We Are Exposed To The Point Of Being Trolled, Says Shilpa Shetty
MUMBAI, (IANS) – On completing 30 years in the showbiz industry, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has shared how the audience was different when she started her career, saying that today actors are exposed to the point of being trolled.
The actress began her career with the 1993 thriller ‘Baazigar’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Known for her diverse roles, Shilpa has a lot to be thankful for as she marks an illustrious three decades in the entertainment industry.
Addressing the challenges of staying relevant, the actress acknowledged the evolving audience and the constant need to ‘please’ them in today’s digital era.
“When I started out, the audience was different because the exposure was much less for us vis-a-vis the audience. Today, we are exposed to the point of being trolled,” said the ‘Indian’ actress.
Reflecting on the highs of her career, Shilpa recalled her journey from a small role in a platinum jubilee hit to becoming a mainstream heroine with ‘Dhadkan’ (2002).
She reached the pinnacle of her popularity with iconic songs like ‘Chura Ke Dil Mera’ (‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’, 1994) and ‘Main Aayi Hoon UP Bihar Lootne’ (‘Shool’, 1999). Her fame soared with films like ‘Big Brother’, ‘Life… In A Metro’, and ‘Phir Milenge’.
“These have been major milestones in my career so far,” said Shilpa, acknowledging the diverse phases that shaped her remarkable journey in the film industry.
Speaking about her latest release — the comedy-drama ‘Sukhee’ — Shilpa said, “We make a lot of movies and garner love and fan-following because of the characters. But the kind of appreciation I got for ‘Sukhee’ was something I’d not received in all these years.”
Shilpa has also carved out a niche for herself in the hospitality industry with a chain of fine-dining restaurants in the country.
She next has an upcoming show ‘Indian Police Force’. The cop drama is directed by Rohit Shetty and stars Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi.
She also has the Kannada action movie ‘KD – The Devil’ directed by Prem. The film stars Dhruva Sarja, V. Ravichandran, Reeshma Nanaiah, and Sanjay Dutt.

Sukhee on Netflix. Review.
Absolute tear jerker and lovable movie. Shilpa Shetty Kundra is Sukhee. Last movie I’ve seen her was in “Dhadkan”, where Kiren Kumar was her father in the movie and here after decades, he plays her father again. In Dhadkan, the wedding scene was ravishing with a quali sung by the late Ustad Fathe Alikhan.
The casting is superb. The actor who plays her husband Guru, resembles yester year star Padeep Kumar. Actors playing Vikram and Jassi are impressive.
Sukhi is made for Shilpa Shetty Her real life persona is not much farther than what she portrays in the movie with superb
expressions.
Comedy has always been her forte (As in Rishtey with Anil Kapoor.) but she is so versatile in anything she does, not to mention a great dancer and a fashion icon.
Superb direction, but few scenes were disgusting and should have been easily deleted.
