Will Shilpa Shetty play a cop role in future?

“I’m just happy that people loved Tara Shetty as a character. I got a lot of love. It is a great compliment that it is the most watched show and has achieved so much. It was great to be able to put aside such a strict nature and make other women happy. They were very happy to see me in such a character, a strong cop. I feel extremely privileged and proud and humbled at the same time,” shares Shilpa Shetty.

Will we see more cop roles in the future? “Now I literally have my entire diary empty. I have to finish with KD – The Devil and now decide what I want to do next. I want it to be a clean slate,” Shetty replies, continuing, “I’ve been working really hard for the last two years, now I just have to balance it with my kids and make sure I’m also responsible enough as an artist. Don’t disturb my audience. I really want to check out the scripts I’ve come up with, some really interesting projects, but now I’ll just cancel sometime. “

About winning the 2023 Champions of Change Award

He was also recently awarded the 2023 Champion of Change award and he tells us that “it felt like a compliment”. “It’s great to be recognized for someone’s journey and I feel like it’s a great thing to have a goal. For me, it’s about health and wellness, and I always stand by that with all my heart. As an artist, your work is not limited to film, you have to have an extension of your personality and I did it in wellness and health just out of passion. The recognition and receiving such an honor is very kind,” adds the actor.

“I don’t work because I’m looking for rewards”

Shilpa feels that being a celebrity comes with a responsibility. “It’s not just about glamour, it’s about having a certain sense of catalyst playing for some good cause so that people can take a leaf out of it.” Why was the aspiration only in the aspect of the star?” She says, adding, “I want people to look at me for what I can do outside of my job. I think we as artists are blessed to be in this special position or to be recognized and we should use that leverage for good causes. “

Ask the 48-year-old if such accolades motivate him more to work in the same direction, and he replies: “I don’t work because I’m looking for rewards. I believe that people have recognized my work in this field. I will continue to do everything I do with the same passion I have always done. When people recognize that, it just makes my heart so happy.”

“Whether or not I won this award, I would still continue to try to motivate people to be healthy, because to me, health is something that cannot be taken for granted. I do this as a mother to my children and I want parents to know how important health is in our lives. This is my job and I feel that I became an actor to be a catalyst in this field,” concludes Shilpa.
