In an interview with Pinkvilla, Shilpa revealed that she never regretted her decision to leave films. She married an amazing man who was simple and nice. She revealed that she left acting as she had to shift outside of India. Shilpa added that if she had stayed in India, she would have continued working. She said:
“I don’t regret taking a break. I miss being busy, but I married such a sweet, nice and simple man and that was important for me to start my life. Unfortunately, I left India and which is why it was difficult for me to continue working. If I would have gotten married in India, I would have hundred percent continue working.”
Shilpa Shirodkar talked about her decision to leave India
Shilpa talked about how her decision to leave India was easy after she met her husband. She stated that she gave a nod to their marriage within one and a half days of their first meeting. She fell in love with her husband’s honesty. Talking about it, Shilpa said:
“It was an easy decision. When it is your choice, things are very easy. It was my choice. I never wanted to leave Mumbai as I was very close to my parents, but then I met my husband and within one and a half day, I said yes to him knowing that he is not going to be in India, he is going to go abroad to study. So the bottom line was that I would also be leaving India. I just liked his honesty so much that I didn’t even think what am I doing. Everything fell in place.”
Shilpa talked about being a 10th fail while her husband is a double MBA
Shilpa also talked about her education and stated that she is a 10th fail, while her husband is a double MBA, but it never made her feel small, as they had different life experiences. She was quoted as saying:
“I am a 10th fail. My husband is a banker. He is a double MBA and he is very well read and very different. I can talk to him and his colleagues about everything and the life that I have seen with him, I never felt small in front of him. At that time, it wasn’t the space when women would get rules after marriage, so I don’t think anybody reached out to me, and I wasn’t such a big star also. I don’t think I was so popular that people wanted me to come back. People were also happy ki gayi toh gayi there are many others.”
