Anchor of 'Fame X', Shilpa Saklani, speaks on husband Apoorva
Agnihotri and launching her production house
For someone who has taken a break from acting for almost 6-8 months,
it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the anvil now.
Hubby first
Shilpa Saklani reasons, "I took a break because I wanted to spend
time with my husband (actor Apoorva Agnihotri). I like to reach home
before him and cook for him. He is the first priority in my life."
She further adds, "I am anchoring two shows and money is not a
problem at home," she says about being able to afford such a long
break in this competitive industry.
Happy hostess
Having hosted 'Rin Mera Star Super Star' and currently hosting 'Fame
X' (SAB), Shilpa feels that an overdose of anything is boring, "I
have acted a lot. That is why I am hosting now. But again if I do it
in excess, I may get stressed with that too," she says.
Sophie vs Shilpa
Talking about replacing Sophie Chaudhary who was the initial host of
this show Shilpa says, "Sophie was fabulous as a host. She has been
VJing and anchoring much before me. It's just that sometimes you are
not meant to be somewhere."
'Fame X'
"My experience hosting 'Fame X' has been fabulous. I love the entire
team," asserts Shilpa with a wide smile. Shilpa feels that Aditya
Jassi who has been voted out of the show is the most promising
contestant. She adds that if there is a wild card entry then she
would wish that contestant Sammy Rajdeep should come in again.
Screen spouse
After having played a role in 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin' along with
Apoorva, will we get to see her playing a role with her hubby in the
near future? Shilpa recollects, "I was a crazy fan of Apoorva
since 'Pardes'. His character in 'Jassi…' was like an icing on the
cake.
So, of course I would love to work with my husband." Shilpa however
turns a bit grim when asked whether she would like to work
in 'Kajjal' (Sony) in which Apoorva plays the boss.
"No not in 'Kajjal'." On second thoughts she adds, "It is a good
soap, it's just that it's taking time to reach across." She adds that
she would love to see Apoorva play an air force officer and
reveals, "Apoorva always wanted to be a pilot."
Futurescope
About the future Shilpa says, "I don't plan anything. I just go with
the flow." Shilpa however does not see herself acting for too long.
She hopes to launch a production house and within a year and a half
she sees herself starting a family
