The 48-year-old actress opened up about the person who pushed her to take the role and you’ll be surprised to know that the mature suggestion came from her young son Viaan. In a candid conversation with Instant Bollywood, Shilpa Shetty disclosed how she was a bit skeptical about taking a challenging and investing role as she was already busy in Sukhee and India’s Got Talent. When asked how she managed to balance out different characters by switching every time, the actress revealed her vulnerabilities and what made her make the right decision. “My son expressed that I should do the part. He said, Mumma, I don’t know about the rest but you must do this,” Shetty said. She also shared how the addition of another big project meant spending less time with her kids as she dedicated a large amount of time to the shoot.

He said, “Mumma don’t worry about me and don’t worry about Samisha, we will do it”

The Dhadkan actress also credited to director-turned-actor husband Raj Kundra for being quite supportive. She expressed gratitude towards the entire family for standing beside her and holding the fort.
