Shilpa Shetty on Bollywood in 1990s vs now
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Shetty was asked what she felt about the characters she played in the 1990s. She said, "It was also a different time, a different era, and content has changed. People have changed. What people are looking for in cinema today is very different from what we churned out back in the 90s." She added that it was a norm in those days to make a commercially feasible film. "I mean there was no logic. It was aspirational; fantasy, larger-than-life and people liked that", she added.
Comparing those days with today's time, Shetty said that now the character is on paper, there is a script, preparations, table reads, and workshop. "Today it's such a welcome change and women are getting such amazing parts. The content is more relatable because people do not want to see something silly", she said. Concluding her point, the actress said that she loved acting at both times.
