Shilpa Shetty Kundra, who will be seen in the upcoming film ‘Sukhee’, recently commented about Shah Rukh Khan's influence on her career. In 1993, she made her debut in the Shah Rukh-starrer ‘Baazigar’ and quickly rose to prominence in Bollywood. Shilpa recently thanked Jawan for teaching her how to be comfortable in front of the camera. She also talked about how Shah Rukh helped her overcome her fears of speaking Hindi and acting in a film for the first time, and she praised the actor's tolerance.
In an interview, Shilpa spoke about working with Shah Rukh in her debut film and commended the actor for his tolerance. The Sukhee actress revealed, “I had a lot of sukhee moments because I was a newcomer. Shah Rukh helped me a lot with utmost patience.”
She further added, “Neither I could speak Hindi nor I was a good actor. So during that process, I learned a lot from Shah Rukh Khan. He taught me how to face the camera. And, the patience with which he helped me was my sukhee moment.”
Shilpa has also collaborated with Salman Khan over the course of her three-decade career. ‘Garv: Pride And Honour’, ‘Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar’, ‘Auzaar’, and ‘Phir Milenge’ were among the Hindi films in which the duo appeared.
When asked about her collaboration with Salman, Shilpa referred to the mega star as a "brat" and stated, “I have worked with him in a number of films. I think people who have worked with Salman can only understand him.”
Calling Salma “all heart”, Shilpa added, “If Salman Khan likes you], he will go all out for you. He is a true friends' friend.”
Shilpa Shetty's next film will be ‘Sukhee’. The film, which also stars Kusha Kapila, will be released in theatres on September 22, 2023. The actor will also appear in Rohit Shetty's debut OTT series, ‘Indian Special Force’, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi.
