Shilpa Shetty is currently busy promoting her upcoming film ‘Sukhee’ and is known for being one of the most successful mothers in Bollywood. She never fails to make a statement with her public appearances and is famous for her fit physique and strict workout routine, which she shares with her fans on social media. Recently, Shilpa appeared on a podcast show and discussed how she never received the label of an actor in Bollywood and how she was not offered any films by bigger production houses.
Shilpa has a massive fan following on Instagram, with over 30 million followers. She is married to businessman Raj Kundra and often gives her followers a glimpse into her lavish lifestyle on the platform. She also shares adorable snapshots of her children, Viaan and Samisha.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Shilpa expressed her thoughts on not being recognized as an actor in the industry. She said, “I never received the tag of an actor. I was always typecast as just a glamorous actor, which is also a great niche to have. Today, I can proudly say that I can do more than that, but can you be glamorous? Being glamorous is aspirational, and it’s okay as long as you can find your own niche. I am proud that I made the most of the opportunities I had and survived.”
Talking about her career in songs, Shilpa mentioned, “I have had a long career with many ups and downs. I often wondered why I wasn’t offered certain roles or why I never got the chance to work with big production houses. However, everything I achieved was by working on small films with talented actors. I played small characters, and regardless of whether my films were successful or not, my songs always became hits. I am still in the industry because of my songs.”
Meanwhile, Shilpa Shetty’s upcoming film ‘Sukhee’ is set to release on September 22nd, 2023. The film also stars Kusha Kapila and Amit Sadh in important roles.
