tarting
her acting career with the film "Baazigar", actress Shilpa Shetty
had acted in many films but the kind of natural acting she did in
film "Dhadkan" she could not repeat. Shilpa Shetty is again in for
her "Badhaai Ho Badhaai". Shilpa Shetty's hero is Anil Kapoor and
the Director is Satish Kaushik. Shilpa was in Delhi, for the music
release of this film. Excerpts from an interview:
What's your role in the film?
In this film, I'm a girl of a Punjabi family. My
role is very effective. I also enjoyed very much while doing my
role. This is your first film with Anil Kapoor and Satish Kaushik?
How was the experience?
No doubt, I have worked with them for the first
time, but I knew both of them before also. The viewers would like my
pairing with Anil. As a director Satish is fabulous. I had good
experience working with them. I want to work with both of them
again.
A song of "Badhaai Ho Badhaai", 'Jogan-Jogan' is
a hit? Tell us about it?
Yes, really this dance number is such. It has
been picturised very well. Viewers will like it.
There has been a big gap after Dhadkan?
After "Dhadkan", "Indian" had come. In spite of
my small role, the viewers appreciated my work. Besides, I don't
want to do meaningless films. Whether small or big, I want to do
good roles only.
Any speciality in the current films?
This is a family film. In this, importance is
give to the character of an artist rather than the actor. As far as
the experience on the sets goes, the whole atmosphere was family
like. We all have worked really hard for our roles.
Say Something about the music of the film?
The listeners will definitely like this film's
music because there are songs of every situation. In the music, Anu
Malik has kept much variance. I like the song picturised on me "Jogan-Jogan",
the most.
While choosing any film, on what aspect do you
pay more attention?
A film's real subject is script. Though less
attention is paid on it and the film is made keeping in mind the
artist. But one good thing is that if before the film's shooting,
script screenplay is prepared in advance, then the actor does not
face any problem and understands his/her role completely and is able
to do natural acting. This happened in "Badhaai Ho Badhaai", so
that, we actors didn't face any problem while working.
In which type of films, do you want to work?
I want to work in different types of films. I
don't want to get typed in an image. Also I want to work with big
directors like Yash Chopra, Ram Gopal Varma, Suraj Badjatya, Karan
Johar, etc. But my aim is that directors should offer me work in
their films, after seeing my work because I don't want to ask for
work going to producers-directors.
In the film "Badhaai Ho Badhaai", there is Kirti
Reddy also with you. How was your relationship ?
I give importance to my work rather than making
relations. Kirti has done her work well. Kirti is a good actress.
She has a liking to learn. In the coming time, her future would be
very bright. During the film, we had a good experience with each
other.
Your forthcoming films?
Right now, I'm working in Sanjay Gupta's film "Junoon". In this,
there is Chandrachood Singh with me and I'm doing Harry Baweja's
film "Karz - The Burden of Truth", with Sunny Deol and Sunil Shetty.
