As Bigg Boss 18 progresses, fans are getting glimpses into the contestants’ personal lives. One story that has touched many is that of Shilpa Shirodkar, a famous actress of the 90s who recently opened up about her struggles before joining the reality show.
Shilpa, known for her roles in hit films like Gopi Kishan, Gaj Gamini, and Dil Hi To Hai, shared that before Bigg Boss, she had no work and people in the industry were unwilling to meet her. Despite her long career in Bollywood, the actress faced difficulties in recent years, with opportunities drying up.
A Struggle to Find Work
Shilpa revealed that she had been trying to get back into the industry but found it challenging. She mentioned that people wouldn’t return her calls, and when they did, the responses were vague. “I was searching for work, but everyone said there’s no work,” she shared. Even when she tried to connect with people, the conversations often ended with promises that went nowhere.
Why She Chose Bigg Boss 18
Shilpa’s decision to participate in Bigg Boss 18 was partly influenced by her daughter, who encouraged her to join the show. She mentioned, “My daughter always told me to participate in Bigg Boss, and now that she’s 20, it felt like the right time.” Shilpa sees Bigg Boss as a job and hopes the platform will open new doors for her as an actor.
A Platform for New Beginnings
For Shilpa, Bigg Boss 18 is not just about entertainment—it’s an opportunity to revive her acting career. “People view Bigg Boss differently, but for me, it’s work. I want to use this show to get more roles,” she explained. Despite the challenges, Shilpa remains hopeful that this new journey will bring her the opportunities she has been waiting for.
