Shilpa Shetty’s ancestors from Sylhet
She appeared as the show stopper at a fashion show titled “Fashion for Passion,” held at the Bashundhara Convention Centre in the capital, on May 13.
While talking to journalists, Shilpa said: “I had heard a lot about the affectionate and loving attitude of Bangladeshis, and I am fascinated after coming here. I never knew that I have such a huge fan following in Bangladesh! Thanks to the organisers for inviting me to participate in such a beautiful arrangement.”
The Bollywood diva said: “My ancestors were from Sylhet. With that connection, I can speak Bangla a little. I understand it well, like ami tomake bhalobashi, and tumi dekhte khub mishti. However, I might get stuck if I try to speak it for a long time.”
She opined that Bangladesh has advanced a great deal in the field of fashion and ramps. In Fashion for Passion, everyone’s outlook, style, and ideas matched the international standard. All the Bangladeshi participants were very talented, she added.
“The most exciting part was the audience’s reaction,” she said.
Expressing a desire to visit Sylhet, Shilpa said: “I wished to visit the homestead of my ancestors but cannot manage time this time. I came to Dhaka after finishing a programme in Dubai, and now have to rush for Mumbai.”
While answering different queries of journalists, she shared that she loved the rain of Bangladesh.
The actress has cut back on work after her marriage, and is currently spending most of her time with business, yoga, and practising dance.
“I will work when I like some script. I will accept any offer to act in Bangladeshi films after considering the opportunity,” she said.
