Mumbai: Actress Shilpa Shetty, who is seen as a judge on the dance reality show “Super Dancer Chapter 5”, has revealed the three iconic women, who have always inspired her throughout her career and life.
Shilpa acknowledged three women as her lifelong inspirations, and said: “There have always been three women in my life who have inspired me — Helen Ji, Rekha Ji, and Madhuri Dixit Ji. What made Helen Ji special for Shilpa was “that no matter what she wore or did, it never looked inappropriate.”
Talking about Rekha, she said: “Rekha Ji could speak volumes just with her eyes — her lip-sync and expressions were phenomenal.” For Shilpa, every performance of Madhuri Dixit has a touch of class. “I actually learned to dance by watching her videos. These three women have always been a great source of inspiration for me.”
Speaking about her mother Sunanda, Shilpa shared: “My mother did far more than anyone could. When I was 17, I was very naive and didn’t know much. During that time, my mother traveled with me and supported me for nearly 10 years.”
She added: “She made my life her priority. She was my mom-manager, my advisor, and my biggest critic. Whatever I am today is because of my mother.”
The judging trio of Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapoor, and Marzi Pestonji have returned with ‘Super Dancer Chapter 5’, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV. The actress had earlier revealed the novelty behind the new season of ‘Super Dancer’.
