Bollywood have had many actresses remembered for their charm, screen presence, and iconic roles. And this actress is no different with her career spanning over three decades.

Coming from a family deeply rooted in cinema, she became one of the most favourite actresses in the ’90s with films like Hum, Khuda Gawah, Gopi Kishan, Bewafa, Sanam and others.

You must have guessed, we are talking about Shilpa Shirodkar. She entered Bollywood in 1989 with Bhrashtachar, acting alongside Mithun Chakraborty and Rekha.

As Shilpa marks another year with acting, glamour, and confidence, let’s take you back to the time when she confessed she secretly wanted to marry Amitabh Bachchan as a young fan.

And why not? His towering persona and charismatic presence, both on-screen and off-screen, make it hard not to fall in love with him.

The actress shared the screen with Big B in Khuda Gawah. On Amitabh’s 83rd birthday, she dropped a couple of pictures from the sets of their 1992 film and revealed her childhood wish to marry him.

The first snapshot showed the Bigg Boss 18 fame giving Amitabh Bachchan a warm hug, while the next one is a monochrome pic featuring the former in a Police uniform and Big B standing behind her.

Sharing the pictures, she wrote in the caption, “To the man I secretly wanted to marry when I was a fan, and the man who taught me so much as a co-star! Wishing a fantastic birthday to Amit ji! May you continue to light up our screens for many more years, Amitabh Bachchan!”

Helmed by Mukul S. Anand, Khuda Gawah was a tale of love, revenge, and loyalty. It also starred Sridevi, Nagarjuna, Danny Denzongpa, and Kiran Kumar in key roles.

Before entering Bigg Boss 18, her final film role was in MF Hussain’s Gaja Gamini. The film also had Shah Rukh Khan, Shabana Azmi and Madhuri Dixit in pivotal roles.

Even today, Shilpa Shirodkar remains admired for her grace, honesty, and unforgettable contribution to cinema. Last seen in Jatadhara, she will soon grace the screens with her next big project, Shankar – The Revolutionary Man.
