Shilpa Shetty Calls the ’90s the ‘Golden Era’ of Bollywood
Jul 02, 2025Actress and wellness icon Shilpa Shetty has opened up about her fond memories of the 1990s, calling it the "golden era" of Bollywood. In a recent interview, the star reflected on her early years in the industry, shedding light on what made the decade so special — both professionally and personally.
“The ’90s were gold,” Shilpa said, with a touch of nostalgia. While many remember the decade for its iconic films and rising superstars, for Shilpa, it was about the freedom, camaraderie, and genuine human connection that defined that time.
She recalled moments spent on film sets where actors would play cards until the early hours of the morning, share biryani during breaks, and laugh freely without the ever-present lens of paparazzi. “We could live,” she said, noting the absence of today’s constant social media scrutiny and pressure to maintain a public persona.
Now a celebrated entrepreneur, fitness advocate, and mother, Shilpa has successfully evolved with the times, but her heart remains tied to the simplicity and joy of the era that launched her career.
Her reflections strike a chord with many in the industry who view the 1990s as a time of creative freedom, strong personal bonds, and a less commercialized approach to stardom.
As Bollywood continues to evolve, Shilpa Shetty’s sentiments serve as a reminder of a cherished past — one where life behind the scenes was just as rich as the stories played out on screen.
