Shilpa Shirodkar says her husband feels she has ‘gone mad', called her when he found ‘nothing in the house': ‘I asked what do you mean'
Shilpa Shirodkar was one of the most popular actors in the Hindi film industry in the early 1990s, however, the actor chose to step away from the limelight after she tied the knot and moved out of the country. In a recent interview, Shilpa, who was a contestant on Bigg Boss 18, shared that she has adopted a minimalist approach in the kitchen ever since her time on the show. She revealed that she keeps 'three ingredients' in the kitchen now and her husband Aparesh Ranjit is baffled by her new approach. In a chat with Zoom, Shilpa shared that she hasn't spent much time inside the kitchen at her house ever since her time on the captive reality show. She shared that once, when she was traveling, her husband wondered why there were no ingredients in the kitchen. 'My husband travels a lot and he was here recently and making some mutton curry. I was travelling then. He called me and said, 'There's nothing in the house'. I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'There is no akhha garam masala'. I said, 'Oh, I don't use it anymore.' He said, 'You have gone mad'. I said, 'But the food is great otherwise as well so why do you need so many ingredients?'' In the same chat, Shilpa praised her husband and shared that they have been through many ups and downs through their 25-year marriage. 'The most important thing is respect for each other, which has lasted. Because I personally believe that initially, there is love in any relationship but it's the respect that lasts forever,' she shared.

Her husband was in the 'best phase' of his career at the time but Shilpa expressed that she wanted to move back to India, and he readily agreed. She shared, 'He is a banker by profession and it's a very different industry and I have a lot of regard for his kind of work and he has a lot of regard for my kind of work. In 2009, when we made the shift, my husband was in the best phase of his career and he knew that I was going through emotional trauma and I was a wreck and he knew that it was important for me to come back home and just be around my sister. He said, 'Don't worry about work, it will happen, let's go back home.'' In an earlier chat with Pinkvilla, Shilpa shared that she was getting treatment in London but it wasn't helping her much. 'I used to cry a lot, I had no control over my tears. Even when anything good happened, still I couldn't stop crying. I had become a robot, and wasn't interested in anything. I had put on so much weight, I had dark circles, I had no interest in life. I used to not go out, don't do anything, was just doing things because I had a young child, dropping her and picking her up from school. Wasn't talking to anyone at home. If I talked, there was a misunderstanding. In fact, I just wanted to hit my head on the wall. I was seeing a counsellor, I was taking antidepressants, I was in a mess. And the only person I was talking to was my sister, as I thought she was the only one who could understand me. I used to get so angry with Aparesh and even take out my anger on our daughter by hitting her, because I didn't know what to do.'

This actress who worked with Govinda, Rajinikanth, got married at peak of her career, got settled abroad, her husband put his career at stake, she suffered from…, her name is…
Actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who was a part of many big Bollywood films in the 90s, recently shared a less talked-about but important story of her life. She said that after the death of her parents, she went into severe depression. At that time, her husband Aparesh Ranjit left his well-paying job in New Zealand to support her. Who is Shilpa Shirodkar's husband? Shilpa married Aparesh in 2000. He was a UK-based banker. After marriage, both of them settled in New Zealand and were living a stable life there with their daughter Anushka. But when Shilpa was broken from inside after losing her parents, she decided to return to India. Shilpa says that she just wanted to be close to her sister, Namrata Shirodkar. Here's what Shilpa revealed about her life She said, 'I neither ran after films nor tried for TV. I did not do any PR, nor any photoshoot. I just wanted to come to India and stay with my sister.' Shilpa said that around 2010 when she talked about coming back to India, her husband Aparesh's career was at its peak. But he left his job without any hesitation and shifted to India with his family. How Shilpa's husband helped her She says, 'If Aparesh was not with me at that time, then perhaps I would not be sitting here today. He left everything and said let's try something new'. Actually, she herself did not know that she was depressed. She used to cry all the time, had stopped talking to people, and did not feel like doing any work. She used to take out her anger on her husband; she even raised her hand on her daughter once or twice. Still, her husband and family supported her completely. With the help of a counselor and the presence of her loved ones, she was able to slowly come out of that difficult phase. Now, years later, she recalled that phase and told how her family became her biggest strength.
