Veteran Bollywood actress Meenakshi Seshadri has expressed her desire to return to acting after spending nearly three decades away from the film industry.
In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram, the actress said she has moved back to Mumbai from the United States and is now looking for meaningful acting opportunities in films and OTT platforms.
Meenakshi said she spent the last 30 years in the US focusing on her family life but has now returned to what she called her “karmabhoomi” or workplace, Mumbai, with renewed hope and passion for acting.
Addressing her followers, she thanked fans for their continued love and support and said she is open to strong and impactful roles, whether as a lead actor, supporting character or even in short-format projects.
“I’m looking forward to meaningful opportunities. It could be films or OTT shows. The role does not matter as long as it is impactful,” she said.
The actress also clarified that she is not trying to prove anything through her comeback.
“I’m not here to prove any point. I’m simply doing what truly makes me happy,” she added.
Meenakshi revealed that she had received several offers over the years, but some projects were not exciting enough while others did not materialise.
She also said she is currently managing her comeback journey on her own without any agency support.
In the caption of her post, Meenakshi mentioned that she is currently in Boston, USA, celebrating her son’s graduation from Harvard University.
She requested fans to continue supporting her and wished that someone’s blessings might help her find the right opportunity in the entertainment industry.
Meenakshi Seshadri was one of Bollywood’s top actresses during the 1980s and 1990s. She made her debut in the film ‘Painter Babu’ and later starred in several hit movies including ‘Hero’, ‘Meri Jung’, ‘Shahenshah’ and ‘Ghayal’.
