Reinvention is the key to her 31-year career, believes Shilpa Shetty Kundra. She advises to change with the changing times. “I have done television, YouTube, radio, started my own app, and invested in Bastian. A web series was the next medium to connect with the audience,” says the actor as she makes her web series debut with Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force. And she has a fierce avatar to boot. Shilpa plays Tara Shetty, a no-nonsense cop in the Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi-starrer. “This is the best debut I could have thought of. It’s a Rohit Shetty [show]. I am a Shetty playing a Shetty in another Shetty’s world.”

The actor plays the first female cop in Rohit’s elaborate cop-verse. The role brings with it pride and responsibility that as a woman in a man’s world, she is paving the way for her female peers. “I have to give credit to Rohit. He had an image for the character and he treated it like that, without gender bias. Even during an altercation scene with Sidharth, my character doesn’t scream; she goes for him with power and punch. Initially, I was unable to do this series because of dates. But I moved things around because I couldn’t have passed it up. Tara Shetty is a badass, speaks her mind, and is a woman in power. She is called Selfish Shetty in 
the series.”
