,” he added.
