/> In case you've been wondering where Deepti Naval has been hiding, here's a curtain raiser for things to come in this talented actress' career.

Deepti is not only on the verge of a brand new film release Yatra, she's all set to attend a retrospective of her films in Los Angeles on 19 April.

"It's at the Indian Film Festival. It's an honour because I don't generally get honoured in this way," laughs Deepti. "And last year they had honoured Naseeruddin Shah. So I'm in august company. They'll be showing some of my best works, like Main Zinda Hoon, Kamla, Ankahee and Panchvati. It feels good to have your work being thus honoured."

Deepti is also very proud of her work in Goutam Ghose's Yatra. "I play Nana Patekar's wife. The last time we got together it was in Shakti, and again I really enjoyed myself, though I had only one important scene with Nana."

She's on the verge of signing another film with Nana. Then there's the sequel to Saath Saath , one of her most beloved films. "I'd love to get together with Farouq Sheikh again . We did some of our best films together."
