On completing 30 years in the showbiz industry, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has shared how the audience was different when she started her career, saying that today actors are exposed to the point of being trolled.

The actress began her career with the 1993 thriller 'Baazigar' along side Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Known for her diverse roles and impactful performances, Shilpa has a lot to be thankful for as she marks an illustrious three decades in the entertainment industry.

Addressing the challenges of staying relevant, the actress acknowledged the evolving audience and the constant need to 'please' them in today's digital era.

"When I started out, the audience was different because the exposure was much less for us vis-a-vis the audience. Today, we are exposed to the point of being trolled," said the 'Indian' actress.

Reflecting on the highs of her career, Shilpa recalled her journey from a small role in a platinum jubilee hit to becoming a mainstream heroine with 바카라˜Dhadkan바카라™ (2002).

She reached the pinnacle of her popularity with iconic songs like 바카라˜Chura Ke Dil Mera바카라™ ('Main Khiladi Tu Anari', 1994) and 바카라˜Main Aayi Hoon UP Bihar Lootne바카라™ ('Shool', 1999). Her fame soared with films like 바카라˜Big Brother바카라™, 바카라˜Life... In A Metro바카라™, and 'Phir Milenge'.

"These have been major milestones in my career so far," said Shilpa, acknowledging the diverse phases that shaped her remarkable journey in the film industry.

Speaking about her latest release -- the comedy drama 'Sukhee' -- Shilpa said: "We make a lot of movies and garner love and fan-following because of the characters. But the kind of appreciation I got for 'Sukhee' was something I'd not received in all these years."

Shilpa has also carved out a niche for herself in the hospitality industry with a chain of fine-dining restaurants in the country.

On the work front, she next has an upcoming show 바카라˜Indian Police Force바카라™. The cop drama is directed by Rohit Shetty and stars Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa and Vivek Oberoi.

She also has the Kannada action movie 'KD - The Devil' directed by Prem. The film stars Dhruva Sarja, V. Ravichandran, Reeshma Nanaiah and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles.
