Shilpa Shetty talks about how Helen, Rekha and Madhuri have inspired her

Actress Shilpa Shetty, who is seen as a judge on the dance reality show 'Super Dancer Chapter 5', has revealed the three iconic women, who have always inspired her throughout her career and life. 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'.

Amitabh Bachchan's Fee for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 According to reports, Amitabh will earn Rs 5 crore per episode. With five episodes per week, the sum of five episodes comes to Rs 25 crore in a week. This massive paycheck reportedly makes him the highest-paid television host in India, surpassing Salman Khan, who earned Rs 12 crore per Weekend Ka Vaar episode on Bigg Boss OTT 2, despite filming only two episodes a week. Will This Be Amitabh Bachchan's Last KBC? Even before the show's release date was announced, many rumours made headlines that Amitabh might step aside as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati for personal reasons and that Salman Khan could replace him. With the news surfacing online, it came as a shock and disappointment for fans. However, to everyone's relief, Sony and Bachchan himself firmly debunked those rumours.
