Shilpa slams vulgarity
IANS
Monday, August 07, 2006

Shilpa ShettyBollywood glam-girl Shilpa Shetty, who describes herself as "a law-abiding citizen", says she would never "endorse vulgarity". Shilpa, against whom a Madurai-based lawyer filed an obscenity case over a still from Kannada film "Auto Shankar", asserts, "It (the photo) is not vulgar. I am an actor and an entertainer and I won't endorse vulgarity. I always do everything in a dignified manner. And tell me, have I done anything that other actresses have not done?"

"With god's grace, work is going fine. But this is definitely affecting our reputation. In my family, everybody has worked hard for small little success. We are law-abiding citizens. We won't do anything unlawful," Shilpa told IANS.

"I don't like the way the media is focusing on such inane issues. They are making a mountain out of a molehill," she says. The svelte actress, known as much for her willowy frame as for her ability to shake a leg, says she does not worry about the future.

"It has been almost 13 years and I never needed to think about my future in advance. I never planned anything. I never thought I would last so long in the industry. The work kept coming my way. I have done a variety of roles - comedy, romance, thriller, offbeat, everything.

"In my forthcoming films, the audience will see me in a completely new role. I am doing 'Apne' and 'Metro'. Both are commercial films and I am playing different kinds of roles in them," she says.
