In an exclusive interview with Lara Dutta for the release of her new web series, Ranneeti - Balakot and Beyond on JIO Cinema, the versatile actor opened up on why she's doing better work in her second innings.

Lara Dutta said, “I think I’m just getting better work. I think, you know ek zamaana tha jahaa pe, main pehli baar aayi thi industry mein. Main Miss Universe ban ke aayi thi, you know ek glamour quotient tha that was attatched to me to logo laga nahi ki Lara ko sirf glamorous avatar mein pesh karna tha but I think that’s kind of changed. Especially for me, I’ve had a little bit of a sabbatical when my daughter was born, stepped away from everything for a while and with it was the advent of OTT platforms in the country. So once that happened, I think content just got better, especially for women you know you had better written characters, you had better representation of the ages for women and today, I mean I love playing someone like Manisha Sehgal on screen. Who sirf ek powerful aurat hi nahi hai but she is also very well put-together, she is also glamorous but you don’t have to separate glamour from a powerful performance. And I think today you can marry the two of them and create something like Manisha Sehgal is.”
