Shipa Shukla acted in the highly acclaimed nationally and internationally recognised movie 'Khamosh Pani' but only after the block buster 'Chak De' she began to get recognition and offers.

She was called Bindiya Naik in Shah Rukh's movie which had enough space for Shilpa to show her talent.

So what was this lady doing all this time after she acted in 'Chak De India'?

Shipla was getting offers but the issue of getting stereotyped was also there to be handled.

The roles that she was being offered all had shades of negativity in them as she played a slightly negative role in 'Chak De'.

She thought that it is better to wait for the right movie to make its calling than make compromises and accept what is being offered to be just in the limelight.

And her patience has paid off.

Shilpa has been selected to be the leading lady opposite Abhay Deol in his next movie titled as 'Junction'.

The love story is to be directed by the debutant director Atul Sabharwal.

Atul has been working previously as a script writer and has written scripts for films like 'Phir Milenge', 'My Wife's Murder' and 'Darna Mana Hai'.
