Shilpa found Akshay two-timing with her and that too, with her best pal Twinkle! In a 2000 interview, Shilpa opened-up about her heartbreak and had stated:
“Akshay Kumar used me and conveniently dropped me after he found someone else. The only person, I was upset with, was him. But I'm sure he'll get it all back. It's not easy to forget the past so soon, but I'm glad I've had the strength to move on. Today, he's a forgotten chapter as far as I'm concerned. I will never work with him again.”
She had further revealed:
“When you love someone and all along, don't realise that you are being taken for a ride, it can be very annoying. I wanted our film to get over and be released so that it wouldn't come in the way of my producers. I couldn't harass them just because my personal life was turning into shambles. So, I decided to wait till Dhadkan was done with.”
Soon after her breakup, Shilpa found love in her businessman hubby, Raj Kundra and is now leading a happily married life. The couple is blessed with an adoable 6-year-old kid, Viaan Raj Kundra.

It took me months to realise that it's over and I am abandoned. I went through a lot of pain. I used to howl, went into isolation, it hurt.”
