  Recently, In the year 2020, Altun et al. \cite{AL} introduced the notion of
$p$-proximal contractions and discussed about best proximity point results for
this class of mappings. Then in the year 2021, Gabeleh and Markin \cite{GB}
showed that the best proximity point theorem proved by Altun et al. in
\cite{AL} follows from the fixed point theory. In this short note, we show that
if the $p$-proximal contraction constant $k<\frac{1}{3}$ then the existence of
best proximity point for $p$-proximal contractions follows from the celebrated
Banach contraction principle.
