shilpa shetty, who became famous worldwide and specially UK after her win on the reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, is now all set to marry businessman Raj Kundra this autumn, which her father has revealed to the news media in an application to an Indian court.
Shilpa Shetty and her London-based Indian beau formed a successful business partnership following her appearance on the reality television show. Their business empire includes a $16.2 million (10 million pounds) stake in the Rajasthan Royals Twenty20 cricket team and a recently acquired food company. Thats a big business plan indeed.
According to Bollywood actress Shilpa’s father Surendra Shetty, the couple’s wedding plans in an application for his passport to be returned to allow him to attend the event. It was confiscated after he was charged with threatening a business associate he claimed owed money to his daughter, according to reports. Now that seems like the gateway to yet another Bollywood Gossip which we would like to reveal pretty shortly.
Shilpa’s father Surendra Shetty is accused of sending gangsters to collect a debt from sari manufacturer Pankaj Agarwal after his firm Praful Sarees failed to pay Shilpa for a modelling assignment when her Bollywood career was at a low point. Since then, Surendra Shetty and his wife Sunanda have only been able to travel overseas with the court’s permission.
In his application, Surendra Shetty informed the court the wedding would take place between September and the end of December in Britain.

Varun Badola and his wife Rajeshwari Sachdev Badola had a great and auspicious time spending time with Ganpati Bappa in their building’s residence. The couple made sure that the festival organized by the kids of their building, under their guidance, does learn about the environment problems as well. “It was the kids of our complex who initiated the whole thing. It was a great experience and a touching one too. Infact it bought all our society and loved ones together which is very hard thing to do in this busy and fast running world. We made sure that we got an eco-friendly Ganesha, seeing the environmental problems the world is facing,” says Rajeshwari. Varun too was involved with the different activities but laughingly admits, “I didn’t helped my wife when she was busy cooking Prasad for the devotees.”

Close on the heels of Shah Rukh Khan's Newark ordeal comes the news that Sanjay Dutt has been denied visa to visit US. Sanju was really looking forward to meeting his daughter Trishala but thhis visa was turned down on grounds that he he reportedly has a so-called criminal record. And as most people will know that the authorities are very strict about such matters. Poor Sanju had no choice but to return from the consulate empty handed.
However, his Man Friday Dharam Oberoi insists that Sanjay had gone to the consulate to meet his friends and insisted that there was no question of him being denied a US visa.

Salman says, “What Shah Rukh does or says is not of the least interest to me but he is one of the most insecure actors. If he could get rid of that he would actually be a nice fellow. When we were all starting out in our careers, and were in the Rs 4 to 5 lakh bracket, we were friends. As we became more and more famous, he grew more insecure.”

On being linked up with many girl, Salman says, Two people may have just begun dating, they need time to know one another, to understand one another and you people start writing that they are in a relationship. That puts an awful amount of pressure on them and they are almost forced to get into a relationship.When they find they are not terribly compatible and don’t want to take the relationship further, you people say, he is changing girlfriends all the time.” Huh?

From the last couple of days, the news channels are going ballistic with the breaking news about Salman Khan being the next Bollywood personality (After Preity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan-Juhi Chawla and Shilpa Shetty) who will buy an IPL team. There also live SMS surveys going around on channels to gauge the public mood!
However, that is far from the truth. When we contacted Salman's brother, Sohail Khan, through a TV journalist, Sohail said clearly " Salman bhai is not buying any IPL team. He did meet the IPL Commissioner, Lalit Modi, and enquired about the involved costs and procedures for becoming an IPL franchisee. But there are chances that he (Salman) may become the brand ambasador of one of the teams."
