She looks a million dollar bucks and radiates an inner charm. What`s more she has signed ten major films - mainstream and parallel. So shouldn`t Shilpa Shetty be rejoicing? Far from it! The sexy actress is sulking. And for no fault of hers. Or so she presumes.

It so happened that two big production houses planning big films approached her with offers she couldn`t refuse. In the course of their conversation, the filmmakers, who were fairly new to her films, asked her which actresses she admired. Pat came the reply, "Sridevi and Julia Roberts." Now the "inspiration" and the "inspired" didn`t seem to have anything in common. So the filmmakers thought.

So the directors decided to move on. They are said to be negotiating with "other actresses who could deliver".It takes more than glamour and good looks to get good, meaty roles, lady!
