Koena Mitra gears up for second innings in Bollywood

Model-actress Koena Mitra, who has been away from the Hindi film industry for seven years, is back again. She says she has no regrets about keeping away from showbiz.

Her last appearance in a Hindi film was in the 2008 movie "Anamika".

"The offers I was getting were not good. I did not think doing them will be good for me, so I utilised my time. I don't regret it," Koena said here Tuesday at a jewellery store launch.

"I hope whatever work I will do from now people will acknowledge and like it," she added.

Koena is now back from Los Angeles for a film here and she is looking forward to it.

"This year I will do only one film for which I have come back from Los Angeles," the 31-year-old said.

Talking about her stay in Los Angeles, Koena said: "I was training there, completed two films and it was a very good experience as I learnt sports, editing and Acrobats. I learnt many new things."
