Namrata Shirodkar’s sister Shilpa Shirodkar is participating in Bigg Boss 18. The actress, who was a rage in the early 1990s, is using Bigg Boss as a platform to make her comeback into Bollywood. Although Namrata Shirodkar and Mahesh Babu have not publicly reacted to her participation, Shilpa revealed in an interview before entering Bigg Boss 18 that Namrata and Mahesh are excited for her.
“(Namrata and Mahesh) are very happy for me. They are very proud of me and they just know that whatever I do, I’ll do it myself. I know I’m going to make them very proud. As a family, we are a very close-knit family. They are very supportive of me,” Shilpa Shirodkar told the Times of India.
The interview surfaced a day after India Today reported that Shilpa refused to talk about Namrata and Mahesh. Shilpa ‘refused to talk about her sister Namrata Shirodkar and brother-in-law Mahesh Babu,’ the publication reported.
However, she is confident that she will have nothing to hide on the show. “I have no secrets, and hence I wouldn’t need to be cautious or image-conscious. I will be myself and play the game wholeheartedly,” she said.
For the unversed, Shilpa started her career around the same time as Salman Khan. However, they never got a chance to work together. She was seen in films such as Kishen Kanhaiya, Khuda Gawah, Gopi Kishan, Bewafa Sanam, and Return of Jewel Thief, to name a few. On the other hand, Namrata has worked with Salman Khan in Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai. Shilpa has said that she and Salman know each other but are not friends.
This year, Bigg Boss 18 has a surprising mix of contestants. Shilpa will compete with Nyrra Banerji, Avinash Mishra, Vivian Dsena, Shehzada Dhami, Gunratna, Sara Arfeen Khan, Arfeen Khan, Rajat Dalal, Shrutika Arjun Raaj, Chahat Pandey, Alice Kaushik, Hema Sharma aka Viral Bhabhi, Tajinder Bagga, Chum Darang, Eisha Singh, Karanveer Mehra, and Muskan Bamnne for the trophy.
The show will be airing on Colors and streaming on JioCinema.
