Madhuri Dixit
Living in anonymity, far far away from the glitz and glamour and the flashing cameras is a hard thing. Ask Madhuri Dixit and she’ll tell you why. It was no wonder that she packed her bags last year and decided to shift to Mumbai once and for all to face the arc lights again.
These days we hear that the actress had been filling up her schedule with endorsements and reality shows.
Other notable actresses desiring to relive the glory of their successful acting careers are Karisma Kapoor, Manisha Koirala and Raveena Tandon. Apart from promoting her upcoming movie ‘Do Paise Ki Dhoop, Char Aane Ki Barish,’ which has been directed by actress Deepti Naval (‘Mirch Masala’) Manisha is rumored to have signed up for a Malayalam movie. The buzz is that the movie will explore the relationship between an Indian and a Tibetan and that it will be shot in English as well.Raveena Tandon already embraced the spotlight last year when she appeared in a cameo for ‘Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap.’ Now, rumors are abuzz that she has signed on reality shows as well as new films.
But the actress who everyone is waiting to watch on-screen is Karisma Kapoor. Bebo’s elder sister who was quite a sensation in the 90s’ with her svelte figure and fashionable clothes will make her comeback with Vikram Bhatt's ‘Dangerous Ishq.’ Industry insiders say that Karisma will also feature in the remake of the 1982 classic ‘Satte Pe Satta.’ When Kareena was approached for comment she said that her sister was busier than her nowadays!
One wishes these ladies all the luck. But the point is will the audience who dream of the Katrinas and Deepikas give these divas a chance again?
