<p>Comebacks are for those who get married and have kids, says actress Ameesha Patel, insisting that she had never left the industry and "Race 2" does not signal a return.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"Comebacks are for the actresses who get married and have kids and then plan to come back. I never left this industry. I have always been here. My last film was 'Chatur Singh 2 Stars' (2011). The film didn't do well; so maybe people didn't know about it," Ameesha told IANS.<br /><br />An "outsider" for Bollywood, Ameesha says politics is a part of the Hindi film industry. She had a dream debut in 2000 with "Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai" but Hrithik Roshan, son of filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, stole the limelight. That didn't deter Ameesha.<br /><br />"Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai" was a blockbuster and Ameesha also went on to win critical praise for her performance in "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha". <br /><br />The successes since have been few for the actress who has also been a part of films like "Humraaz", "Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd", "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic" and most recently "Race 2" of course.<br /><br />"I have always been a very positive person. My honesty and my positivity make me different from others. I don't come from a film background and it is altogether a new world for an outsider," the 37-year-old said.<br /><br />"Unlike other stars, I am not a part of dirty games or politics. I have always been out of politics. I don't date the heroes to get films. <br /><br />I have survived so far on my own. Politics is everywhere - whether it is films, ad agency, families or anything else. But I have chosen to keep myself away from all these things," added the graduate in economics from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.<br /><br />"I have never snatched any film from any actress. It is the film that has snatched me for a role. Each day when I look in the mirror I am happy that I see a clean and honest girl," she added.<br /><br />She said she had been busy with "Race 2", which she refuses to call her comeback film, as well as in making her presence in tinsel town as a producer.<br /><br />It's not easy, she said. Her banner Ameesha Patel Productions will be delivering two films, one to be directed by David Dhawan and the other by Priyadarshan.<br /><br />"It is a very daunting task to be a producer. As an actor you tend to take your money and walk out, but as a producer you will have to bear the loss of the film as well. <br /><br />A huge amount of money is being invested in your name; and trust me, it is a tougher job to be a producer," she said.<br /><br />She said she has no regrets.<br /><br />"My mistakes are my mistakes and my flops are my flops. I am happy with whatever I have done in my life," added the actress, who also experienced a phase of unsuccessful films like "Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage", "Mere Jeevan Saathi" and "Aapki Khatir".</p>
