Sheeba (TOI photo)She romanced the likes of Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar on the big screen a few years ago.
Later like many other actresses of her time, Sheeba settled down into marital bliss. But as they say, once an actor always an actor. The doe-eyed actress is back once again, although this time, it��s on the small screen.
Viewers may recall seeing her in the serial Karishma three years back and Sheeba can be seen in Sujata these days, as the career-minded, single woman Roshni.So what prompted her to get back into showbiz once again?
��Primarily, I was lured by the role that was really interesting. I liked the concept of the show. Everything just fell into place,�� says Sheeba. After Karishma, the actress received plenty of offers to act in television but Sheeba says nothing appealed to her enough. ��I have a mental block against regressive saas-bahu roles.

Also, sometimes the money wasn��t right, at times the roles weren��t great,�� she says. And Sheeba wasn��t willing to return to acting at the cost of her family. ��My kids are my priority now, so I didn��t want to take up anything that wasn��t worth giving up my time with them,�� she clarifies.
But the actress has been busy these years. ��I was with my kids, working out, meeting friends. It��s all been very rewarding,�� she says with a smile.

Apart from this show, Sheeba��s also doing a Bhojpuri film with Shatrughan Sinha. ��I have been saying no to regional films for years now but this one appealed to me,�� she says. Hindi film offers are also coming in and Sheeba hints that she might be soon be acting in one. But she is very well aware that she won��t be given lead roles now. ��I��m quite realistic about these things. I can��t be wearing mini skirts and dancing around trees again! Neither is it going to suit me nor is it going to gel with my mentality. But for sure I would like to do roles with substance,�� she says. Sheeba��s happy that actresses in her agebracket are being given meaningful roles. ��This is the perfect time. All interesting roles are being written for actresses in my age-bracket,�� she adds.
