Bollywood actress Geeta Basra has no regrets about the films she chose and is happy to go with the flow
There are two kinds of people in Bollywood industry, largely! (In fact, every person in Bollywood is different). Ones who don't what to miss the train and others who wouldn't mind not boarding an overloaded train and would rather wait till something better comes along. For the latter ones, it is the journey which is paramount. Actor Geeta Basra slips easily into the second slot. You won't see her pretty often on screen or on page 3 covers but the actor is happy with the ride so far. Travelling, signing endorsements and preparing for upcoming flicks, Geeta Basra talks only about present.
Character calling
Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari is back. And this time the script is based on her character in Bajatey

A woman in her fifties doing the lead for a full-fledged movie is not a common practice in
Bollywood. Trust Shashant Shah, who gave Dasvidaniya and Chalo Dilli, to do the unusual and you see promise when the woman in question happens to be Dolly Ahluwalia
Tewari! Vicky Donor made her come from the back of the stage (she is an immensely successful film costume designer) to the front and bag laurels.
