In the industry for more than 7 years now, she has seen quite a lot and is pretty much established. Now that she has got a Bollywood launch with none other than Akshay Kumar as a co-star cum producer and Priyadarshan as a director, it couldn't have been better than that. Still, considering the fact that Priyadarshan-Akshay is a tried and tested `jodi', one wonders if she ever got scared about being sidelined.
