Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty Kundra made an impressive acting debut with the 1993 hit Baazigar, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Even though Shilpa Shetty’s debut film was a blockbuster, she had to face a lot of ups and downs in her film career.
In a chat with Prabhu Chawla on Seedhi Baat during the early 2000s, Shilpa shared that she was not getting meaty roles in movies. “I was getting offered the same kind of roles where I would have small role, three songs. When I would ask people ‘What is the role?’, they would say ‘There are 5 scenes but you have 4 songs,’” she said.
Talking about her “glamorous image,” Shilpa shared, “I am not apologetic for being glamorous. It’s not a bad thing. I think it’s important to look glamorous, to look good when you are a heroine.”
After Baazigar, it was Dharmesh Darshan’s 2000 film Dhadkan that gave a much-needed boost to Shilpa’s film career.
In the same interview, Shilpa also admitted that she had got her “nose fixed”. “Yes I got my nose fixed. So? I did not do it to make it more beautiful. I did it because I thought it could be better,” she said. Shilpa got worldwide fame after winning Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.
On the work front, Shilpa Shetty will next be seen in KD – The Devil. She will play the role of Satyavati in the film. The actress shared the first look of her character on the occasion of Ugadi. The film features actor Sanjay Dutt in a negative character. The movie is set in the 1970s. Shilpa also has ‘Sukhee’ and ‘Indian Police Force’ in the pipeline.
