Shilpa ShettyShilpa Shetty denounces the 'Big Baby' tag

In international circles, Shilpa Shetty has earned the tag of ‘Big Baby’ owing to her mom Sunanda Shetty accompanying her almost everywhere.

There were huge discussions about the 30 plus actress living with her parents and actress sister Shamita Shetty and being accompanied by her mother for all business meetings, tours and shoots.




Shilpa was not too happy about this tag from the western media. She quickly hit back by insisting that this is only about having a close-knit family. "It's purely for emotional reasons. After a hard day's work, I need someone I can come home to. I don't travel with mum because I'm a baby," she retorted.

Shilpa’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar came to her defense. “There are two basic reasons for the same, the first being the fact that Shilpa’s mum is like her best friend.

Secondly if her mum is around, Shilpa can be somewhat laidback as she looks into the nitty-gritty of all things. In a way it must feel like home for her. When she had joined ‘Big Brother’, it was the first time she was traveling alone abroad and was without her mom for so many days at a stretch.

Shilpa enjoys her mom’s company. And her mom too is also a very chirpy bubby and happy go lucky person who talks and even yaps at times. It won’t be an understatement to say that she is even bubblier than Shilpa and puts one at complete ease.”

“Her mum accompanies her sister Shamita too, but then Shamita is much more independent and outgoing. She is much stronger. If she doesn’t like somebody doing something, she quickly disciplines the other person.

While Shilpa can’t do that, she is too simple, sweet and extremely gullible. Sometimes if Sunanda Shetty is busy traveling with Shilpa, their dad travels with Shamita,” said Bhagwagar.

Bhagwagar added, “In the West, children and siblings move out of home once they reach a certain age. But that doesn’t happen here since we are more attached to our parents. Not that they don’t love their parents, but I think Shilpa and the rest are kind of upholding that very culture.

Some people even here might feel a little uncomfortable about being accompanied by parents for business meetings and shoots. But Shilpa loves her parents so much that she can never take things that way.”
