Shilpa Shirodkar Opens Up About Her Struggles In Bollywood

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shirodkar spoke to media recently and opened up about her struggles in her career. She doled out that, despite being called 'jinxed', she made it big by grabbing chances in big movies.

Shilpa spoke to media and doled out, "By this time everyone in the industry had named me 'Jinxed'. But Rikkuji didn't give up on me. He started showing my pictures to everyone in the industry and I bagged Bhrashtachar and my journey in Bollywood began. Mithun Da helped me a lot, he was instrumental in my jinxed tag to be wiped out. So yes, I didn't come with all the frills and fancies but I made it. Honestly, for me, all my films are very dear to me. But yes, there are a few films which if released would have made a big, big difference in my career. Kalinga which was directed by Dilip Saab, Singer opposite Ajay Devgn which was directed by Sunil Agnihotri, Ladies Only which was produced by Kamal Hassan were a few films."

Shilpa also shared the view of her daughter about her movies, "My daughter knows her mother was an actor, she may have seen a few of my films but she's not a fan of them. Film making has changed with time, she's a today's generation kid so she can't relate to the films made at that time, but she's extremely proud of me and my work, she saw me working on television and she knows the hard work that goes into it."

Shilpa also spoke about raunchy songs and doled out, "I don't regret anything in my life. I enjoyed my stint as an actor of the '90s. I have got a lot of love and respect in this industry and the world around because of my work. And I will forever be indebted to GOD for everything he has given me."

Shilpa Shirodkar made her debut with Ramesh Sippy's film 'Bhrashtachar (1989)' movie. Then she acted in a few movies like Khuda Gawah, Gopi Kishan and Aankhen and turned into an ace actress. She quit acting in 2000 after she got married. Now, she made her come back on the small screen with the show 'Ek Mutthi Aasmaan'.
