&quot;It is too early for her to come in films. At various events she comes with me as a daughter, as a friend, as I like to take her along. It does not mean all this (movie debut),&quot; Sridevi, who is making her comeback with &#39;English Vinglish&#39; after fifteen years, told. <img alt="Sridevi and daughter Jhanvi" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Sridevi-Jhanvi.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 545px; " /> Sridevi and daughter Jhanvi Rumour mills were abuzz that Sridevi&#39;s elder daughter Jhanvi (around 15 years old) would debut in a Karan Johar film and would also be seen in a Telugu flick, which will be a sequel to Sridevi and Chiranjeevi starrer &#39;Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari&#39;. It was later dubbed in Hindi as &#39;Aadmi Aur Apsara&#39;. &quot;It is not that I am trying to push her or she wants to be in limelight. It is unfortunate that people sometimes misunderstand,&quot; the actress said. Sridevi started her career as a child actor at the age of four with the 1967 Tamil movie &#39;Kandan Karunai&#39; and later acted in many Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam movies. In 1975, she debuted in Hindi cinema with a child role in &#39;Julie&#39;. &quot;She (Jhanvi) is studying right now, she is doing well. I don&#39;t want to distract her. I would be definitely the last person to want her to get in the industry at this age,&quot; she said. Sridevi established herself as the top actress of the south Indian industry with films like &#39;Meendum Kokila&#39;, &#39;Moondram Pirai&#39;, &#39;Kshana Kshanam&#39; and others and gave power packed performances in Hindi films including &#39;Sadma&#39;, &#39;Nagina&#39;, &#39;Mr India&#39;, &#39;Chandni&#39;, &#39;ChaalBaaz&#39;, &#39;Lamhe&#39;, &#39;Khuda Gawah&#39; and &#39;Judaai&#39;. <a href="http://photos.mid-day.com/b-town-specials/trailer-launch-english-vinglish/english-vinglish-1/" target="_blank">Photos: Sridevi and daughter Jhanvi at &#39;English Vinglsih&#39; trailer launch</a> &quot;I am very happy that whatever name and fame I have got is due to this industry. I am grateful to the people of the industry and my fans for that. I started working at the age of four, that was a different thing. But now let her (Jhanvi) study properly, she is in class tenth,&quot; Sridevi said.u00a0 The 49-year-old actress, who ruled the silver screen during the late 1980s and early 1990s, will be seen playing the central role of a conservative Indian housewife &#39;Shashi&#39;, who rediscovers her self-esteem by sneaking into English classes during a visit to New York for a family wedding. &quot;For Gauri Shinde (director), the character of Shashi was very clear, right from how she would talk, behave, wear and her hair. I am not saying it is a difficult character, she is a simple middle class housewife. The more she looks simple the more people will like her,&quot; Sridevi said. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be seen in a cameo appearance in &#39;English Vinglish&#39;. It is almost after a gap of 19 years that Sridevi and Big B have teamed up for this film. They last worked together in &#39;Khuda Gawah&#39; in 1993. &quot;It was a great, wonderful experience. Sharing screen space with him is always an honour. When I came to know that he is doing a cameo I was looking forward to it,&quot; she said. Directed by filmmaker R Balki&#39;s wife Gauri Shinde, the movie had a gala premiere in Toronto international film festival recently where it received a good response. &quot;I am really touched and honoured looking at the reaction of my fans towards this movie. I am thankful to them. As far the reaction at Toronto film festival is concerned, I couldn&#39;t understand what was happening, I was numb. I will cherish that moment all my life,&quot; she said. Apart from the audience, Sridevi is receiving praise from her family as well. &quot;My husband and children have seen the film and loved it. I am happy and proud to be a part of this film,&quot; she said. Co-produced by R Balki, the film will release on October 5. &quot;I am as excited as the people are about this film. I am very happy and looking forward to its release and waiting to see the reaction of the audience, of my fans. I hope I don&#39;t disappoint them,&quot; Sridevi said.
