Perhaps she has forgotten that the average shelf life of a Bollywood Siren is just about 10 years. Infact her sis Shilpa, did good by sticking around for 14 years. However, since Metro in 2007, even Shilpa is out of the leading heroine bracket.
Fine actresses like Ash or Kaajol manage to prolong their run even beyond matrimony. However at the rate of 1 film per 2 years Shamita may just end up with 3-4 quality films in her body of work. Yups - Quality films like Wajah, Agni Pankh, Fareb and Cash that currently adorn her CV!
9 Years of work and 9 quality Hindi flicks, 4 item numbers and a couple of Tamil and Telugu movies. Impressive indeed!
Compare this to a Priyanka with a work ex of 7 years and 27 odd movies.
Ofcourse, all this doesn't make sense as we are comparing apples to oranges. While Priyanka went for the volumes caring two hoots about the quality….Shamita has done good by staying true to her stand and concentrating only on the Quality!
Way to go Shetty girl! Nirupa Roy had a quality career spanning 40 decades. So I am pretty sure that your quality policy will certainly pay off!

well said keep up, shamita u also find a big shot like Raj and settle fast and dont disturb us
Why is our Bollywood 'Global Icon' phillums not getting National Award for best phillum.
Why is south indian cinema taking top honors. Last year Malayalam film 'Pulijanmam' took best film award. This year 'Kanjeevaram' got best film award.
Why is this discrimination against 'Global Icon' Bollywood. When the entire WORLD respects Bollywood's icons why National awards are not given to Bollywood movies.
Just see how Bolly icons are mobbed in US and Europe by goras and goris asking for autograph, photograph, videograph. Did you forget how the US immigration officers mobbed our Super Icon SRK for his autograph... Poor guy was so tired of giving autographs and posing for pikchurs that goris were taking, he couldnt get out of the aiport for 2 hours! What global recogniation of world icons.
And then National awards go to these south Indian people. Do you think any south Indian actor has such 'Global icon' status like Bollywood stars. Do you think goras and goris will tear their clothes and mob south indian stars like the goras mob SRK salman SanjayDutt and party?

Awards are given for the quality of film that is made,not on the basis of skin colour or star popularity,dude.You better get that into your thick skull.
