Shilpa Shetty Opens Up About Her Upcoming Film Sukhee And Balancing Motherhood

Shilpa Shetty, a celebrated bollywood actress known for her versatility in portraying various roles, is embarking on a new cinematic journey as she takes on the role of a mother who deserves a break in her upcoming film, 'Sukhee.' In an exclusive interview with Herzindagi, the actress graciously shared insights into her highly anticipated movie. During the conversation, we explored her life as a dedicated mother and a loving wife, providing a touching glimpse into her personal world. Additionally, Shilpa engaged in a lighthearted rapid-fire round, adding a fun and entertaining element to the interview.

Why 'Besharam' Is Considered An Insult For Women

During an exclusive interview discussing the trailer of her upcoming movie, 'Sukhee,' Shilpa Shetty was posed with a question about how the trailer's closing words, 'bedhadak' and 'besharam,' are often seen as derogatory, but whether it's truly wrong to be uninhibited and bold. In response, Shilpa expressed that it isn't inherently wrong; it's a matter of perspective. She pointed out that society generally accepts women as being carefree, bold, and independent, but when they step into roles like motherhood, wifehood, or daughter-in-law, expectations change, and they are often expected to transform into different personas.

Shilpa emphasised and said, “I believe everyone has the right to live life on their terms and occasionally deserves a break.” She particularly highlighted the often-underestimated work and sacrifices made by housewives, which are taken for granted. She mentioned that 'Sukhee' prompts viewers to recognise these aspects. Shilpa also noted that the film can serve as an eye-opener for men, helping them understand the need for their wives to take breaks, and for women, reassuring them that taking a break is completely acceptable and should not require a second thought.

Shilpa Shetty Considers Sukhee As An Ode To All Women

Shilpa further elaborated that there is a significant resonance between the 'Sukhee' trailer and the viewers, and for her, being a part of this film represents a heartfelt tribute to all the women across India.
