I'm too young for a comeback: Ameesha Patel
By Soumyadipta Banerjee, Mumbai Mirror | Nov 28, 2012, 10.23 AM IST
"I am not upset at all," she chirped, "I am in London on personal work and I will be back in Mumbai soon."
Having said that, she does not challenge the fact that her role is way smaller than that of the other leading ladies. "It (the length of the role) doesn't matter to me," emphasises the actress who has been specialising in 'special appearances'. "Look, I just did a guest appearance in the film Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic (released in 2008) and yet I got noticed so well. The quality of the role matters, not the length," she says, adding, " I have a pivotal role in the film and the importance of my character is no less than the other lead characters," she says.
Small but significant - does that sum up her great come back gamble? Ameesha shoots back. "Who said I am aiming at a comeback with this film? The term 'comeback' only works for the likes of Madhuri (Dixit) or Sridevi. I am too young to be slotted in that bracket. I have always been around. Just busy with my production house, that's it."
Err... but when was her last release again? Ameesha quips: " I had a release in 2011. The film was called Chatur Singh Two Star which had Sanjay Dutt in the lead. (It turned out to be one of the biggest flops in Dutt's career). You cannot blame me if people didn't watch the film."
We wonder if Dutt is reading this.

The sun may be a tad too bright for Ameesha Patel, who prefers to hide behind her outlandish sunglasses these days, but the actress insists she has not been eclipsed by the likes of Deepika Padukone in her upcoming release.
Speaking to TOI from London, Ameeshalaughed off reports that she has a blink- and- you-miss appearance in Race 2. These rumours have been fuelled by the promo released recently, that clearly shines the spotlight on Deepika andJaqueline Fernandez. But Ameesha claims she is not perturbed. And that she is in London by choice, not because she feels "slighted."
