Shilpa Shetty is back on the small screen
You are gaining notoriety as a health freak on the sets. Geeta and Anurag have also been complaining they’re forced to eat discreetly because you don’t let them eat anything.
I was just telling them that most people take care of themselves once they face a problem or they realise they have high cholesterol, diabetes or they’re becoming obese. I just take precautions and insist that others too should stay healthy. I really believe that when you start taking measures early, you can actually delay the ageing process.
We hear you cry a lot while turning down a child on the show. How will you do justice to your role as a judge on Super Dancer
70 per cent of these children are under privileged. There is one child whose mother works as a house help. She doesn’t even have money to buy the child clothes. Then we had a child who had rickets. He was doing things, which I could not even imagine. Then there is a child who is deaf and dumb. He can’t even hear the music and he is dancing. I can’t be unemotional; I think they have got a wrong judge. It’s going to be very difficult. They love it because they are making me cry. I want to shoot the producer. I looked at him and said I will need psychiatric help after this.
There were reports of trouble in your marriage. Were you having issues with Raj Kya sochkar likhte hain yaar. My friends were so embarrassed. I think some of them were having a party and they were scared to call me and Raj. I got to know from them that my marriage was in trouble, as I was travelling at that time. I just think it is a part and parcel of being a celebrity. People are bound to write rubbish many a time. I have taken this in my stride but that was very distasteful. I love my husband. He is my soulmate. I think, because I was quiet it kept snowballing. Thank God it’s over and done with now.
You have done many item songs yourself and then you raised a stink over how the word ‘item’ belittles a woman. Isn’t this having double standards I am not at all apologetic about the stuff I have done. I have done Ek Chumma Tu Mujhko Udhar De De and because of which I’ve had cases filed against me. I am just saying that don’t use the word ‘item’. I’m not saying that I had issues doing those songs or I should not have done them at all. I am here to act and entertain.
