The veteran actor is now preparing for a highly anticipated return to acting nearly three decades after her last major appearances.

I want to share that after my relocation to INDIA I have been working towards more opportunities in the entertainment industry. While there have been offers, they were either not exciting enough or just didn’t work out. I’m seeking the good wishes and blessings of all you wonderful fans.” Her words reflect both personal joy and professional determination as she re-enters the industry she once dominated.
