While participating in a panel discussion on women's empowerment at Elle Impact, D'Souza spoke about the challenges she faced while making her comeback after nearly a decade-long hiatus.

She said, "Being an actor who has worked in six languages and someone who took a break because I was having babies."

"I remember people telling me, 'Oh, you want to come back to films after 10 years? It won't work,' but my comeback film became a cult hit."
