Palak is gearing to make her big screen debut in Salman Khan’s action-comedy Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. She had previously been an assistant director in the superstar’s feature, Antim. In an interview with ETimes, when asked if she chose films over TV as the medium hasn’t evolved since the time her mother began her journey, the actor said that isn’t case.

“I would never dare to say anything about television that has a negative connotation because where I’m in life today or whatever I have achieved today be it my house or my car or money for my education all has been given to us by TV,” she said.

Palak said the reason why she didn’t explore TV was because her mother did “everything that had to be done” and even if she had gone ahead, there would have been “inevitable comparisons” with her.

“So I thought I might as well do something new instead of doing something that she has already done and excelled at.” Palak said growing up, she thought everyone’s mother would come on TV and would ask others “at what time their mother is coming on TV.”

Also starring Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal and Siddharth Nigam, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is scheduled to release on April 21.
