Shilpa Shetty Praises Shah Rukh Khan’s Self-Belief, Draws Parallel With Super Dancer Contestant
Mumbai, Sep 5 (TheTrendingPeople.com): Actress Shilpa Shetty recently shared her admiration for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, highlighting his unshakable self-belief as the key to his enduring success. Speaking during an episode of Super Dancer Chapter 5, where she serves as a judge, Shilpa compared the confidence of a contestant named Sukriti to that of Shah Rukh Khan himself.
The young contestant stunned the judges with her electrifying performance on the popular song “Sachi Yeh Kahani Hai” from Shah Rukh Khan’s cult classic Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993). Impressed by Sukriti’s stage presence, Shilpa remarked, “The best thing about Shah Rukh Khan is that long before the world called him King Khan, he believed he was a king. That unshakable confidence in himself made others believe it too. And that’s the power of self-belief: it makes the world see you the way you see yourself.”
Shilpa further added that she sees the same fire in Sukriti, saying the contestant “believes she’s a queen, and just like one, she rules the stage the moment she steps on.”
Remembering Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
The performance also brought back memories of the much-loved film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a coming-of-age comedy-drama directed by Kundan Shah. The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepak Tijori, Suchitra Krishnamurthy, and Naseeruddin Shah, remains a fan favorite. Notably, Shah Rukh Khan has since acquired the rights to the film under his production house, Red Chillies Entertainment. The movie was also remade in Telugu as Swapnalokam featuring Jagapathi Babu and Raasi.
Shilpa Shetty’s Ongoing Projects
Apart from her television appearances, Shilpa Shetty continues to remain active in films. She was last seen in Sukhee, a slice-of-life dramedy that told the story of a woman rediscovering herself during a transformative seven-day journey. The film was appreciated for its relatable storytelling and Shilpa’s performance.
Looking ahead, Shilpa will next be seen in KD: The Devil, a highly anticipated Kannada action drama directed by Prem. The film features Dhruva Sarja in the lead role, along with an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah, Nora Fatehi, and Shilpa herself in a pivotal role.
Super Dancer Chapter 5 airs on Sony Entertainment Television and streams on SonyLIV, continuing to provide a platform for young dance talent across the country.
