This acting veteran has not let her passions for films remain in front of the camera. Her cinematographer turned director husband would have inspired her to do so. But his lady from the south chose to make her debut in English with Mitr-My friend starring Shobana. This film received accolades back home and abroad. It even won two national awards for Shobana as best actor and for the movie as Best English movie. This socially active personality next came out with a film on AIDS and even managed to rope in stars like Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Abhishek Bhachchan to play the lead roles and even elicited memorable performances out of them. She is now ready with her script for her script for her next movie again, sadly in Hindi. We are waiting to see her direct a movie in Tamil, is she hearing.
