Das Geisterhaus
Choudhury starred opposite Denzel Washington in the 1990 film "Mississippi Masala", for which she received her Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card. She was still working as a waitress in Manhattan's East Village to make ends meet while the film was in theatres. After her debut film "Mississippi Masala" became an art house hit, Sarita Choudhury acted as a Pakistani country-western singer in "Wild West" (1992), a Chilean maid who is raped in Bille August's adaptation of "The House of the Spirits", and a lesbian mother in "Fresh Kill".
