Quotes by Shilpa Shetty
Indian films are always very passionate and romantic, and so long as the scene is done well aesthetically, I have no qualms doing it.

I believe in binging once a week. This takes care of my cravings. I don't eat huge quantities when I binge, but I eat different varieties of food.
I don't want to go into a marriage just because of my age - too many people make that mistake. But of course I'd like to be married one day - I dream of having children because I adore kids so, so much.
I am obsessed with cricket. But to be honest, I prefer the IPL format to test matches.
If you saw me without concealer, you would see that I have raccoon eyes. And I think my forehead is too small. I am not quintessentially beautiful. I am photogenic, but that's only because I have learned how to make the best of what I've got from the make-up artists I have worked with.
I honestly have no interest in politics; I don't think I could ever get into politics.

I'm eulogised by a lot of men, but they wouldn't take me home to meet their mothers.
