Gulte Telugu news
Shakeela, a prominent figure in the romantic film industry who gained immense popularity among the youth in the early 2000s, especially for her roles in soft porn movies in Malayalam, has seen a tumultuous journey. She once competed with mainstream movies featuring top stars in the Malayalam film industry. Her craze was so substantial that it even led to calls from various quarters to ban her films.
However, Shakeela faced a series of challenges as the years went by. With the passage of time and changing industry trends, the demand for soft porn movies in Malayalam dwindled. In interviews, she has opened up about being deceived by her sister, who took away all her earnings. Shakeela, who transitioned to acting in regular films for a period, eventually faded from the limelight.
Now, with her entry into ‘Bigg Boss 7’, Shakeela reflects on the hardships she endured in the film industry. She also sheds light on her motivations for participating in the show and her ultimate goal.
Shakeela recalls her early aspirations, mentioning that her father, who worked as a make-up man, had initially promised to involve her in movies after she failed her 10th-grade exams. She was selected for a role as Silk Smitha’s sister in a film but faced a distressing turn of events when she was asked to do explicit scenes. Despite her reluctance, she felt compelled to support her family after her father’s passing by taking up roles in adult films.
She earned a substantial income but, due to fears of income tax scrutiny, hid her earnings in her house. Unfortunately, her sister took possession of all the money, and Shakeela found herself with nothing. She faced further challenges in her career, such as censorship issues that delayed the release of one of her films for four years. It was during this time that she received an opportunity from Teja to act in the film ‘Jayam,’ which altered her career trajectory.
In her pursuit of redemption and a fresh start, Shakeela entered ‘Bigg Boss’ with the goal of shedding her old image and revealing a different side of her personality to the public. She aspires to be known as ‘Shaki Amma’ and hopes that people will remember her for more than just the name Shakeela.
