Producers once rejected Shilpa for being 'too dark and too tall'. At just 17, she was nervous and couldn't speak Hindi well. She faced countless insults for her skin colour. Some producers even dropped her from films overnight without giving any reason.
Shilpa's luck turned around completely by chance. A photographer spotted her at a fashion show she had joined for fun and did a photoshoot. That one photo opened the doors to the glamour world for her, leading to her big break in the film 'Baazigar'.
