Shilpi Sharma set to debut in Tollywood

Shilpi Sharma is pretty kicked about making her acting debut with director Vijay Maddhala���s Green Signal. ���I always wanted to become an actor. I want to express myself and acting in films is a perfect medium to do it. Although I���ve modelled for quite sometime, I would pick the silver screen over the ramp any day. There���s no future in modelling.I must add that people in the South Indian film industry are very supportive and make the newcomers feel comfortable,��� says the fashion management graduate.
Her first tryst with acting happened on the small screen with the popular TV show, Kahani Chandrakanta Ki. ���I was introduced to the director of that TV show by my friend, Dimpy Mahajan, and the director was so impressed that he offered me the role immediately. I was also in contention for the Miss India beauty pageant, but I decided to take up the TV show,��� says the actress, who played a princess in the show.
Shilpi admits to have landed in Tollywood by chance. ���It happened out of the blue. I was asked to meet Maruthi, who was in Mumbai scouting for actresses. I was put through an audition and a look test. I play a rich girl in the movie. It���s a light hearted comedy which reflects on how the youth today deal with relationships and how their expectations from life have changed,��� says Shilpi,who will be seen in Kannada film, Aakramana 3D next. ���I have plenty of action sequences in that film and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting, despite sustaining several injuries. I���ve just signed a film, which will be produced by N Lingusamy. I���m eagerly looking forward to get more work here,��� she signs off.
