Shilpa (Saklani) Agnihotri speaks on the love of her life and her hasty entry in Fame X
Now her fans get to see Shilpa on Fame X, a reality show on SAB, where she takes over Sophie Choudry as a host. In between the gal preferred to concentrate on just one assignment at a time. "That was because I wanted to spend time with my husband (Apurva Agnihotri)," says a much in love Shilpa who insists on being called Shilpa A Agnihotri.
On the professional front, much has been said about the unceremonious exit of Sophie from Fame X, and her entry. Shilpa prefers to steer clear of all controversies, "I had no intention of replacing Sophie. I joined the show because I was very familiar with the production company and also as a channel SAB was doing some challenging stuff. I honestly believe that Sophie is a fab VJ, and that she did a superb job. I hope I am able to match up to her performance."
In fact, Shilpa was slightly jittery on the first day of the shoot of Fame X, but it all vanished when contestants cheered her on excitedly. "Quite ironically in my earlier show I had welcomed Palash Sen and Daler Mehndi, and this time the tables had turned. Ganesh Hegde was all set to make me dance as well," shares Shilpa with a laugh. For her it was a moving experience to watch contestants giving their 100 per cent and wanting so much to make their parents proud. As for the gal herself, Shilpa confesses, "I am just a little better off than a bathroom singer! If there was a do or die situation wherein I was to choose between singing and dancing, it will be the former."
So how does she take to the mike? To catch Shilpa A Agnihotri in action tune in to Fame X on SAB, Monday to Thursday at 9 pm and at 10 pm on Friday.
