In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Shilpa Shirodkar shared she had no “qualms” about the tag. She said, “Sex symbols are a little more voluptuous. I have no qualms. They said 90s ki sex symbol Shilpa Shirodkar hai. Haan, effortlessly mujhe yeh tag mil gaya (I got the title without making any effort). Okay, I am fine with it kyuki jitna hum log kisi cheez se bhagte hain na, utna aapke peeche peeche aata hai (The more we run from a thing, the more it chases us). I was having the best years of my life. Whether you call it sex symbol, whether you call it voluptuous, fat, round, it didn’t matter.”

The actress added, “I was there to work and was doing good work. I was getting recognition and working with the best people in the industry. I was doing something I love to do.” When asked if she was ever fat-shamed in Bollywood, she said, “Tab fat shame kuch tha hi nahi (There was nothing called fat-shaming. It was okay. Voh baatein agar abhi boli jaaye toh logo ko pata nahi kya ho jayega. Bawal ho jayega (If I open up about what we were told, it would create a chaos).”

Shilpa even stated how because of her looks she was perceived to be elder sister of Namrata Shirodkar. For those unversed, Namrata was also an actress and is now married to Mahesh Babu.
