She says "Dus" offered her a great opportunity as an artiste while "Fareb" is important because it is the first time she gets to work with sister Shamita.
"'Dus' is an intrigue film, very intense, stylishly shot in which I am playing more of a hero. I have never looked the same in any other film and never essayed such a role in my career... On the other hand, the character in 'Fareb' has totally different shades to it, of a doctor involved in social service who dotes on her family," says Shilpa.
She denies rumours that she took the initiative in doing "Fareb" to give a boost to Shamita's career. "On the contrary, I had to literally plead with her to do the film since she was reluctant to take up the role at the first go... She doesn't need anyone to boost her career prospects."
