The Hungama 2 actress penned a thoughtful note which read,

“My heart goes out to all the kids around the globe who have been severely affected by the pandemic. They can't interact with friends, can't have a wholesome all-rounded (physical) education; but this is the need of the hour. While we can’t blatantly expose them to the virus; we need to find ways to make it up to them”.

On a closing note, she added, 

“We need to take baby steps. This World Education Day, let’s come together to ensure that not just our kids, but also kids from all walks of life can exercise their right to education without compromising on their safety. Here’s to a stronger Gen Next. Stay safe, stay healthy! Happy World Education Day!”

Lately, Shilpa has been rooting for her sister Shamita Shetty to win Bigg Boss 15. 

On the work front, Shilpa is currently judging India's Got Talent with Kirron Kher, Manoj Muntashir and Badshah. She made her comeback in the films last year with Hungama 2 co-starring Paresh Rawal, Meezaan and Pranitha Subhash.
