A biography for Shamita Shettyhasn’t been written yet.
“Sometimes, I shot for four films but none of them released because of various reasons. So, I started becoming conscious about the kind of films I do.”
“I am tired of saying no to item songs. I don't want to be known as an item number girl.”
“There is so much that I have learnt from Shilpa. She also didn't come from any filmi background, so I took lessons from her mistakes.”
“I don't want to do a film where I am just a show piece.”
“After 'Zeher' I wanted to actually act. I really didn't have drive to be honest before that.”
“I have said no so much that eventually work stopped coming to me, but I never stress on quantity. For me, quality matters.”
“I've always been like this - unless I'm a hundred per cent convinced, I just don't choose to be a part of the film.”
“People know me as Shamita 'Shetty,' Shilpa's sister. It's a protective shadow, I am lucky to have that, but people don't know the real me.”
“Boyfriend denims are great for Mumbai weather and comfortable to wear.”
“Every parent wants to see their child settle down.”
“I look for kindness, honestly, integrity, intelligence, humor and good values, and of course, a fun, loving guy! And yes, I believe he exists!”
“I was very close to my Dad as I grew up with him more than mom as she was traveling with my sister.”
“Every experience I have had in my life has never been one that I have planned.”
“I had not planned my career.”
“Unfortunately, I did not do many films but all the aspects and phases of my life have made me a better and a stronger person.”
“I have been busy with interior designing.”
“People needed to see and recognize my talent, but I did not get an opportunity for that.”
“I like the lean look but I also hate men who diet.”
“I was a bit selective. You know when you start with the best you don't want to settle for anything that you are not sure of.”
“Shilpa keeps asking me to practice yoga, and after much deliberation, I have added it into my regime.”
