With more than 50 Pakistani films under her belt, when Meera chose to shift base to Bollywood, she was pretty much sure about her success.

Though things never went her way in tinsletown, yet she remains fairly ecstatic about her Bollywood sojourn.

"I never disappeared from Bollywood. I just went out for my work," she says. "I was in London shooting for the Lux ads and then I went to Australia. I was also in Pakistan shooting for Iqbal Kashmiri's Chandramukhi.

Now the director has requested Meera to sing two songs in his film so she'll be recording the songs in Pakistan. "I am looking forward to the recording of the tracks. I am nervous, but I am sure that my director will extract the best from me," she says.

Speaking about her career in the Hindi film industry Meera adds "Yes I lost four to five projects but now I am back and will soon begin work not on one but three projects. There's Mahesh Bhatt's Akelapan, Neeraj Sahai's Simran and another film with Feroz Khan. I am also listening to many story narrations.

I love India and aim to completely concentrate on Bollywood now. Inshaallah if God forbids I want to get married in Bollywood and have children. I want my children to act in Bollywod" reveals the actress from Pakistan.

When quizzed whether she was going to accept the role in Feroz Khan's Qurbani the actress smiles and says "The Pakistani Government has pressurized me into not accepting the film. Let's wait and watch. Maybe if Akbar Khan intervenes, the misunderstandings can be cleared"

When asked regarding the controversy on the Indo-American film Rocking Meera containing sequences from her real life.

"No one has the right to make a film on my life. Only director Mahesh Bhatt will be doing a film on my life, if ever he desires to do so. I am planning to produce a film now. The script has been penned by Javed Siddiqui.

I have not decided on the other cast and crew but am planning to approach Emraan Hashmi, Abhishek Bachchan and Ashmit Patel for the lead roles" she says.

Currently, Meera is busy rehearsing with choreographer Saroj Khan for the mujras she is going to perform in the film.

"I was very impressed with Madhuri's dancing in Devdas, so I wanted Sarojji to compose the mujras for me. She is a taskmaster, but at the end of the day, the result shows," she says.
