She is by far the tallest actress in Bollywood with a figure to kill for. But these facts and figures are proving to be quite an impediment to Shilpa Shetty's growth. Now did we hear you snigger what growth?

Considering the actress has a swell bod and perhaps has only a Dhadkan to her credit in which she was expected to emote for a change besides looking ultra glamorous in chiffon sarees, shouldn't ‘growth' be deciphered as something pertaining to her progression and maturity as an actor? Well, any other actor in her place would like to think so. But not Ms. Shetty. When quizzed about the limited choice of male leads opposite her at a time when she should be going beyond the song and dance routine, she is supposed to have retorted, "Why, but I am definitely growing. I have films with even actors who are as tall or are even shorter?"

Thank God for small mercies. For all you know, this sexy actress could well be talking about adding three inches when she struts around wearing her stiletoes! And that's ‘growth' for her, if you please! Whoever said bimbettes need have brains too? We love you, as is Ms. Shetty.
