Happy Birthday Shilpa Shetty: Actress reacts on turning 43, 25 years in Bollywood

The hottest mommy in B-Town, Shilpa Shetty is turning 43 today and she doesn't look it a bit. In fact, it seems that she is only getting younger with each passing year. The actress herself admits that she has not lost her zest for life. “I am going to be 43 and I am very proud of my age. I look my best now. I feel far healthier than I used to in my 30s. For me, age is just a number. I want to age gracefully and in a healthy way. You tend to age when you lose enthusiasm, I have not lost it, so I won’t age,” says Shilpa.

Although she has put her acting career on the back burner, Shilpa Shetty is busy tending to a string of other commitments. When one wonders if she has given up films for good, the actress dismisses the thought instantly. “Films are a part of my life; once an actor, always an actor. I am still relevant in this time and age and am doing interesting things that I have not done before. The reason why I have not done something is because, for me, it is not interesting and different from what I have done earlier,” reveals Shilpa.

Talking about her lasting appeal, the Baazigar actress says, “This is my 25th year in the industry and I have not done a film for eight-nine years. But, people still interview me, so I must be doing something right. I feel people still have faith in me, be it on the small screen or digital space.”
