<p align="justify">Actor Shamita Shetty had a dream debut with Aditya Chopra’s ‘Mohabbatein’ though her stint in Bollywood has been sporadic of late. The break was intentional as Shamita decided to pursue interior designing.<br /><br />The actor, who was in the city to inaugurate a new branch of ‘Advanced Beauty Cosmetic Clinic’, talks to Surupasree Sarmmah about making a comeback in the entertainment industry, her idea of beauty and more. <br /><br />How did the shift from movies to interior designing happen?<br />After a few films in Bollywood, I wasn’t happy with the work that was coming my way. Around the same time, I designed the interiors of a night club owned by my brother-in-law. The fun that I had in the entire process inspired me to learn more and I took off to London to study. <br /><br />Any plans of a comeback...<br />I am doing a web series that will be released next month. <br /><br />Thoughts on web series...<br />The content that you see here is very different from other formats. There is no censorship so directors are able to experiment a lot more. <br /><br />Your idea of beauty...<br />For me, beauty is not just external but also who you are within. As far as I am concerned, I don’t like doing too much makeup... but hair, maybe yeah! (laughs)<br /><br />How was your experience of being a part of reality shows?<br />I don’t plan anything in my life. I have participated in ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’ and ‘Bigg Boss’. However, ‘Bigg Boss’ is not something that I would want to venture into now, because of how things are. Overall, I don’t think there are any reality shows that catch my attention now. <br /><br />What would you choose — dancing or acting?<br />I enjoy dancing. But given a choice, I would choose acting because I haven’t explored it enough. <br /><br />Do you read?<br />I find it very boring to sit in one place and read. But if you give me a book on topics like health, fitness or spirituality, then I can read it.<br /><br />Heels or flats...<br />Heels. I prefer wearing them when I am going out as they make me feel feminine. <br /><br />Songs in your playlist...<br />‘Bon Appétit’ by Katy Perry, ‘Swalla’ by Jason Derulo and ‘Something Just Like This’ by Chainsmokers. <br /><br />A beach-facing house or a penthouse...<br />A beach-facing house. There is something very calm about the sound of the waves. </p>
