Career

Early success and career fluctuations (1993–1999)

In September 1992, Shetty signed for and began working on her first film – the romantic drama ''Gaata Rahe Mera Dil'' – to be directed by Dilip Naik which tells the story of a girl involved in a love triangle between two men (played by Ronit Roy and Rohit Roy). However, the film went unreleased, which meant that Shetty's debut release was her next film, Abbas-Mustan's thriller '' Baazigar'', alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Inspired by the Hollywood film '' A Kiss Before Dying'' (1956), the film featured Shetty in the supporting role of Seema Chopra, a girl who is murdered by her revenge-seeking boyfriend, played by Khan. ''Baazigar'' proved to be a major box office hit and finished up as the fourth-highest-grossing film of the year. Both the film as well as Shetty's performance received critical appreciation; Shetty received nominations for Best Female Debut and Best Supporting Actress at the annual Filmfare Awards ceremony.

In 1994, Shetty had three film releases. Her first release that year was the action drama '' Aag'', in which she played her first leading role. Co-starring Govinda and Debutant Sonali Bendre, the film saw Shetty portray Bijli, a village belle who is actually an undercover policewoman assigned to arrest a murderer (played by Govinda) at any cost. ''Aag'' emerged as a moderate box office success and fetched mixed critical reviews, as did Shetty's performance. Shetty next starred alongside Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Raageshwari and Shakti Kapoor in the action comedy '' Main Khiladi Tu Anari''. In the film, Shetty played the dual roles of Mona (a cabaret dancer and a gangster's girlfriend) and her look-alike Basanti (a village belle). The film, which marked Shetty's first of many collaborations with Kumar, proved to be a super-hit at the box office. Both the film as well as Shetty's performance received major critical acclaim; the success of ''Main Khiladi Tu Anari'' proved to be a breakthrough for Shetty. Her third and final release that year was the romantic drama '' Aao Pyaar Karen'' opposite Saif Ali Khan. The film, which narrates the love story of a wealthy man and his maid (played by Khan and Shetty respectively), underperformed at the box office.

In 1995, Shetty starred in '' Hathkadi'', where she was working alongside actors such as Saif Ali Khan, Govinda and Madhoo, but they failed at the box office. She made her Tamil film debut with 1996 released '' Mr. Romeo'' alongside actors Prabhu Deva and Madhoo. The film was a sleeper musical hit at the box office. Shetty earned Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu nomination for her performance in '' Sahasa Veerudu Sagara Kanya'' (1996), opposite Venkatesh. 1997 was one of her busiest years: she appeared in six different films, beginning with the Telugu-language film '' Veedevadandi Babu''. Her first major Bollywood film of that year was the action thriller '' Auzaar'', where she portrayed the character of Prathna Thakur alongside actors Salman Khan and Sanjay Kapoor. In 1998, she had one release, '' Pardesi Babu'', alongside Govinda and Raveena Tandon, for which she received critical acclaim and won the Bollywood Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film. That year, she also made her Kannada film debut with '' Preethsod Thappa''. In 1999, she appeared in '' Jaanwar'' alongside Akshay Kumar and Karishma Kapoor. She played a mother who is separated from her child opposite Mohnish Bahl. The film was a success at the box office and Sukanya Verma stated, "Shilpa is appealing as the grieved mother".

Critical acclaim and commercial success (2000–2006)

In 2000, Shetty received acclaim for her role in the musical romantic drama '' Dhadkan'', where she played a young woman forced for an arrange marriage opposite Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. The film earned reasonable takings at the Indian box office and was a moderate success. She received several nominations under the Best Actress category at various award ceremonies. Padmaraj Nair of '' Screen'' stated, "Shilpa gets the best role of her career and doesn't disappoint". Her other release that year failed at the box office. Shetty played a police inspector's wife opposite Sunny Deol in the 2001 commercially successful film '' Indian''. Shetty had six releases in 2002, with only starred '' Rishtey'' opposite Anil Kapoor, being a box office success. Her comic performance as an eccentric fisherwoman was appreciated and she received her second nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress, in addition to nominations for Best Comedian as well.

Shetty's first release of 2004 was the police drama '' Garv: Pride and Honour'', in which she portrayed a Muslim orphan and disillusioned table dancer starring opposite Salman Khan. According to Shetty, she chose to do the film because she liked the subject. Later that year, she received widespread critical acclaim for her performance in '' Phir Milenge'', in which she played a successful city high-flyer who contracts HIV from unprotected sex and becomes a social outcast as a result opposite Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. The film, based on 1993's ''Philadelphia'', was perceived to have tackled a social taboo as yet unaddressed by Bollywood. The film earned Shetty a Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination and provided an impetus for her HIV-related charity work ( see below. Taran Adarsh noted: "''Phir Milenge'' belongs to Shetty completely. She delivers, what can be rightly called, the performance of her career." This marked a break from the previous trend of superficial song-and-dance items in favour of roles that have a greater depth of character.

Shetty's first film of 2005 was '' Dus'', an action thriller. Although it received average returns at the box office, Shetty stated that she had taken the role to reinvent herself by portraying the rather unconventional character of an anti-terrorist squad member. She then starred opposite Upendra in the Kannada film '' Auto Shankar''. The film was a major box office success and it earned her the name "The Gabbar Singh of the South" due to her villainous role in the film. She also earned nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Kannada. In the same year, she starred in the film '' Fareb'' with her younger sister Shamita Shetty. Shetty had one release in 2006, the much delayed '' Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar''. The film was a box office flop, but she got good reviews for her role as a not entirely likeable wife. In 2006, she also became a judge alongside Farah Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali on '' Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa''.

Further recognition and ''Celebrity Big Brother'' (2007–2009)

In January 2007, Shetty was a contestant and the subsequent winner of the British reality television series '' Celebrity Big Brother 5''. She was the first Indian celebrity included in the show. Reportedly paid Rs.31.5 m ( £367,500&) for her participation, she said to presenter Davina McCall, "I just want every Indian to be extremely proud that I'm in here". As for her participation, she stated: "I have zero expectations. The only thing I really hope to keep is my self-respect and my dignity." Her sister Shamita told ''The Times of India'' that this "is the boldest decision Shilpa has taken so far." During her stay on the show, Shetty instructed fellow housemates Carole Malone and Ken Russell in meditation and flirted with Dirk Benedict but tempers started to fray by Day 7 as a clique formed in the house disapproving of Shilpa's presence. Following a worldwide controversy that publicised her as a target of racist bullying within the house, Shetty won the contest after gaining 63% of the public vote and described the experience as "incredible and overwhelming". She further thanked the public for "a fantastic opportunity to make my country proud". In August 2008, Shetty began hosting the second season of the reality television series ''Bigg Boss'', the Indian version of the international reality television series '' Big Brother''.

2007 proved to be another successful year for Shetty. Her first release, '' Life in a... Metro'', received widespread critical acclaim and became the first Bollywood film to premiere at Leicester Square, London. She portrayed a woman in an unhappy marriage opposite Kay Kay Menon and Shiney Ahuja. Shetty's performance was widely appreciated: Rajeev Masand noted: "It's a terrific performance and unquestionably Shetty's best to date". Raja Sen stated, "This is Shilpa's best-ever performance, nuanced and real, raw enough to feel". The film was a surprise commercial success at the box office. Her second release, alongside three Deols (Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby), the family drama '' Apne'', was also a major box office success. She played Sunny's wife in the film. In 2008, Shetty had a special dance appearance in '' Dostana''. Following this, she took a hiatus from acting in films.

Television judge and intermittent acting work (2010–present)

Shetty starred in the unreleased 2010 Indo-Chinese drama '' The Desire'', a film rescued during production by her mother, who stepped in when its producer abandoned the project unfinished. Alongside Sajid Khan and Terrence Lewis, Shetty was featured as a talent judge for the dance reality show '' Nach Baliye'' (seasons 5, 6 and Shriman v/s Shrimati), from 2012 to 2014.

Shetty expanded to web with Rohit Shetty's 2024 series '' Indian Police Force'', joining as the first female cop in his Cop universe. Trisha Bhattacharya of ''India Today'' noted, "Tara played by Shilpa Shetty was a quirky casting pick! Initially, her lines felt a tad forced, but as the show rolled on, it just became better." Shetty will next return to Kannada films after 18 years, with '' KD - The Devil''.

Off-screen work

In February 2006, Shetty lent support to a BBC World Service Trust television show designed to tackle the problem of HIV-AIDS in India. According to reports, she participated in order to show solidarity with HIV-AIDS sufferers. According to Shetty, the issue was particularly close to her heart as she had portrayed an HIV-positive sufferer in her 2004 film '' Phir Milenge''. Speaking about the film and HIV in general, Shetty said: "Why not a film on HIV positive patients? It is a social stigma in our society. We made this film to highlight this problem ... This film will bring about social awareness about AIDS in our country. It is high time we talked about this in our society".

In March 2006, various sources reported Shetty's joining PETA as part of an advertising campaign against the use of wild animals in circuses. According to a PETA India press release, Shetty is a long-time PETA supporter and has assisted the campaign by posing for photographs in a figure-hugging tiger costume. She explained that her crouching in a cage was uncomfortable during the photoshoot, but that her discomfort was insignificant compared to the pain suffered by the creatures. "These once dignified animals only leave their cages, which are barely larger than the size of their bodies, for a few minutes each day to be forced into the ring to perform tricks which make no sense and are upsetting to them. The best way to help animals suffering in circuses is to boycott the circus". Shetty revealed in a later interview that she felt strongly about this cause and that she was appalled to hear of the cruel treatment suffered by such animals. "I thought I should stop that. If I can make a little difference to their lives, why not go for it?"

Shetty holds a black belt in karate. She launched her fitness Yoga DVD in 2015. In February 2009, Shetty and Raj Kundra became part owners of the Indian Premier League franchise cricket team Rajasthan Royals by paying approximately US$15.4 million for an 11.7% stake. Shetty also co-owns the Indian chain of spas and salon called Iosis. In 2017, The Indian government selected Shetty as a brand ambassador of the Swachh Bharat Mission, a campaign to improve sanitation throughout India. On 20 January 2020, she received the Champions of Change award for her work in that campaign.

In 2021, edible oils and food products company B.L. Agro Industries announced her as the brand ambassador for their food offerings brand ''Nourish'' under categories pulses, dry fruits and flours. In 2023, she invested Rs 2.25 crore in '' Shark Tank India'' fame WickedGud. She has also been an early investor of MamaEarth, an Indian cosmetic brand.

Legal issues and controversies

Obscenity charge

In April 2006, a Madurai court issued non-bailable warrants against Shetty and actress Reema Sen for "posing in an obscene manner" in photographs published by a Tamil newspaper. The report stated that the two actresses had failed to comply with earlier summonses, hence the issuance of the warrants. The petitioner submitted that the paper had published "very sexy and medium blow-ups" in its December 2005 and January 2006 issues, and alleged that these violated the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act 1986, Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act 1956, and the Indian Penal Code Section 292 (Sale of Obscene Books). The petitioner further demanded that the images be confiscated under the terms of the Press and Registration of Book Act 1867.

Shetty responded that she had not received any court summons and also discounted the charges. She further claimed that the pictures were freeze-frame shots from a recent film that only exposed her navel. "As far as my photographs go, what is obscene about it? If navel-showing is obscenity, then our traditional Indian outfit – the traditional sari – should be banned in the first place."

In January 2007, outgoing Chief Justice Y.K. Sabharwal confirmed that Shetty had written to him requesting that he enunciate guidelines against frivolous lawsuits against the artists, but he had refused her plea on the grounds that she should have filed a formal petition instead of writing a letter.

Target of racism

During her stay on '' Celebrity Big Brother 5'', Shetty was the target of racism and bullying by some other housemates, chiefly Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd. After correcting Goody's mother, who mispronounced Shetty's name as 'Shiwpa', Shetty was mocked for her Indian Accent (sociolinguistics), accent and was branded "The Indian" and was referred to as a "dog" by Lloyd. Referring to Shetty, O'Meara generalised that all Indians were thin because they were "sick all the time" as a result of undercooking their food, following their belief that Shetty had undercooked a chicken, which had given O'Meara diarrhoea. Lloyd also mentioned that she disliked Shetty touching her food because she did not "know where her hands have been".

After Shetty had attempted to dispose of the left-over chicken soup down the toilet and had caused a blockage, housemate Jack Tweed suggested that she should pick the bones out with her teeth and allegedly referred to her as a "fucking List of ethnic slurs, Paki", although show producers denied this and stated that the word used was "cunt". During a fierce argument, Goody told Shetty that she needed to "spend a day in the slums", although the media falsely reported this as "go back to the slums". Claiming that she did not know Shilpa's surname, Goody referred to her as "Shilpa Fuckawallah", "Shilpa Daroopa", and "Shilpa Poppadom", later claiming that they were non-racist references to Indian food. Lloyd had opined that Shetty's English-speaking skills were lacking and said she should "fuck off home".

Shetty had been reduced to tears on several occasions, telling fellow housemate Ian Watkins (Steps), Ian Watkins: "I feel like I'm losing my dignity." After the show, Goody stated that she understood her comments appeared as racist and apologised for any offence caused. On 14 February 2007, Shetty said "Jade and Danielle did apologise. And I've forgiven them. Anyone, who knows me, knows I forgive and forget easily." On 17 February 2007, Shetty said that she wanted to forgive Jo O'Meara, but she and other ''Celebrity Big Brother'' contestants had difficulty contacting her. After Goody apologised to Shetty for her behaviour, Tweed stated that he was very disappointed with Goody for apologising, and called Shetty a "wikt:dick, dick" after previously describing her as a "wanker". Shetty speculated that she might be a victim of racism, but later retracted it by claiming: "People say things in anger."  In May 2007, Lloyd attended the premiere of Shetty's film ''Life in a... Metro'' in London, in which the two were photographed together.

The screening of the racial comments on UK television resulted in national and international media coverage, responses from the UK and Indian governments, and the show's suspension during the 2008 season. Many agencies and corporations cancelled their contracts with the housemates accused of racism, citing the allegations as the reason for the terminations. Also, many sponsors of the ''Big Brother'' series cancelled or suspended their sponsorship of the show. After conducting an investigation, Ofcom ruled that Channel 4 had breached the Ofcom code of conduct, and statutory sanctions were placed on the network.

Richard Gere kissing incident

On 15 April 2007, the American actor Richard Gere hugged and kissed Shetty repeatedly on the cheek during an AIDS-awareness event. In response, a number of protesters, including members of the Hindu nationalist political party Shiv Sena (1966–2022), Shiv Sena, beat burning the effigy, effigies of Gere with sticks. The protests occurred in a variety of cities, including Varanasi, Bhopal, Kanpur, Indore, Delhi and Mumbai. Others set fire to glamour shots of Shetty. Some groups demanded an apology from her and threatened to ban her movies in the state. Shiv Sena leaders denied involvement in the protests, but Shiv Sena member of Parliament Sanjay Raut observed that the protests are "just a manifestation of the anger of the general public" and that there was "nothing wrong with expressing contempt at such an act".

Shetty responded to these protests by saying, "I understand this (kissing) is his (Gere's) culture, not ours. But this was not a big thing or so obscene for people to overreact in such a manner. I struggle to understand these people's sentiments, but mainly I do not want a foreigner to take bad memories from here." On 26 April 2007, an Indian court in Rajasthan issued a warrant for Shetty and Gere's arrest. A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court headed by the Chief Justice of India subsequently dismissed the suit and suspended the arrest warrants. While the charge against Gere was dropped soon after the incident, the charge against Shetty was not formally dismissed until January 2022. Gere has since expressed regret for causing any offence and Shetty has said: "so much has been blown out of proportion".

Personal life

Having worked with Akshay Kumar in ''Main Khiladi Tu Anari'' (1994), Shetty began dating him on the set of ''Insaaf'' (1997), the latter having just broken up with actress Raveena Tandon.
