Shilpa Shetty talks about how Helen, Rekha and Madhuri have inspired her
Shilpa acknowledged three women as her lifelong inspirations, and said: 'There have always been three women in my life who have inspired me — Helen Ji, Rekha Ji, and Madhuri Dixit Ji.'
What made Helen Ji special for Shilpa was 'that no matter what she wore or did, it never looked inappropriate.'
Talking about Rekha, she said: 'Rekha Ji could speak volumes just with her eyes — her lip-sync and expressions were phenomenal.'
For Shilpa, every performance of Madhuri Dixit has a touch of class.
'I actually learned to dance by watching her videos. These three women have always been a great source of inspiration for me.'
Speaking about her mother Sunanda, Shilpa shared: 'My mother did far more than anyone could. When I was 17, I was very naive and didn't know much. During that time, my mother travelled with me and supported me for nearly 10 years.'
She added: 'She made my life her priority. She was my mom-manager, my advisor, and my biggest critic. Whatever I am today is because of my mother.'
The judging trio of Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapoor, and Marzi Pestonji have returned with 'Super Dancer Chapter 5', which airs on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
The actress had earlier revealed the novelty behind the new season of 'Super Dancer'.
She had shared, 'It's rare for a reality show to highlight anything beyond the contestants' journey on stage. This season, 'Super Dancer' will showcase the inspiring journeys of contestants' mothers'.
She further mentioned, 'Being a mother myself, I've come to appreciate that even while embracing the beautiful roles of a wife, daughter and a sister, motherhood takes precedence, and we always hold our children at the very centre of our hearts and lives.'
'We often applaud the kids, but their mothers deserve an equal share of that applause. On behalf of all the kids, I want to thank every mother out there kyunki maa hi hoti hain bacchon ki safalta ke peeche ka asli sitara'.

Court Kacheri Trailer: Ashish Verma Battles Law, Legacy And Laughter In Courtroom Chaos
Sony LIV's new series Court Kacheri premieres August 13. Starring Ashish Verma and Pavan Malhotra, it explores generational conflict in a small-town court. Sony LIV is set to add a fresh twist to the legal drama space with Court Kacheri, an upcoming original series created by the team at TVF and directed by Ruchir Arun. The streamer released the trailer of the show on August 2, ahead of its premiere on August 13. Set in a bustling small-town district court, Court Kacheri follows the journey of Param, a young man reluctantly pushed into the legal world by his father's towering presence in the courtroom. As he navigates a justice system fraught with power imbalances and moral compromises, Param is forced to confront difficult choices that challenge both his beliefs and his sense of identity. At its core, the show explores generational conflict, the burden of legacy, and the internal resistance that comes with forging one's own path. Blending satire with drama, Court Kacheri promises a layered narrative filled with courtroom theatrics, emotional depth, and sharp social observations. Pavan Malhotra, who plays the stern and seasoned advocate Harish Mathur, brings gravitas to the role of Param's father. Speaking about the character, Malhotra said in a media statement, 'Playing Harish was more than a role, it was a reflection. This show dives into the silent battles between generations, the weight of legacy, and the quiet rebellion of choosing your own path. It's emotional, real, and deeply relatable." Ashish Verma leads the cast as Param, with strong support from Puneet Batra, Priyasha Bharadwaj, Bhushan Vikas, Kiran Khoje, Sumali Khaniwale, and Anandeshwar Dwivedi. Billed as a legal drama that blends laughter with layered storytelling, Court Kacheri aims to move beyond courtroom clichés, offering viewers a more intimate look at personal dilemmas set against the backdrop of a chaotic legal system. The series begins streaming on Sony LIV from August 13. First Published: August 02, 2025, 18:05 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
