'YOU NEVER GET BORED OF ACTING'

Rajshri Productions’s 1975 film Geet Gaata Chal starred Sarika in one of her very first roles as an adult.

- 

Several decades later, she returns to the banner to essay a pivotal part in Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, slated to open in cinemas on November 11.

Recalling her first film with the Rajshri studio, Sarika tells Contraved my eyebrows. Then they thought my forehead was very small.”

It seems to be a true homecoming for you with Rajshri Productions after Geet Gaata Chal. How excited are you?

Very excited. Emotionally happy.

We do not realise it, but we want to do so many things, but rarely do we get a chance to do them.

So there is a lot of gratitude that the universe gives you that chance. I feel I should do a lot of things.

When you have that chance to do that, it’s wonderful.

There is a lot of excitement because we have all gone through this journey and we are all very proud of what we have done because it is done with a lot of honesty, hard work and love.

Though the trailer has received a great response, a lot of people from the younger generation may ask what is there for them in the film.

People are getting caught in these age traps. They do not understand that this film is for all ages.

I am trying my level best to make them understand that you are perceiving it wrong.

You would do the same for your friends that these people (in the film) are doing.

It has nothing to do with age except that it is difficult, but it is the same.

Uunchai is for all age groups.

You return to Rajshri Productions after decades. How did you react when they approached you for Uunchai?
