Mumbai: Actress Shamita Shetty has written a deeply emotional birthday message for her elder sister, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, on June 8. In her tribute, Shamita described Shilpa as the 'blueprint for strength and grace' and referred to her as her 'forever blessing'. The younger sister took to social media to share a series of heartwarming photographs that capture their special bond.
Cherished Moments Captured in Photos
The images shared by Shamita offer a glimpse into the close relationship between the two sisters. One picture shows them twinning in elegant black outfits while posing together at a restaurant. Another adorable photograph captures Shilpa surrounded by a litter of kittens on her lap, showcasing her softer side. The post was accompanied by a touching message from Shamita, who affectionately addressed Shilpa by her family nickname, Munki.
Sharing the pictures, Shamita wrote, 'Happy Birthday my darling Munki. My forever blessing. For me you've always been the blueprint for strength and grace, inspiring me in so many ways. Thank you for being my sister, my guiding light. Can't imagine my life without you. Love you to infinity.'
A Bond That Stands the Test of Time
For the uninitiated, Shamita and Shilpa have often spoken about their close-knit bond over the years. While Shilpa is fondly known as Munki within the family, Shamita's nickname is Tunki. The sisters have consistently described each other as pillars of strength, supporting one another through life's ups and downs.
One of the most memorable moments from Shamita's life unfolded during her first stint on the reality show 'Bigg Boss' in 2009. Hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, that season saw Shamita learning about Shilpa's engagement to businessman Raj Kundra while she was inside the house. The actress was visibly emotional and broke down upon hearing the news, overwhelmed by the surprise. Shamita eventually had to exit the show midway to attend Shilpa Shetty's wedding to Raj Kundra.
Professional Journey
On the professional front, Shamita Shetty made her Bollywood debut with the blockbuster 'Mohabbatein' in 2000 and went on to feature in films such as 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai', 'Zeher', 'Fareb', and 'Cash'. Apart from films, she has been a popular face on reality television, participating in shows including 'Bigg Boss 15' and 'Bigg Boss OTT'. Her career continues to thrive, and her bond with her sister remains a source of inspiration for fans.
