And spend a fun summer with my family. I want to share that after my relocation to INDIA I have been working towards more opportunities in the entertainment industry.

"Even though this is my second inning, I have come again, and I want to be absolutely undefinable," added the 'Ghatak' actor.
Meenakshi Seshadri made her debut with the film 'Painter Babu', which was released in 1983 and produced by Manoj Kumar. The stunning actor shared that the veteran star only introduced him, and finally she got a role in Subhash Ghai's 1983 film 'Hero' starring Jackie Shroff opposite her.
