Nafisa
Ali
had
recently
taken
to
social
media
to
inform
fans
that
she
is
all
set
to
return
back
to
acting
as
her
cancer
is
in
remission.
The
veteran
actress
was
diagnosed
with
leucoderma
in
April
last
year.
Recently
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
Ali
spoke
at
length
about
her
comeback
in
films.
She
revealed
that
she
will
begin
shooting
for
her
new
project
from
August
1
in
Mumbai.
"I
start
shoot
from
August
1
in
Mumbai.
The
makers
have
to
announce
it
but
it's
a
sensitive
story;
I'm
nervous
and
so
very
excited.
I
love
our
world
of
cinema," the
Life
In
A
Metro
actress
told
the
tabloid.
On
being
asked
this
was
right
time
for
resume
work
amid
the
COVID-19,
Nafisa
said
that
she
is
feeling
stronger
and
well
and
would
love
to
work
in
films
again.
"Months
ago,
the
doctors
had
certified
I
was
in
remission.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
well
now
and
would
love
to
work
in
cinemas
again.
A
lot
of
offers
came,
but
I
didn't
have
the
courage
in
these
Covid
times
to
go
to
Mumbai,
I
kept
refusing,
but
now
I'm
feeling
stronger
and
well,"
Ali
was
quoted
as
saying.
The
actress
said
that
she
built
up
the
courage
to
step
out
of
her
comfort
zone
of
being
all
by
herself
in
Goa
as
the
director
of
her
upcoming
film
was
very
keen
about
signing
her.
Nafisa
said,
"I
thought
I'll
get
back
to
what
I
love
the
most.
For
me,
a
film
is
also
about
a
message,
that
is
why
I've
accepted
two
films."
Nafisa's
second
project
is
slated
to
go
on
floors
in
December
this
year.
The
veteran
actress
further
quipped
that
she
has
been
acting
for
40
years
and
added,
"Amitabh
Bachchan
and
I,
are
in
competition!."
When
quizzed
if
she
believes
that
the
film
industry
has
started
penning
meaty
roles
for
senior
actors,
Ali
explained,
"I
don't
think
I
can
blame
the
film
industry,
India
is
young,
and
therefore
they
want
to
see
younger
stories.
They're
not
really
interested
in
oldies
and
goldies.
But
in
all
essence,
elders
also
play
a
very
important
role...
films
where
elders
are
also
acting
now
are
doing
well.
I
understand,
who
wants
to
delve
into
old
age
when
you
can
delve
into
young
and
romance?
But
I
think
it's
important
for
our
cultural
roots
to
enjoy
cinema
which
has
a
bit
of
the
old
also."
Nafisa
Ali's
last
screen
appearance
was
Saheb,
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
in
2018.
