"Your career follows a cycle. The roles that actresses like Kareena (Kapoor) and Genelia (D'souza) are performing is something I cannot do at this stage of my career. If I agree to do such roles, I will only make a fool out of myself," Raveena said.

"I played characters relevant to my age in films like 'Satta', 'Ghulam-E-Mustafa', and 'Shool'. In 'Daman', given a good role I even agreed to play mother to Raima Sen," she said.

But how difficult is it for the mother of two to return to the film industry, the "sheher ki ladki" is quick to point out that the industry has matured and sensible films are being made.

"It was not difficult for me to stage a comeback, I was getting offers right through. But I wanted to take it easy. At one stage, I had worked continuosly for 17 years and wanted to enjoy a break," she said.

Television, the actress says, is not in her mind at this point of time.
