You learn from every mistake you make: Shilpa Shetty Kundra

The positive energy that Shilpa Shetty Kundra exudes is hard to miss.

Shilpa, who has successfully carried herself as an actor, entrepreneur and a mother, feels there is still lot left in her to experiment and try.

Ask her about how she manages to switch from being a mother to a public figure and she says with a smile, “It’s not easy to handle so many things at a time, but women are multi-taskers and they can do a lot if they decide to.” She adds talking about the increasing number of women entrepreneurs in India, “I don’t know why there is a discrimination between women and men entrepreneurs. Those who are doing their job should just be seen as professionals and not women or men. I have huge respect for women who go out of their homes and have the courage to make their own destiny. And let me tell you, Indian women are doing a great job. There are those who work because they have no option but to earn, and then there are those who do it because they have the right talent. I respect both.”
But Shilpa herself has been involved in more than just acting. From owning a cricket franchise to producing a film (Dhishkiyaaon), she has done it all. Ask her about her experience as a producer and she quips, “It is definitely more difficult than acting because you have to be far more involved as a producer than you are as an actor. From the beginning of the film till the fate it meets at the BO, you are there to take it all. Even though I am not happy that my film didn’t do too well at box office, I am not disappointed. You learn from every mistake you make and ensure that you don’t repeat it in the future. I think I also have learnt important lessons from my experiences and next time I will be better prepared.”

While Shilpa is seen doing many things, she has been missing in front of the camera for some time now. Ask her the reason and she says, “I have consciously chosen to stay away from acting. Right now I am only concentrating on my son Vihaan and I am enjoying motherhood. As and when I get time, I will think of acting.”
Shilpa signs off on a special note saying, “This time round, Ahmedabad is going to be my home ground as all the T20 matches of my team will be played here. So I am looking forward to that association with the city already. I have always had fun coming to Gujarat as the people here have the hearts of gold and they are extremely warm and welcoming people.”
