Overview
- In new interviews, Shah says she “dug [her] own grave” by accepting the 2005 part and was subsequently typecast into older roles.
- She was 28 when she played Amitabh Bachchan’s wife and Akshay Kumar’s mother, a choice she now calls a professional setback.
- Shah recalls that Vipul Amrutlal Shah warned the decision would misfire, and she even put powder in her hair to persuade him she could look older.
- Reflecting on the film, she says she would “die of embarrassment” watching it today and would not play the mother of a male superstar in his 60s now.
- Her remarks come as she earns fresh praise for Delhi Crime 3, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
