Cancer survivor, actress Nafisa Ali is all set for her comeback in films as her cancer is in remission. The 64-year-old veteran actress took to her social media platforms to share that she is reading scripts and preparing to face the camera once again.

Sharing a picture of herself, holding a film script, Nafisa wrote, “Reading a film script after ages …off to Mumbai to act after years with my cancer in remission. I am so looking forward to a creative medium.” The actress, who lives in Goa, stated that she was heading to Mumbai to shoot for the film.

Last year, in April, she also revealed that she has been diagnosed with 'leucoderma' and shared details about the disease in a long note. After her battle with cancer in July 2019, Nafisa Ali shared a post on Instagram asking for work in films, mainly roles "perfect for a senior actor."

Explaining the reason behind her 'looking for work' post in an interview with news agency PTI, Nafisa said: "My message was to send a greeting and say, 'I am medically certified as cancer-free.' I wanted to share it with my industry and everyone. I am a cancer warrior and I have overcome it and I want to celebrate my life. I want to celebrate that I am ok, I am not sick anymore, if there is work for me then I am happy to do that work. I act in a film once in a while and enjoy it. Acting is not my profession, it is my passion."

On the work front, Nafisa Ali was last seen in the film 'Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3'.
