Meanwhile, on the work front, actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra was last seen in the series 'Indian Police Force' where she played a cop. The series directed by Rohit Shetty also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi. 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," the actress told mid-day.
