She’s still got it — the commanding presence, the magic, and the moves. We saw it for ourselves in January when a video of Kalpana Iyer grooving to her yesteryear hit, Ramba Ho, at a wedding went viral. Soon everyone had the same question: why don’t we see her on screen anymore? When mid-day contacted the actor, who moved to Dubai in 1999, she said she is keen to return to acting. 

“I am open to work, be it movies in Hindi or any other language, television, OTT, stage shows, advertising, and reality shows. My only request is that the role should be age-appropriate. I will accept it, and do it without hesitation and with complete sincerity. The length of the role is irrelevant; quality and substance are important,” said the actor, 69, over a call.
