But any old role won't do for her. "I want to good films," she says. "It doesn't matter if it's a mainstream Bollywood film or an obscure, low budget, experimental effort."
On her comeback trail, Sarika has already had one release - Ruchi Narain's "Kal - Yesterday And Tomorrow". Her second film, Rahul Dholakia's "Parzania", is awaiting the attention of distributors.
"It is not important who is making the film. What is important is whether the film is what the director believes in. When I find a film and director like that, I will go out of my way to grab the role," she says.
The lady sure knows her mind. No wonder she is making waves despite being in films that cannot by any stretch of the imagination be described as high profile.
