Shilpa Shetty Quotes

I tell students and young professionals all the time to follow their hearts, do what they truly love, and if it's business, run it by being grounded in ethical consciousness.

It's good to stand for something, to believe in something and base your business on values.

I'd never make something pointless that I don't believe in. I don't think I could do it.

I do believe in standing for something more than just a product.

I am a free man. I don't need to earn money. But I need to love what I do.

But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.

I never considered myself an entertainer. I always felt I had to be connected to something meaningful, or it wasn't worth doing.

I had a corporate job and wore a suit to work every day, and I just kind of felt like I wasn't living my authentic self or doing what I was passionate about.

I don't feel like I've ever subscribed to the stereotypical notion of success. I've always equated success with having integrity, conducting yourself with compassion and honesty, and following your heart despite whether or not you ever make any money at it.

If you feel very deeply about something, it's not possible to sacrifice your integrity about that.

There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment.

Be fair in all your dealings, may it be in your family or in your business. At the end of it all, what matters is not how much money you make but how honest you are.

If I remain true to what's in my heart, that's all the success I need.

I have turned down a lot of money for things that would have made me feel cheesy.

It is better to be true to what you believe, though that be wrong, than to be false to what you believe, even if that belief is correct.

We need to have business leaders who live by deep, strong principles.

I love what I do, and I'm not doing anything either for money or for the sake of some unfulfilled ambition.

What really matters is that you do what you think is right, what you believe in, and you surround yourself with the people you care about in this world. That's what counts in this life.

Look at the Quakers - they were excellent business people that never lied, never stole; they cared for their employees and the community which gave them the wealth. They never took more money out than they put back in.

The goal isn't how much money you make, but how much you help people.

I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently... This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.

When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.

I would never, never do anything unless I believed in it.
