Sukhee review

The Hindustan Times review of the film read: “Sukhee is not a message-oriented film with some cause attached to it. Nor does it try to get into a social commentary zone. But yes, it's an important film in today's times, highlighting a subject that often doesn't get the attention it deserves. While Sukhee can be easily put in the category of women empowerment cinema, it is slightly more than that. It's about self-realisations, about valuing and prioritising yourself over others, and about being brave and courageous in the most difficult circumstances.”

Shilpa Shetty on film and her own life and career

Shilpa has said that her role in Sukhee is something she has never played before on screen. She told ANI in an interview, “It's been a roller-coaster ride. No one's journey is a one-way street. There are ups and downs. I have seen everything. I am very happy with the way my journey is going, it's my journey. I got to learn so much, got to unlearn so much. I am very happy that I have lasted for 30 years. And even today I am still able to entertain people. People expect things from me. And I am here with Sukhee.”

She continued, “I was very young when I joined the industry and didn’t have much knowledge at the time. I didn’t take any acting classes or anything. I had to learn everything from A to Z and still don't know it completely. I am still learning.”
