Shilpa Shirodkar Recalls How She Got Her First TV Show Ek Mutthi Aasmaan
Shilpa Shirodkar was back on the screen in 2013 with the show Ek Mutthi Aasmaan.
Shilpa Shirodkar had dominated headlines with her stint on Bigg Boss 18. The actress was popular for making strong bonds in the house. While the actress is known for some impressive performances in the 90s, she has been on a break from film for a long time now. The actress took a hiatus from the industry before making her comeback on television. Shilpa, in her latest interview, shared why she returned to acting on television rather than in films.
Shilpa Shirodkar was back on the screen in 2013 with the show Ek Mutthi Aasmaan. In conversation with Pinkvilla, when asked why she resumed work in the entertainment business again through television rather than cinema, the actress replied, 'Because I didn't get films. I didn't try. I didn't even try for Television. When I came back to India in 2010. I came back because I was not in a very good mental state. I had lost my parents, and I was in really bad depression."
Shilpa mentioned that she had come back to be beside her sister and not find work in 2010. She added, 'Maine kisi se baat nahi ki. Maine kisi ko nahi bola ki muje vapis kaam karna hai. (There was nothing about work. I came in 2010. I didn't speak to anyone. I didn't tell anyone, anything)."
Shilpa discussed how she settled in India and planned to start her own production firm. She had intended to work as a producer, creating television programming. She then recalled how she got the offer for Ek Mutthi Aasmaan unexpectedly. Shilpa added, 'Toh maine suna, I loved what they told me (So I heard and I loved what they told me)."
Shilpa has appeared in a variety of films, including Kishen Kanhaiya, Aankhen, Gopi Kishan, Khuda Gawah, Mrityudand, among others. She opted to leave the films after she married Apresh Ranjit in 2000. Shilpa is about to return to the big screen soon now. She will star alongside Sudheer Babu, Sonakshi Sinha, Rain Anjali and Divya Vij in Venkat Kalyan's Jatadhara. The film is billed as a supernatural fantasy thriller, and it also marks Sonakshi's Telugu debut. It is produced by Prerna Arora, Shivin Narang, Aruna Agarwal, Akshay Kejriwal and Kussum Arora.

Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan Set To Go On Floors This August: Report
Salman Khan will star in "Battle of Galwan," directed by Apoorva Lakhia, about the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Filming starts in August in Mumbai, then Ladakh. After the release of Sikandar, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next major project titled Battle of Galwan. The war drama, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, will depict the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops which was one of the most intense military confrontations in recent years. According to a new report now, the filming is expected to begin in early August. Sources close to the production revealed to Mid-Day that the shoot will start in Mumbai before moving to Ladakh. A large set is currently being constructed at Mehboob Studio, which is expected to be ready by the end of July. 'The Mehboob Studio schedule is crucial as [the team] has to shoot some of the early character-building moments there before the team heads to Ladakh for the high-octane action. The art and production design team has been working round the clock to recreate the textures inside the studio. It's a detailed set that will add authenticity to the story," a source shared, confirming that Salman will be present from the first day of shoot. The next leg of filming will shift to Ladakh, where the team is preparing for more physically demanding sequences. 'Salman has been in prep mode for the role since May," another insider told the publication. The Ladakh schedule reportedly involves night shoots, combat training, and full-scale battle sequences. Speaking earlier about his preparation for the role, Salman admitted it has been tough on his body. 'It's physically intense. With each passing year, month, and day, it becomes more challenging. I have to invest a lot more time now. Earlier, I could get into shape in just a week or two, but this time I'm running, kicking, punching — doing it all," he said. Battle of Galwan is tentatively scheduled for a May 2026 release, although an official announcement is still awaited. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
