Shilpa thinks she’s Meryl Streep

Leggy lass Shilpa Shetty has claimed in an interview that she’s never slotted herself in a particular genre of movies in her 14-year-old film career. Yeah right! As if she had plenty of choice in the first place.

The woman with only elbows, knees and legs appeared on the scene when Madhuri was still reigning queen, followed by the likes of Kajol, followed by Rani, Preity and even Aishwarya. Shipa, who?

Check out aunty’s next statement – “I have done thrillers, action, romantic, comedy and serious movies. I have carved a niche for myself and have nothing to prove.” We fully agree she’s Meryl Streep’s Bollywood avatar.

“I have done Badhai Ho Badhai which is a Mukta Arts production and my sister Shamita debuted in a Yashraj film. So I think we have maintained a balance,” she said. Arey wah! Woman, Badhai Ho Badhai doesn’t even qualify as a film; you might as well have said Baazigar, where you get pushed off a building and die in the first 10 minutes. Thud! The same sound your career made when it fell and died. Long ago.

PS: What the hell does your sister debuting with a particular production house have to do with your glory? Shilps, Bipasha Basu, who's been around for far shorter than you, is a bigger draw today. Both of you have the same killer body and height, so where did you fail?
