Shilpa Shirodkar was considered a ‘s*x symbol’ of the Hindi film industry. Her steamy song with Anil Kapoor in Kishen Kanhaiya in the 1990s gave her instant recognition in the industry.
Shilpa also hit headlines in the 1990s for her alleged relationship with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. It was once rumoured that she was dating Tendulkar. As both came from Maharashtrian families, the gossip spread thick and fast.
Tendulkar has always rubbished this news and even said that he has never met Shilpa in his life. However, Shilpa has neither denied nor acknowledged the news. Both are married now and well-settled in their respective lives.
