Chitrangda Singh, who is making her production debut with hockey player Sandeep Singh's biopic "Soorma", says while 'out of sight is out of mind' adage holds true for Bollywood, one tries to stay relevant by doing quality cinema.

The actor was last seen in a full-fledged role in 2013's "I, Me Aur Main" but she will be soon back on screen with "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3" and "Baazaar".

"There was lot of work that came my way but I turned it down. I think it is important to enjoy the work you do. I choose what makes me happy and is believable. When you do a good job onscreen, you stay relevant," Chitrangda told PTI.

The actor, who made her debut in 2003 with Sudhir Mishra's critically-acclaimed "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" and went on to do films such as "Yeh Saali Zindagi", "Inkaar" and "Desi Boyz".

"I used to think sometimes, what if I had done things differently and not taken a break. I was going through some personal issues in 2013-14. And whatever was coming my way, I did not like that."
"I am just producing 'Soorma' and not acting in it. We were looking for a girl who would have physicality of a sportsperson, who would be tough and would have that Punjabi feel to her. I felt Taapsee Pannu was apt. The greed for me was to get everything right."
