Lara won`t return to a film set soon
Actress-producer Lara Dutta, who gave birth to a baby girl in January this year, says although she is reading scripts, she won`t be back to work for another couple of months. “I don`t think I have been far from my work, I will slowly take it into my stride. I am looking at films and scripts and it`s all underway. But I am not going to be back onto a set at least for next couple of months because I want to make sure my baby is secure,” the 34-year-old said Wednesday at the launch of Nives sunscreen. It was her first public appearance after becoming a mother. Lara got married to tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi in February last year and the couple has named their daughter Saira. Lara, who turned producer with `Chalo Dilli`, was last seen in `Don 2: The King is Back`.
