Shilpa Shetty's kid-sister, Shamita Shetty, after not being able to find a foothold in Bollywood, has decided to take off to London to in search of another calling.
Reveals Shilpa, "Shamita is now entering another phase in her life and career. She is now heading to London for a six-month course in interior designing. We all felt this was the right move for her to make."
Significantly, Shamita moves to another career at a time when Shilpa herself has taken a sabbatical of sorts from acting. However, in her case, it is voluntary.
Explains Shilpa, "At the moment, I'm playing the most satisfying role of my life - that of an housewife. Films were never the be-all-end-all of my life.
Right now I find the idea of looking after my home far more exciting and challenging than rushing off to studios early morning."
