Smita Jaykar may get small roles on screen, but she has presented every character on screen in such a way that she wins the hearts of the people. Not only this, she has created a different identity by playing the role of a matriarch on screen. If Bhansali gives her even a 1-minute role in his films, she will want to play it.
