In Phir Milenge, Shilpa sheds her glamorous image and wears minimal makeup, probably for the first time in her career.
She plays a person with AIDS in the film.
The actress claimed that she did not know the difference between HIV-positive and AIDS before she signed the film.
But by the end of the shooting, Shilpa knew more than just the basics. Among other things, she realised that India had the second largest population of AIDS-affected people in the world.
