And let me tell you, Indian women are doing a great job. There are those who work because they have no option but to earn, and then there are those who do it because they have the right talent. I respect both.","author":"Shilpa Shetty","tags":["work","courage","women "],"id":86374,"author_id":"Shilpa+Shetty"},{"text":"I adore gardening and plan to take it up properly when I have a bit more time on my hands. Until then, I love pottering in garden centres. I'm totally low maintenance. I don't ask for fancy plants, just basic, long-lasting shrubs that look nice. But I am particular about flowers.","author":"Shilpa Shetty","tags":["love","time","flowers "],"id":129120,"author_id":"Shilpa+Shetty"},{"text":"I want a happy marriage and whatever it takes to achieve that. But I think the main prerequisite would have to be respect. He would have to respect me and vice-versa. And, that would be more important than being in love. I think respect really goes a long way.

And your inner circle is your family.","author":"Shilpa Shetty","tags":["life","family","happy "],"id":282163,"author_id":"Shilpa+Shetty"},{"text":"I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that's very simple on the digestive system - I tend to keep it light.

We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go.","author":"Shilpa Shetty","tags":["i am","beach","busy "],"id":381294,"author_id":"Shilpa+Shetty"},{"text":"I'm not an early bird at all.
