After Big brother success Shilpa Shetty is ready for Bigg Boss

Actress Shilpa Shetty will soon be all over the place – from hosting the second season of Bigg Boss on the small screen to becoming a producer for the big screen. The actress will also be performing in the London and Germany shows of The Unforgettable Tour. TV18’s Rohit Khilnani ... ...the actress talking about all this and more.

TV18: From winning Celebrity Big Brother to hosting Bigg Boss, Shilpa Shetty has come a long way in television. Do you agree with that?

Shilpa Shetty: Well, I am looking at it from the perspective of an actress. And we actors are very greedy, we are always waiting to pounce upon a new role. And yes, this one is going to be an interesting experience.

TV18: You know the format, you have been through the grind. So what are the few things that you will make sure you do as a host?

Shilpa Shetty: Since I have been there and done that I will be able to relate with the housemates in a more empathetic way. I will be able to imagine what they will go through at that point in time.

TV18: Any tips for the contestants.

Shilpa Shetty: Just be yourself. There is nothing else that will work for you than being oneself.

TV18: You are also getting into productions. There is a buzz that Akshay will be a part of it.

Shilpa Shetty: No, there is nothing decided as yet. I would just like to request to the media to hold on to their horses because sometimes it can get us into trouble as makers because then there is a perception and an expectation from the audience. People start wondering that we are making such and such film with so and so title when that is not the case.

TV18: You are also off for the London leg of The Unforgettable Tour. So you continue to be in news in London.

Shilpa Shetty: Yes, that is going to be an interesting tour. I might be doing one more show with them in Germany. I am looking forward to it but I don't know how I am going to manage it. So it is going to be quite a bit of multi-tasking.

TV18: Best of luck for everything.

Shilpa Shetty: Thank you so much.
