But I have a life beyond acting." After Mr Ya Miss, which was also her directorial debut, Antara disappeared from the scene. A year ago she tied the knot with GQ editor Che Kurrien in a hush-hush wedding. "I can be content doing nothing. I spent a lot of time travelling in France with friends who were making a documentary. Then I got married. I have also been writing. I am looking at a script that I hope I can direct," she said. When Palekar approached her for And Once Again, she immediately accepted. "I have been an ardent fan of his movies. I love his kind of cinema," Antara said. The director told her she would have to go bald for the role of a Buddhist monk. "I did not think twice. I shaved off my tresses." She had carried a dozen caps during the shoot schedule in Sikkim. "Initially,u00a0 I had decided that I wouldn't step out with a tonsured head except to face the camera. But I ended up hardly wearing any headgear. I did not feel awkward being seen bald. The only time I needed a cap was to protect my head from the sun." Antara was earlier seen in several Ramgopal Varma productions such as Company, Naach and Road.
