Shilpa�s busy 'doing nothing'

In an honest but startling disclosure on the eve of her birthday, Shilpa Shetty has admitted that Bollywood is not happening for her - notwithstanding her gorgeous face and ravishing figure which continue to set men�s pulses racing around the world.

She�s all but disappeared from the big screen. Last year, the beauty�s only appearance was in a song with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in Dostana, and this year doesn�t seem to be any different.

�I have ventured into a lot of things like cricket, yoga DVDs, spas, but films will be my first love. However, the fact remains that I haven�t been offered any interesting roles. The kind of work that I would like to do now or fit into is hard to come by. And the choices that are in front of me aren�t tempting enough,� admits Shilpa matter-of-factly.
Added to her woes is the arrival of a new crop of actresses who ensure that the senior lot find fewer roles coming their way. �I have done everything from comedy and action to serious films, but for how long can one keep doing the same thing? There�s something called screen-age! As a producer I understand why others choose the new crop,� she admits.

But it�s always been that for the Bollywood hottie and candidly she continues, �I could take up Big Brother, which proved to be a turning point in my life, only because I wasn�t busy with any other project. That�s the reason I never question anything. But look, I have yet carved a niche for myself without films.�

So, at the moment, Shilpa�s busy �doing nothing� in London. She�s waiting for the recession to end before she dons the producer�s hat in Bollywood. �I needed a break after the IPL,� she says, denying that she�s licking her wounds after her team�s dismal loss in the Twenty20 tournament. �Everyone wants to win, anyone who says they don�t � is lying,� says the actress. �Next season, I�ll pray harder.�
