Shilpa Shirodkar Opens Up About Her Battle With Depression
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Shilpa Shirodkar recalled that after marriage, while she was living a stable life with her husband and daughter, her husband had to quit his successful job in New Zealand to support her during her battle with depression.
'I didn't get film offers, and I didn't try either. I didn't even try for television. In fact, when I came back to India, I wasn't in a great mental state. I had lost my parents, and I was in really bad depression. I actually came back to India to be close to my sister, Namrata Shirodkar,' said Shilpa.
Shilpa Shirodkar, who has also worked in popular television shows like Bigg Boss, Savitri Devi College & Hospital and Silsila Pyaar Ka, Shilpa, who took a 13-year break after her marriage to focus on raising a daughter, shared that she wasn't thinking about rejoining films when she returned to India.

Saiyaara Exclusive: Barbaad Singer Shilpa Rao On What Mohit Suri Told Her To Evoke Solitude
New Delhi: Singer Shilpa Rao taps into raw emotion as she reflects on recording Barbaad, the hauntingly beautiful track from Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara. The singer, during an exclusive chat with NDTV, reveals how the mood and atmosphere of the studio shaped the emotional depth of the song which plays over a pivotal moment for the film's main female character, Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda). "We recorded in pitch darkness, with just a spotlight on the lyrics. It was fairly new for me, and I still feel like I'm standing there, singing it again and again," says Shilpa. "That space just me, my thoughts, and the music-helped me sink into the song." But it wasn't just the setting it was the character's emotional complexity that truly challenged her. "When we started recording, Mohit [Suri] told me that Vaani Batra is a writer. She's extremely young, full of emotions, but also innocent. She's afraid, nervous to fall in love, and yet she's already in love," Shilpa recalls. "And I was like, yeah Mohit, give me more words and make it more difficult! Because when you're told, 'This is flowy love,' it's simple. But when you're given all this innocence, fear, passion it corners you. You ask yourself: how do I express all of that, without showing that I'm expressing it?" It took two focused studio sessions, but Shilpa says they found the right balance and the result is a song that captures Vaani's vulnerability with quiet intensity. Interestingly, Barbaad was recorded in the same YRF studio where Shilpa had earlier recorded the hit track Ghungroo from War. "I was dancing while recording Ghungroo, but this Barbaad needed something else. That song required loneliness, that solitude. It needed stillness." With Barbaad, Shilpa once again proves why she's one of the most evocative voices in Bollywood. She doesn't bring only melody with her voice, but a character's entire inner world, to life.

Sachin and my cousin brother used to play cricket together in Bandra East. So, that's how I met Sachin. And Sachin was already seeing Anjali at that time, which was not told to anybody. We all knew because we were friends. Because an actor is meeting a cricketer and he was Sachin Tendulkar, it became easy for people to say, aree and I met him once."

Shilpa Shirodkar Says Husband Called Her 'Mad'; Kiara Advani Drops BTS Pic Ahead Of War 2 Trailer Launch
Shilpa Shirodkar says husband called her 'mad' for using just 3 ingredients post-Bigg Boss 18; Kiara Advani shares rare BTS pic from War 2 with Hrithik Roshan and Ayan Mukerji. Actor Shilpa Shirodkar, who starred in hits like Hum, Aankhen, and Khuda Gawah, has opened up about her new way of life post her Bigg Boss 18 stint. Shilpa mentioned that after staying in the Bigg Boss 18 house, she doesn't spend much time in the kitchen and only uses three ingredients to cook her food. This move even left her husband surprised. Kiara Advani is entering a new phase in both her personal and professional lives. While she is experiencing the joy of motherhood on one hand, on the other is the release of her first high-octane action film, War 2, co-starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. A day before the film's trailer release, Kiara posted a rare behind-the-scenes photo from War 2 shoot, featuring Hrithik and the film's director, Ayan Mukerji. It appears that Yash Raj Films has discovered its latest rising star in Saiyaara debutant Ahaan Panday. According to industry rumours, Aditya Chopra is so impressed by Ahaan's dedication and potential that he is already drawing comparisons to former YRF protégé Ranveer Singh. For the uninitiated, Ranveer made his Bollywood debut with YRF-backed Band Bajaa Baaraat in 2010, opposite Anushka Sharma. Yuzvendra Chahal marked a memorable 35th birthday in London while playing for Northamptonshire, and the intimate celebration stirred romance talk online. Videos from the night show Chahal and his rumoured girlfriend, RJ Mahvash sharing a warm hug as momentarily a handful of guests cheered them on. Rashmika Mandanna praised her Animal co-star Ranbir Kapoor in a new interview. Recently, the actress was speaking to Mashable India when she recalled shooting with Ranbir for the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial. Rashmika was shown a selfie she took on the sets with Ranbir Kapoor when she talked about the same and called the latter 'supportive and kind".
