Bollywood actor and director Amol Palekar, speaking at the ABP platform, emphasized that entertainment should not be mindless. He said, 'In front of stars like Dharmendra, Jeetendra, and Amitabh Bachchan, I was nothing. I couldn't even stand in comparison to them. Perhaps it was because I was nothing like them that people liked me. They saw me as an ordinary man, just like them.'
