SHOWTIME: As an artiste are you satisfied with your performance and career?
Sridevi: (Emphatically) No, I am dissatisfied. My capabilities and talent haven’t been exploited fully. Here [Hindi cinema] the emphasis is on glamour, not acting. I have worked in a lot of Tamil and Telugu films and there the characters are given more importance. It’s less make-up and more the natural look. I have immense scope to show my talent in those films. I get artistic satisfaction working in South films. I wish I get roles that will satisfy me. At least one in a year. I am not satisfied with my career in Hindi films. I will continue to act in one Tamil film a year, as my mother feels that this way I will not loose touch with my mother tongue and I will be home (Madras) more often."
