Shilpa Shetty spills the beans about how her showbiz joined started, says 'A neighbour asked to do my photography'

Shilpa Shetty is one of the most popular actresses of B-town. While there was no one in her family from the industry, she still managed to achieve milestones. Reminiscing her journey on her 45th birthday, she told a leading website about how she began her showbiz journey. "I come from a Bunt family, and I was the first one to join the film industry. I think Aishwarya became a model before or after that, I don't remember. I got introduced to the industry in 1993 and it was sort of coming out of age for our community people. I remember before the film got released, everyone in the community would talk in a hushed tone. Not that my family ever cared, my parents were very modern and unorthodox. It all happened organically, " said Shilpa. The Dhadkan actress further revealed how a neighbor asked to photograph her. "I wanted to be a model growing up because someone told me about it and I was tall. I had a neighbour who randomly told me he would photograph me and made all arrangements. It was all destined. He apparently saw me at a show which I lost but told me he wanted to shoot me. He got the pictures done for me, and we distributed it. I was 16-17, a producer wanted me for a project and he came and convinced my dad. My first film became such a huge hit that it was impossible for me to travel on public transport after that, " she concluded.
