Shilpa Shirodkar Death Rumours: Shilpa Shirodkar recalls the confusion during Raghuveer shoot. Shilpa mentions that rumours about her death were spread to promote the film.
Shilpa Shirodkar was recently seen in Bigg Boss 18.
Shilpa Shirodkar was once rumoured to have died during the shoot of Raghuveer. The 1995 film starred Suniel Shetty as the titular hero, alongside Shilpa Shirodkar, Suresh Oberoi, Sudha Chandran, Mohnish Bahl, Aruna Irani, Gulshan Grover, and Prem Chopra. During the film’s shoot, a rumour was circulated that Shilpa had been shot dead. This created panic at the actress’s house. However, she was later told by the makers that it was a promotional activity for the film.
In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Shilpa Shirodkar recalled the misunderstanding. “I was in Kullu Manali. My dad was trying to call the hotel because we didn’t have mobile phones at that time. I was shooting with Suniel Shetty there. Everyone who was watching the shoot there kept thinking if this is Shilpa or someone else because they knew the news,” she said.
Shilpa added, “When I came back to the room, there were around 20-25 missed calls. My parents were worried, there was a headline in a newspaper that Shilpa Shirodkar was shot dead.”
However, the film’s producer later told her that it was a promotional strategy. “When he told me, I was like ‘Okay’. Yes, thoda zyada hogaya. There was no PR activity or anything at that time. Kuch pata hi nahi tha na. I was the last one to know that something like this was going to happen. No one used to take permission at that time. The film worked well, so I wasn’t really angry,” the actor shared.
Meanwhile, Shilpa Shirodkar will next be seen in Jatadhara, a highly anticipated pan‑India supernatural thriller that marks her return to the silver screen after several years away. Jatadhara is a supernatural mystery thriller centred around the enigmatic Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple and its hidden mystical lore.
It blends suspense, intrigue, and mythological elements into an atmospheric narrative. Sudheer Babu headlines the film, undergoing intense physical training for the role. Sonakshi Sinha debuts in a Telugu-Hindi bilingual project and shares the screen with Shilpa for the first time. Shilpa Shirodkar plays a key role, marking her comeback following her stint on Bigg Boss 18.
