Actor Shilpa Shirodkar, who starred in hits like Hum, Aankhen, and Khuda Gawah, has opened up about her new way of life post her Bigg Boss 18 stint. Shilpa mentioned that after staying in the Bigg Boss 18 house, she doesn't spend much time in the kitchen and only uses three ingredients to cook her food. This move even left her husband surprised. Shilpa Shirodkar told Zoom, 'My husband travels a lot, and he was here recently and making some mutton curry. I was travelling then. He called me and said, 'There's nothing in the house.'" She added, 'I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'There is no akhha garam masala.' I said, 'Oh, I don't use it anymore.' He said, 'You have gone mad.' I said, 'But the food is great otherwise as well, so why do you need so many ingredients?'" Shilpa Shirodkar is married to Aparesh Ranjit, a banker and double MBA. In the same chat, she also opened up about her husband's support in her life. Shilpa and Aparesh used to live in New Zealand, but moved back to India after the actor lost her parents and needed to be closer to her sister, Shilpa Shirodkar. She shared, 'He is a banker by profession, and it's a very different industry, and I have a lot of regard for his kind of work, and he has a lot of regard for my kind of work. In 2009, when we made the shift, my husband was in the best phase of his career, and he knew that I was going through emotional trauma, and I was a wreck, and he knew that it was important for me to come back home and just be around my sister. He said, 'Don't worry about work, it will happen, let's go back home.'" 'The most important thing is respect for each other, which has lasted. Because I personally believe that initially, there is love in any relationship, but it's the respect that lasts forever," she shared, reflecting on their long-lasting marriage. Meanwhile, Shilpa Shirodkar will next be seen in Jatadhara, a highly anticipated pan‑India supernatural thriller that marks her return to the silver screen after several years away. Jatadhara is a supernatural mystery thriller centred around the enigmatic Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple and its hidden mystical lore.
