Priya Gupta (BOMBAY TIMES; February 17, 2014)

Shilpa Shetty was always sexy. But one assumes that post becoming a mother she would lose some of her curves. In her upcoming film Dishkiyaoon as a producer, she has done an item song along with Harman Baweja, in which Shilpa has not just gone back to her original figure but has actually bettered it, as she now has abs for the first time. Talking to us, she said, “I have worked so hard for my abs. I always knew that I had a good body. For me, it was never a big thing as the body was always there. But after having my son, I realised the value of it. To lose your body and get back to shape and actually have a benchmark for yourself or trying to become the old Shilpa Shetty was hard. And this is actually better than the old one. I never had abs before. I worked out like a dog, four times a week, for 45 minutes over a month-and-a-half, for this song.” Last time, she had come to loot only UP and Bihar. Looks like this time she has her eyes on India.
