While actresses take their own suitable time to return to silver screen post motherhood, Lara Dutta stands exceptional. Lara who is blessed with a girl child is keen to make her comeback.

Lara had the feeling that actresses with kids need not have to sit at home. Lara informs that she will be signing her next film in a day or three. "I will be signing my next film in two-three days. It will be an easy role for me to jump back to. My own production will be later," Lara told reporters Tuesday during the launch of her DVD - Parental Yoga With Lara Dutta.

Married to ace tennis player Mahesh Bhupati in 2011, the actress gave birth to her daughter Saira in January this year. "So many actresses have become mothers. They have all taken their time to come back. So, I think this is an outdated concept that if someone has become a mother, so she will sit at home. I can`t wait to come back," she said.

Eagerly waiting to face the camera again, Lara says she will choose projects keeping in mind her daughter`s interests. "My film choices are obviously going to be dictated by Saira`s welfare. I am not going to do films which would require me to stay on the sets from morning to night or for multiple days in a row. So, I will pick my choices very carefully. I am excited with what`s coming my way already," said the 34-year-old.

While a lot of hoopla surrounds actor Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan’s weight gain after pregnancy, a heavily pregnant Shilpa Shetty is working towards staying fit as she enjoys her last month of pregnancy.

“I can’t believe how time flies. Can’t wait for the D-day,” exclaims Shilpa, referring to the nearing impending day. About the baby shower that was held for her recently, she recalls, “It was such a good fun. My sister Shamita and close friends Kiran and Rupali hosted the do. With all my friends attending it, the day turned out to be a very special day for me.”

Shilpa is also making sure that her delivery is smooth with her strict prenatal regimes. “Staying fit during pregnancy is very important. A balance between exercise and a good healthy diet is important. I never diet as I believe your body knows what it wants! I eat everything, but proportionately. Even if I have dessert (since I have a sweet tooth), it’s in moderation.I don’t force myself to eat, just try and ensure that the food is fresh and homemade. I avoid fizzy drinks and junk food, but occasionally indulging in thin crust pizza or vada pao is fine. I try and include more nuts, fresh foods, milkshakes and yogurts that will help to enhance the baby’s growth. Most importantly I include calcium, folic acid and iron tablets. Breathing exercises and walking keeps me going as well,” she reveals.

The actor also stresses on the importance of prenatal massages. She advises expectant mothers saying, “If advised by the doctor, please do take prenatal massages after the fifth month once a week or in two weeks. The massage helps you stay calm and improves circulation, prevents water retention while hydrating your body and prevents stretch marks. But the most important thing is that it makes you feel pampered and great.” (Smiles)

Pregnancy hasn’t stopped Shilpa from being pro-active. From handling her cricket team to taking care of her husband Raj Kundra’s new venture with good friend Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa has kept herself at the helm ofthings. “I have my priorities right, so it becomes easier to dedicate time and manage all the different ventures. And I believe that if you are healthy,you are more active and in a happier state of mind. For me, working out has always had to do with staying fit, rather than having a good body,” she said.

How does she spend her time when she’s not working? “I am glued to the TV, cheering for my team when they are on field. We have had ups and downs, but have bounced back strongly. I am really proud of them!” exclaims Shilpa.

"I do feel that I have been around for quite a while. My journey too hasn't been all that quick though I am sure these films will take me a long way. It just warms my heart that now in HOUSEFULL 2 I see myself playing the kind of role which I had envisioned for myself", she lights up here.

"It is fabulous that my mom and dad are watching me in such quintessential commercial cinema. Now that's what the core of Bollywood movies is all about.
