"Right now, all I can say is that I���m waiting for the script. I never expected such wonderful things to happen after my decision to return to films.

The block about married actresses is more in the individual���s mind," Chitrangada said. After a stellar performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (HKA) and Kal: Yesterday And Tomorrow, Chitrangada quit the film industry because she felt betrayed. But, now she is back for good. Delhi Belly is a Delhi-based sex comedy that will feature Aamir in a pivotal role. Director Abhinay Deol, who had earlier shot an ad with Chitrangada, had his heart set on casting her in his first feature film.
The Sudhir Mishra discovery is increasingly being seen as the new age Smita Patil. "It���s uncanny. Sudhir would say so during the making of HKA and now during Sorry Bhai, Shabana Azmi kept saying the same. I believe Shabanaji and Smitaji were close friends. In a way, Shabanaji has been my only idol. When I set out to do my first film, my only reference was Shabanaji. To work with her so early in my career was a little daunting. She plays my prospective mother-in-law in Sorry Bhai and I have some important emotional scenes with her. She turned out to be very encouraging and nurturing," says the actress.
Chitrangada is enthused about her second innings. Says she, "Now, I���m more sure than ever that this is where I���m supposed to be. Acting is my calling. Of course, there���s still a sense of insecurity. Fortunately for me, I���ve started well. It was a pleasure working with the Sorry Bhai team. I went with some nervousness considering this was my first film in three years and I was going to be with them for 30 days in Mauritius. By the end, it felt like a family."
