Mumbai
(UNI):
Bollywood
actress
Shilpa
Shetty
says
that
she
has
never
slotted
herself
in
a
particular
genre
of
movies
in
her
14-year
old
film
career.
''I
have
done
thrillers,
action,
romantic,
comedy
and
serious
movies.
I
have
carved
a
niche
for
myself
and
have
nothing
to
prove,''
she
said
while
talking
to
reporters
here
last
evening
to
announce
the
launch
of
her
next
movie
Metro
directed
by
Anurag
Basu
and
produced
by
UTV.
''I
have
done
Badhai
Ho
Badhai
which
is
a
Mukta
Arts
production
and
my
sister
Shamita
debuted
in
a
Yashraj
film.
So
I
think
we
have
maintained
a
balance,''
she
said.
Shilpa
whose
film
with
Salman
Khan
Shaadi
Kar
ke
Phans
Gaye
Yar
releases
today,
said
the
film
was
a
comic
way
to
portray
that
marriages
are
not
easy
but
could
be
worked
out.
''I
firmly
believe
in
the
institution
of
marriage.
I
have
seen
my
parents
happily
married
for
so
many
years,''
she
said.
Speaking
about
her
co-star
Salman
Khan
in
the
film,
Shilpa
said,
''We
got
to
know
each
other
about
14
years
ago
during
a
show
and
the
meeting
started
a
good
friendship
which
has
lasted
even
today.
Salman
is
a
true
friend.
If
you
irk
him,
he
will
react.
It
is
a
natural
tendency.''
To
a
question
on
her
glowing
complexion
and
''perfect''
figure
Shilpa
said
it
had
got
much
to
do
with
her
behaviour
of
being
happy
and
feeling
happy
as
well.
''I
believe
in
being
healthy
and
fit.
I
do
not
believe
in
dieting,''
she
said.
Speaking
about
'Metro',
Shilpa
said
she
had
seen
Anurag
Basu's
Murder
and
Gangster
and
liked
the
manner
in
which
he
handles
the
subjects
of
his
movies.
Metro
is
a
commercially
viable
as
well
as
realistic
film.
''It's
a
very
urban
movie
and
revolves
around
relationships
and
audiences
can
relate
to
the
story.
It
is
based
in
Mumbai,
which
is
the
most
recognized
Metro
city
in
India.
I
am
born
and
brought
up
in
Mumbai
and
so
I
can
relate
to
the
film
very
well,''
she
added.
To
a
question
about
Apne
directed
by
Anil
Sharma
featuring
herself
with
the
Deols,
Shilpa
said,
''The
film
had
a
very
Punjabi
ethos
and
was
high
on
emotions.
I
am
lucky
to
share
screen
space
with
the
Deols.
I
play
a
girl
from
Chandigarh
in
the
film.''
She
said
It
was
very
important
for
actors
to
be
emotional
people
so
that
they
can
essay
different
kinds
of
roles
effortlessly.
