Shilpa Shetty, who is celebrating her 25th year in Bollywood, also discloses that her first Hindi film, Baazigar, which she co-wrote with Shah Rukh Khan, wasn’t supposed to be her first. The actress has made great progress in her career and has inspired millions of people. With her incredible acting abilities and stunning beauty, the diva is lighting up the industry. Shilpa Shetty has completed 25 years in Bollywood. She made her début in the popular film Baazigar (1993), co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in a two-heroine film. However, Shilpa claims that a career in film was never planned for her and that the film that established her in the Hindi film industry was purely coincidental.
“I didn’t think I’d be able to make a career out of it (acting).” At the age of 17, I started working as a model for various agencies to supplement my income. I only got into it because someone suggested I try my hand at modeling due to my height. I was offered a film after completing a portfolio and sending photos to many agencies. “Voh toh bani nahi,” recalls the actress, “but someone at that agency recognized me and notified the producers of Baazigar, and the rest is history.” The success story of the actress is mindblowing, and she always stuns us with her fabulous acting in her films. The diva rocks the industry and has become the top leading star of the industry. The star has also impressed us with her fittest looks and gives us major fitness goals. Shilpa performed in a variety of films throughout the 1990s, although she was nearly always seen in a glam role. That, she claims, was due to her typecasting. “When someone had a hit film back in the day, everyone wanted to cast that one person only.”
“I didn’t have to compete for roles. It began about halfway through my career. People began to put me in only glamorous roles. We were like glamour dolls in movies at the time, dedicated to achieving our goals. There was a break in my career after that, but then Dhadkan (2000) came along, and my career was rejuvenated. I’ve experienced it all – the highs and lows.” “However, I never gave up,” Shilpa says. The above information is according to hindustantimes.com. She does, however, like to return to filmmaking. “I’m missing it” (acting in films). I worked on television, so I’m still remembered. I just had to work one or two days there, and I was able to devote the rest of my time to my son.”
