LONDON IS MY SECOND HOME

Shilpa says the last year has been a very hectic one for her, “I worked so hard last year, with Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force, Sukhee, I thought I needed a break. I ama lso filing my film KD, alongwith brand shoots. I really needed to get out. London is my second home, there is so much to do here with the kids. I just wait to do normal things and not be seen, like go strawberry picking with my kids, a theme park. As I talk to you, I am out in the city, and my husband is looking after the kids. I am literally feeling rejuvenated, not being looked at or judged.”

NOT A PARTY PERSON

BIRTHDAY MEMORIES

The best one, the actor shares, was her 40th. “It was a surprise party thrown by my husband in Montenegro. He had called 40 of my friends. When he flew me in, I had no clue! All my loved ones were there, but I thought I had left my son at home, I felt guilty as a mother. But by the time I reached the resort, he was already there with my in-laws and parents! My father was also alive then. It was such a beautiful celebration. I didn’t want to celebrate without my family,” she says.

Rishabh Suri

Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
