Shilpa Shetty, whose next film is titled Nikamma, recently remarked about being branded a ‘nikammi’ in a new interview. In the action comedy, which also stars Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia, the actor plays Agni, a superhero. Agni transforms Abhimanyu’s ‘nikamma’ (lazy) persona Siddharth into a responsible man in the film.

When asked if her father Surendra Shetty or mother Sunanda Shetty had ever nicknamed her ‘nikammi,’ Shilpa answered it was her mother who used the term. Sunanda lost her temper after seeing her prelims report, calling her “totally useless” and “nikammi,” Shilpa remembered.

She said to ETimes, “It happened to me when my mother saw my preliminary exam results right before my SSC exam. I had received a dismal score of 48 percent. I used to play volleyball. I was more interested in extracurricular activities, and I was chosen as a volleyball player for the Bombay zone. My mother, on the other hand, wept for the first time when she saw my results. She predicted that you’d be completely useless, worthless, and nikammi.”

Shilpa also expressed her feelings about her mother’s outburst. “She stated,” she explained “My life goal at the time was to become a volleyball coach, so I thought I had it all figured out. But, when I realised my mother was worried about my grades and the fact that I was a nikammi, I studied hard for ten days and got a good grade.” Shilpa’s mother was relieved, so everything was OK.

Nikamma, directed by Sabbir Khan, will be released in theatres on June 17. She recently appeared in the romance comedy Hungama 2 in 2021, which marked her 14-year return to the big screen. Nikamma, not Hungama 2, was supposed to be her comeback, she recently told Mashable India.
