Shilpa Shetty on working as a Shetty with Rohit Shetty

It seems Rohit Shetty is fine with Shilpa’s amusing dig as seen in another interview with ETimes, in which Shilpa Shetty had alluded to the director’s daily stint on set as a ‘tyrant’. When asked whether there was any advantage to the fact that Rohit and she both were Shettys, a contrary Shilpa vehemently disagreed, laughing, ‘There is no advantage. It was a disadvantage.’

The actress then revealed the humor involved in the situation for her as Rohit Shetty is very fair-minded and unbiased. She clarified how ‘it’s only his work’ that matters. So, he may laugh and joke occasionally on set but the rest of the time, ‘he’s like a tyrant’ on set. She said how when he’s working in a corner on set, like doing his shot division or thinking about a scene, nobody dares to tiptoe near him as he may explode like a bomb anytime.

But as Shilpa Shetty was quick to point out, the moment it’s pack up, Rohit Shetty becomes ‘normal’ again. She deduced it to be ‘a very Shetty thing’ as she, too, on set is little interested in anything but her work, she just wants to do her job to the best of her ability.
