Close ENCOUNTER
Gautam Hegde
Shilpa Shinde is on cloud nine because her scenes with Iqbal Khan in Waaris have been well received. The chemistry that the two share is similar to Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherji In Yuva.
When she first got the brief, Shilpa admits that she felt a little uncomfortable but Iqbal quickly put her at ease.
Turns out the scenes were so convincing, that her friend called her the next day. Her teenaged daughter is a die-hard fan of Iqbal and was distraught because she missed the first episode.
Shilpa's friend joked that she was glad her daughter hadn't seen it.. she would have been so jealous. "She told me we were clinging so close to each other, ki hawa jaane ke liye bhi jagah nahi thi," laughs Shilpa.
Next big thing This is Shilpa's second major daily on Zee TV after Maayka in which she plays Vineet Raina's wife and now widow. Vineet was killed so he could be taken on in a new afternoon daily. Yuvraj Malhotra was killed in Ghar ki Lakshmi.. Betiyaan to make way for Waaris.
"I wish they would kill off my character in Maayka too so I can concentrate on Waaris," sighs Shilpa. She has even thought of a possible track change. Her character, Soni, is pregnant. She could die at childbirth leaving a baby girl to be raised by her sister Neha Bamb.
But Neha won't hear of it. "She is afraid that the soap will take a leap and she'll have to play a 40-year-old maasi!"
