Shilpa Shetty who is considered as the fitness role model in our country, recently turned down to feature in an advertisement, endorsing an Ayurvedic slimming pill. Shilpa was offered a whopping amount of Rs. 10 crore for endorsing the brand.

A source close to Shilpa has revealed, that she has always been clear about adopting the healthy route to fitness. Shilpa is a strict yoga practitioner and a firm believer in the concept of eating right and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, who has time and again cautioned youngsters, to not fall for fad diets or unnatural substitutes for weight loss. Hence it was a no-brainer for her to let the deal pass.

Shilpa confirmed the news and said that she can’t sell something that she don’t believe in. Slimming pills and fad diets can be tempting since they promise instant results, but nothing beats the sense of pride of being committed to ones routine, eating right. She believes lifestyle modification works much better in the long term.

At the age of 44, Shilpa Shetty is still one of the most fittest celebrities in Bollywood, who has time and again been idolised for her fitness level.
