Quest for creativity

"It's surprising that an actress of her talent is getting recognition so late in her career," says Mrinal Sen, the doyen of Bengali cinema who first cast Suhasini Mulay in 1969 in Bhuvan Shome, one of the most path-breaking films of the past half a decade.
The then 16-year-old Mulay went on to win a national award for her powerful performance. She had to wait for an unbelievable 30 years before she could display her immense talent in Gulzar's Hu Tu Tu which too fetched her the National Award.
Since then, Suhasini Mulay has become a much in-demand actress and has been seen as Aamir Khan's mother in Lagaan and Akshay Khanna's mother in Dil Chahata Hai and Bobby Deol's grandmother in Humraaz.
Besides, she has started accepting roles on the small screen and is doing Puja Ka Ghar on Zee TV and Virasaat on Sahara.
But, by the look of things she's headed exactly that way. And unless a gifted writer like Gulzar, Javed Akhtar or Ashutosh Gowalikar comes up with some bright ideas, she has no choice but to accept the mother of all roles
