Shilpa vs Shilpa this Friday

Coming Friday will see not one, but two films of Shilpa Shetty vying for the public attention and hoping to set the cash registers ringing at the box-office.

The films are Dus and Fareb , but Shilpa is playing entirely different roles in the two films.


Dus, which is a multi-starrer thriller has Shilpa in the first action role of her career. She plays Aditi, an officer with the Anti-Terrorist Cell assigned with the task of flushing out a master terrorist and uncover a sinister plot.

Alongwith Shilpa, Dus stars Sanjay Dutt , Abhishek Bachchan , Zayed Khan , Sunil Shetty , Esha Deol , Dia Mirza and Raima Sen .

Dus, all about exploding cars, gravity- defying bikes and aerial encounters, promises to be a treat for action lovers.

The second release this Friday will be Fareb, which will have Shilpa sharing screen space for the first time with her sister Shamita Shetty .

The male lead role in Fareb is played by Manoj Bajpai .

Shilpa’s character in Fareb is that of a doctor named Neha, who is also a devoted wife. In Shilpa’s own words Neha she is the ideal Indian woman someone who balances her work and her family very well.

Fareb has Shamita becoming obsessive about Bajpai, who is married to Shilpa.

If Aditi of Dus is an outgoing person for whom bashing up or killing terrorists comes as a part of the job, Neha of Fareb is very simple and a thoughtful person. She is someone very humane and that is something her husband (Bajpai) also admires her for, it's a very sweet, very nice character.

Whichever of these films become a bigger hit, Shilpa will be the winner in both the cases.
