Happy days are here again for Shilpa Shetty. After a prolonged state of uncertainty, the tall Tulu-speaking girl is back in the news. This is the same Shilpa who had almost given up her career when Akshay Kumar promised to walk to the altar with her some three years ago. She managed to break the jinx by making a comeback with guest appearances and a dream role in Dharmesh Darshan`s Dhadkan.

All those who saw her perform recently in a very difficult shot in Manjrekar`s sequel to Vaastav, titled Pratibimb, couldn`t believe their eyes. "She requested me to hand over the dialogue sheets to her a week in advance and also insisted on having the shot canned in a single take, and she is simply brilliant," beamed a jubilant Manjrekar.

Shilpa also does not want the scene to be dubbed and begged the director to retain the original sound. A fastidious person like Manjrekar seldom complies with his actor`s demands unless it is his favourite Sanjay Dutt but he too gave in to her whims when he saw her allocating undivided attention to her role. Dutt himself has been maha impressed with her professionalism and invited her for a discussion after a particularly long and tiring day`s schedule. Beware, Shilpa. Sanjay is lonely and his roving eye doesn`t stop at a pretty young thing for nothing. For all you know your resurrected career may go for a toss the second time around too!
