She mentioned the best phase of her career that she has witnessed since. In her words:
“Itne utar chadhav dekhe hain maine. I think I’ve seen the highs, I’ve seen the lows, and every phase comes with teaching you something. I think and believe that this is the best phase of my life as an actor. I’ve learnt so much. I’ve done diametrically different roles. I’ve had the courage to pick up the roles.”

Continuing in the conversation, Shilpa Shetty then walked down the memory lanes back to the 90s, when she, barely a 17-year-old girl had to navigate her life in as competitive a field as cinema. The diva remarked working ceaselessly all the while, so that she was able to achieve bare necessities and fulfil her dreams to buy her own house and a car. She mentioned:
“I think the first 20 years of my career just went in working without putting that much thought. We came from the 90s. I was working because I wanted to buy my first car, I wanted to move into a bigger house, came from a middle-class family and for a 17-year-old when you start out those things, the perspective is very different.”
For the unversed, Shilpa Shetty has collaborated with eminent filmmaker, Rohit Shetty and is a part of the next cop universe franchise film, Indian Police Force.

“Mumma, I don’t care how you have to do it and I really mean this and it was really that made me realize what it means because he caters to that audience – kids love his movies, masses love his movies. If you are able to cater to that audience, you’ve hit a home run. So that was one of the reasons that I wanted to play this part and then uspe to sone pe suhaga tha mere liye when I heard the character, it was Tara Shetty.”
