Veteran
actor
Nafisa
Ali
is
cancer
free
and
is
keen
to
get
back
to
acting.
Last
November,
Ali
revealed
on
social
media
that
she
was
diagnosed
with
stage
three
cancer
and
she
took
to
Instagram
again
recently
to
reveal
that
she
was
looking
for
work,
preferably
elegant
roles
befitting
her
seniority
and
experience.
"My
message
was
to
send
a
greeting
and
say,
'I
am
medically
certified
as
cancer-free'.
I
wanted
to
share
it
with
my
industry
and
everyone.
I
am
a
cancer
warrior
and
I
have
overcome
it
and
I
want
to
celebrate
my
life.
"I
want
to
celebrate
that
I
am
ok,
I
am
not
sick
anymore,
if
there
is
work
for
me
then
I
am
happy
to
do
that
work.
I
act
in
a
film
once
in
while
and
enjoy
it.
Acting
is
not
my
profession,
it
is
my
passion," Ali
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
Veteran
actor
Neena
Gupta
had
also
sought
work
on
social
media,
which
led
to
performances
like
Badhaai
Ho.
"She
(Gupta)
is
my
dear
friend.
It
is
amazing
that
she
did
and
she
got
beautiful
roles
to
act.
I
am
happy
for
her,"
Ali
said.
In
her
Instagram
post,
Ali
wrote
a
brief
introduction:
"I
am
Nafisa
Ali
Sodhi
and
I
would
like
an
elegant
role
to
portray
in
Indian
cinema.
So
looking
for
a
perfect
script
as
a
senior
actor,
I
need
to
work
to
express
my
emotions.
I
will
not
be
dictated
to.
May
God
give
each
of
us
the
strength
to
follow
our
dreams."
The
actor
said
she
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
a
Salman
Khan
film,
having
worked
with
his
screenwriter-father
Salim
Khan
on
1979
film
'Junoon",
her
debut.
"I
would
love
to
be
a
grandmother
or
an
elderly
person
in
a
sensitive
Salman
Khan
movie.
When
I
did
'Junoon',
I
was
great
friends
with
Salim-Javed
(writer
duo).
Salman
and
all
were
so
small
at
that
time.
I
used
to
teach
them
swimming.
Salman
is
special,
he
is
like
a
kid.
He
has
a
heart
of
gold.
Mistakes
happen
in
life..."
Ali's
was
last
seen
in
2018
release
Saheb,
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3.
Asked
if
her
post
had
led
to
any
offers,
Ali
said
it
had
but
she
would
talk
about
it
when
things
materialise.
The
62-year-old
actor,
whose
credits
include
films
such
as
Major
Saab,
Life
In
a
Metro
and
Yamla
Pagla
Deewana,
believes
today
both
storytelling
and
the
audiences' preference
have
changed.
"There
are
blockbuster
movies
but
the
storytelling
today
has
become
interesting.
The
after
effects
and
all
is
good.
The
audience
has
to
be
motivated
to
see
a
film.
Today
the
audience
has
become
sharper.
Today
people
don't
want
to
see
a
slapstick,
mediocre
or
badly
performed
film.
People
want
to
see
good
cinema."
Ali
also
caught
up
on
Netflix
original
series
Leila,
which
explores
a
dystopian
future
of
oppressive
socio-political-religious
order.
"I
have
seen
'Leila'
recently
and
I
thought
it
is
a
very
interesting
perspective,
of
course,
it
is
all
fictional.
How
frightening
it
can
be
to
have
religious
fanaticism.
