‘Not dating Harman’
The opportunity to make a debut opposite Aamir Khan would be a dream come true for anyone but for reasons unknown Shamita Shetty let the opportunity pass her by. Not many know, that she was the original choice for Gracy Singh’s role in Lagaan, but eventually she opted for Mohabbatein with Shah Rukh Khan. Ask her why she did what she did and she says, “It was a decision I made a decade ago and I wouldn’t want to comment on whether it worked for me or not.”
It’s been a long while since Shilpa Shetty’s younger sister was in the news and that, she says, was a conscious decision.
“A lot of people have been insinuating that I haven’t been getting good offers. But that’s not true. I chose to go to London and pursue a short course in interior designing than settle for mediocre roles,” she says.
Shamita says she is happy with the way things are going for her. “Contrary to what people may be thinking, I’m still reading a lot of scripts. And I have just become an aunt which is the greatest joy ever,” she says.
But besides the joys of being an aunt, is there something else adding to her happiness? We gingerly mention the name “Harman Baweja” and Shamita says. “Let me set the record straight. Harman is a friend who is acting in Raj’s (Kundra) film. We hang out quite often because we have common friends but I am not dating him. I am very single and happy,” she says.
