The last time Shilpa judged a dance show was Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, which aired on a different channel. According to Shilpa, she is blessed to be part of the dance show as it offers her much needed family time after wedding.
"I certainly liked the concept of the performance and they are bringing it on a grander level this time," she said.

"Dancing is always something that I enjoyed. This is my third stint on television and every time it keeps getting superior."

When asked about the difference of this reality show,, she said, "Every show is unique from the other.

"The members are stars and the show is dance oriented, but the edge will be the battle between gents and ladies, which is always great fun."

She added, "We have got a whole lot of dances. It would be more theatrical and cinematically, it would be more exciting to watch."

Shilpa has allegedly approached by an international firm for the rights to her autobiography.

"I have been approached three to four times to write my autobiography. But right now, I don't have any intentions of taking it forward. I am little childish for it," she said.

Shilpa's initial project in show biz came in the form of a modeling for a soft drink Limca in 1991, when she was only 16 years old. Her first film Baazigar was released in 1993. Baazigar was a success and she performed a supporting role along with Shahrukh Khan and Kajol and she was nominated for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award.

Her foremost leading role was in the film Aag in 1994, which was averagely received at the box office. She had another hit that same year with the film Main Khiladi Tu Anari opposite Akshay Kumar. This was followed by numerous movies which were average to poor performers at the box office.

Shilpa Shetty contested in the Big Brother celebrity contest and won the race. Reportedly paid Rs.31.5 m (£367,500 GBP) for her participation, she said to presenter Davina McCall, "I just want all Indian to be exceptionally proud that I'm in here". As for her participation, she stated: "I have zero expectations. The only thing I really hope to keep is my self-respect and my dignity." Her sister Shamita told the Times of India that this "is the boldest decision Shilpa has taken hitherto."

In August 2008, Shetty began hosting the second season of Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother. Controversially, Jade Goody was one of the initial house mates. Goody left the Bigg Boss House early in the series after receiving reports that she had cervical cancer, of which she later died on 22 March 2009.

During an AIDS-awareness event on April 15 2007, Richard Gere kissed Shilpa on the check in jest. The pair were appearing at a press conference in New Delhi as part of a campaign to preach safe sex to truck drivers in India and promote AIDS awareness. Moral police protested this and demanded apology from her and threatened to ban her films. Shiv Sena leaders denied involvement in the protests, but Shiv Sena member of parliament Sanjay Raut observed that the protests are "just a manifestation of the anger of the general public" and that there was "nothing wrong with expressing contempt at such an action".

A self-confessed fitness freak who has been practicing yoga for years, Shetty is now endorsing Oneness University's spiritual message of oneness.
