If you keep a clean heart with your money, you will have a clean karmic cycle, but the day you do something negative to another person, that karmic circle will start to bring you down. – Shilpa Shetty
I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that’s very simple on the digestive system – I tend to keep it light. I love Japanese food too – sushi, sashimi and miso soup. – Shilpa Shetty
OK, I’m not what you’d call ‘wild.’ But I’m no prude, either – I love to party, and I play a mean game of pool. – Shilpa Shetty
I’m a believer of destiny, and I believe I’m destiny’s child. I’ve seen the highs, and I’ve seen the lows, and I believe things happen for a reason and always for the best. – Shilpa Shetty
If a guy wants to take me out, he must seek my dad’s permission first. That’s just the way it works. – Shilpa Shetty
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. – Shilpa Shetty
I don’t want to do anything and everything. I want to be a brand that, every time I leverage my name, I want people to feel sure that it’s going to be something good – so whether it be my movies, my perfume, my restaurant, my musical, it’ll be good work, good food and good everything. – Shilpa Shetty
I want a happy marriage and whatever it takes to achieve that. But I think the main prerequisite would have to be respect. He would have to respect me and vice-versa. And, that would be more important than being in love. I think respect really goes a long way. And he would have to keep me happy. And he’d have to be very, very, secure. – Shilpa Shetty
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go. – Shilpa Shetty
I try to be a good daughter, as I believe in karma and feel that how you are with your parents is directly proportionate to what you receive in your life. I am a big oneness follower, and our gurus have told us that if you want to achieve external happiness, you need to be happy internally. And your inner circle is your family. – Shilpa Shetty
I can’t be worrying about what other people think of me. I am my own person, and I have made it this far on my own. This is me – take me or leave me. I don’t owe explanations to the rest of the world, only to my family. – Shilpa Shetty
My goal is that after I am dead and gone, I want people to remember me for the person I am. – Shilpa Shetty
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. – Shilpa Shetty
I’ve been through my fair share of highs and lows. Yes, I’ve been written off, and it amazes me, and it amuses me, also, when I’m written off by the press cause then I tell them that’s just the lull before the storm. And every time I’ve been down, I’ve been down, never out. So it just makes me work a lot harder. – Shilpa Shetty
First of all, from a spiritual perspective, I don’t think anyone needs to be apologetic about being successful or having money. The more successful you are, the more job opportunities you create for other people. – Shilpa Shetty
I visualise what I want through meditation. The process of meditating is a great way of making sure I have my priorities sorted. It’s not about money – I focus on my career and the kind of film projects I want to do. Film-making is a passion for me, and my mantra is that you should do what you love, and the money will follow. – Shilpa Shetty
I need someone to woo me. Magazines are always saying I am beautiful and millions of men want to woo me, but none has come forward because they are all so scared. – Shilpa Shetty
I’m a bit of a shopaholic. I’ve been working in the Bollywood film industry since I was 17, and I have always been financially independent, but I think I would be useless looking after my own money. – Shilpa Shetty
Not coming from a film background, be it a teeny-weeny role or a big role, I have done it with a lot of dignity and fought my way through. But the only thing that kept me going is that I am the sort of person who doesn’t take no for an answer. If someone rejects me, I will be out to prove that person wrong in my own way. – Shilpa Shetty
Yes, many people in rural parts of India are very orthodox and have arranged marriages. But I won’t – I want to fall madly in love with someone and be whisked off my feet. – Shilpa Shetty
I’m not an early bird at all. Ideally, on Saturday morning I’d allow myself a lovely lie-in. 10:45 would be just right. – Shilpa Shetty
I find cooking very therapeutic. As a creative person, I relish cooking because it’s such a creative process. You can cook anything out of anything. – Shilpa Shetty
I would love to do a cookery show and cookery books. I’m not a professional cook, but I can definitely cook. I know the difference between good and bad cooking. I mean, when I was in ‘Big Brother’ I was the glorified cook of the house, so if I got offered my own show – then why not? – Shilpa Shetty
