00:00 My staff gets very irritated with me
00:02 "Madam, you are never satisfied"
00:05 What I hate even more is doing bad work
00:09 I do cook but good or bad, you'll have to ask my family
00:14 I'm a workaholic, so I hate sitting at home
00:18 A person's face is the same, body is the same
00:27 What changes can you make?
00:29 I can make a lot of changes
00:31 You don't see any changes in me
00:35 I don't know how to say it
00:37 With age also you change, with experience you change
00:41 You know what suits you, what doesn't suit you
00:43 You make your mistakes, you learn from them
00:45 Life is a learning process, so you just keep learning
00:49 How much have you learnt till today, from all your films?
00:52 I've learnt a little bit
00:56 I think I've improved a little bit
00:59 I'm still very bad
01:01 I still think I have a very long way to go
01:04 So what is the bad part?
01:07 I don't know if it's bad or good
01:11 I think it's good that I'm never satisfied with the kind of work I'm doing
01:18 So that doesn't allow me to stagnate as an actress, as a performer
01:23 I always want to better my performances
01:26 And I'm always striving to do better work
01:29 So I would call it a good point
01:32 But my staff gets very irritated with me
01:35 They say, "Madam, you're never satisfied"
01:38 But I really enjoy working, so that's me
01:43 Is there a role that hasn't been in your play yet?
01:47 There are a lot
01:50 And I still have a lot of time
01:52 I would like to ask you one more thing
01:55 When you get a producer-director, who tells you about a role
01:58 Do you tell them that?
02:00 Why don't you change it in this way?
02:03 Do you dare to tell them?
02:06 No, it's not dare or anything
02:09 Firstly, when they approach you for a role
02:12 They come to you only if they feel that you fit the bill
02:17 Otherwise they won't come to you
02:19 And I don't want to insult a director
02:23 And tell him to change it
02:25 Maybe somewhere if I like the role
02:27 And I feel that this would be better for the film
02:30 Or maybe to convince myself in a way
02:33 I would only give it as a suggestion
02:35 I would not tell him to change it like that
02:37 And if he's not very for it
02:40 Then I'm cool because I'm a director and actress
02:43 So what satisfies you the most?
02:46 The role or acting?
02:48 The role or acting? I think it goes hand in hand
02:52 If it's a fantastic role and if you don't perform it well
02:56 Then it's of no use
02:58 It could be a role with just two scenes
03:01 If you give a fantastic performance
03:04 That's what counts
03:07 Do you watch Indigo?
03:10 Of course I do
03:11 Which was the best film you've watched till today?
03:13 Which is the best film I've watched till today?
03:16 There are a lot of films
03:21 I'm a film addict
03:23 Very difficult to say that
03:25 But I've always liked this film Guide
03:27 I felt it was very ahead of times
03:29 A film made in that time
03:33 When you look at it even today
03:35 I think it's a fantastic film
03:38 What do you think of today's films?
03:40 Which are made in today's times
03:41 Are they ahead of time or are they just going simultaneously?
03:46 I think it's all of these
03:48 The only thing that's constant is change
03:53 Like they say
03:54 There was one phase of just action films
03:59 Then love stories
04:01 Now comedy
04:02 Then there'll be suspense thrillers
04:05 But there are very few suspense thrillers being made
04:09 So it's very difficult to say that
04:14 We've had some very good films in the past
04:17 Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
04:18 There's Raja Andhastani
04:22 They've got a soul
04:24 So it's very difficult to judge
04:28 This era is good too
04:33 You get to learn from it
04:35 Shilpa Shetty
04:37 Define
04:38 Define?
04:39 Very difficult to define
04:43 Very difficult to define
04:46 Just a normal human being
04:51 With very strong likes and dislikes
04:54 Just happens to be an actress
05:00 I don't know
05:05 Actually a very simple person
05:08 More family oriented
05:10 Whom do you adore most?
05:13 My parents
05:16 My parents
05:18 My parents
05:19 What is film industry for you?
05:23 My life
05:24 Actually just a part of my life
05:26 But means a lot to me
05:29 Where do you like to go?
05:34 It's impossible to go to Mumbai
05:41 So wherever I get some privacy
05:47 I like Switzerland
05:49 I like the Maldives
05:51 It's a very beautiful place
05:53 You're walking on the streets of Mumbai
05:56 And someone calls you Shilpa Shetty
05:58 What will you do?
05:59 First of all, I wouldn't do that
06:06 Sometimes when people recognize me
06:14 And I don't want to be recognized
06:15 I just turn around and say
06:16 Who is Shilpa Shetty?
06:18 Who is Shilpa Shetty?
06:21 Do you cook food?
06:27 Yeah
06:28 What do you cook?
06:29 Chinese, Italian
06:30 Which food do you cook?
06:33 Chinese or...
06:34 I cook food but
06:36 Good or bad, you'll have to ask my family
06:38 There's a big difference between
06:42 Cooking and eating food
06:44 I cook the same food
06:46 So you cook and eat?
06:49 I feed them
06:51 I don't want to risk
06:53 What comforts you more?
06:57 What comforts me more?
06:59 I don't know, I'm a workaholic
07:04 I love working
07:07 And that's the only thing that makes me comfortable
07:13 What more can I say?
07:14 I hate sitting at home
07:16 What I hate even more is
07:21 Doing bad work
07:23 So I prefer sitting at home at that time
07:26 That's the way I look at it now
07:31 Which car do you drive?
07:33 I don't drive at all
07:35 I can't drive
07:37 I'm very scared of traffic
07:39 And that's a secret
07:42 Which car do you travel in?
07:44 Right now, I'm in a Safari
07:48 How is the car?
07:50 What's so special about the car?
07:55 So you don't have any special needs?
08:01 You don't want this car or that car?
08:04 I've bought cars
08:06 For me, a car is just a luxury
08:10 Just a comfort
08:12 The best thing about this year
08:20 Was that I presented my mom and dad with a Mercedes
08:23 On their wedding anniversary
08:26 So that was a very big moment for me
08:29 Because that was like their dream
08:33 And with God's grace, we got that also
08:36 It doesn't matter if I have this car or not
08:39 Are you possessive of something?
08:42 About my parents, my family
08:44 That's the only thing
08:46 What do you like to wear?
08:49 If you have to go to a party, what do you like to wear?
08:52 My formal outfits
08:54 Maybe Indian attire
08:56 Depending on the occasion
08:58 If it's with young people
09:01 Then maybe a gown
09:04 If it's a film or a music release
09:08 Then it becomes a saree
09:10 Salwar Kameez
09:12 So different things for different occasions
09:15 In real life, you'll only see me in a t-shirt and jeans
09:20 Yeah
09:23 Yay!
09:25 Thank you
09:27 Thank you
09:28 Thank you
09:29 Thank you
09:31 Thank you
09:32 (upbeat music)
