Madhoo is known for playing memorable roles in Phool Aur Kaante and Roja. She is now making a comeback in Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Shaakuntalam.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Madhoo said, " took a very long gap. I'm not sure whether it is exactly 16 years because every now and then I would do short dance that would funnily take me away from my home for two days or four. But properly, to come back as a professional, it being around that time and yes, a lot has changed. However, the emotions and the feel about filmmaking doesn't change...what changes is the economist of it, the globalisation and truly we are one world today as Hindi cinema is seen in America and everywhere else at the same time and of course with OTT platforms, everything is for everyone. So in that sense, the exposure is quite daunting. You cannot escape anything and for me to make a comeback after so many years, I always feel like a newcomer."
She further added, "I always have that sense of insecurity and uncertainty and I always feel like I'm new and need to do my best. Yes, there is a certain level of confidence and a sense of knowing having been in the industry and worked so much. But I always experience that nervousness. When I worked in the 90's, I was new and my acting was different from the acting of the older generation/veterans. Now, the 90's have become old and the new lot is very different than what I felt and expressed."
