Renowned actor Shilpa Shetty, who recently graced the silver screen with her film “Sukhee,” has unveiled the reason behind her unwavering willingness to oblige fans with photographs. In a shift of perspective, Shilpa explained that a chance encounter with Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger transformed her approach towards fan interactions.
During a stay at a hotel where Schwarzenegger was also present for an event, Shilpa eagerly sought a photograph with the star. However, her attempt was met with resistance from Schwarzenegger’s formidable bodyguards, leaving her husband Raj Kundra perturbed.
Recounting the incident on Shehnaaz Gill’s talk show, “Desi Vibes,” Shilpa detailed, “I had gone somewhere and there was Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hotel, who had come for some event there. I was wearing heels, and the moment I saw him, I removed them and told Raj, ‘I want a picture with him.’ I ran to him, but there were his well-built bodyguards. They didn’t let me see him and pushed me away.”
The episode prompted Shilpa to reflect on how fans might feel when denied a photograph. She expressed, “I was an Indian actor, so he gave me a photo, but….As a fan, I felt bad when he didn’t. But I also realised how people must feel when I say ‘No’. They get only one chance.”
Shilpa’s recent film, “Sukhee,” directed by Sonal Joshi, has garnered a mixed reception. The movie also features Kusha Kapila, Dilnaz Irani, and Pavleen Gujral.
