Actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra recently shared that she considers herself a ‘survivor’ because doctors had advised her mother Sunanda Shetty to abort her. She revealed that her mother believed she was going to lose her, because she had a very difficult pregnancy. This experience has led her to believe that she was born for a purpose.

In an interview with Zoom Entertainment, “My mom told me that when I was conceived, she thought she was going to lose me, and the doctors suggested that she should abort the child because she went through a very difficult pregnancy. They thought she was going to have a miscarriage because she was constantly bleeding. I was stillborn. I just feel like I am a survivor.”

She continued, “So, she always believed that I was here for a purpose, and that just makes me feel like films are just a catalyst in my life. I’m here to maybe do something and maybe be a source of inspiration for people who are going through a lot. If  you see my social media, I’m constantly putting up messages because we are all having a hard time in life. Not everyone has it easy.”

Shilpa also stressed that dedication is crucial for success, and this is a lesson she learned early in life. She said that she is not apologetic about providing her children with necessities, even if they may seem like luxuries now. She and her husband Raj Kundra come from a middle-class backgrounds.

Shilpa tied the knot with businessman Raj Kundra in 2009. They have two children – Viaan and Samisha. On the work front, Shilpa will next be seen in the film Sukhee.
