No acting for a year: Shilpa Shetty


Actress Shilpa Shetty is not planning to return to acting for at least another year as she is busy taking care of her son Viaan.

"Having a baby is a full time time job so there is no time for, you know, acting. I am doing endorsements because that happens at my time. I feel for acting, it will take me almost one year," the 37-year-old said here in an interview.

Shilpa, married to businessman Raj Kundra, gave birth to Viaan May 21. Besides Viaan, Shilpa is currently focussing on her business ventures.

"Right now I am a full time mother and I have my various business ventures that I am concentrating on. We are focussing on my home production 'Dhishkiyaon' and next year we should be up and ready for release," Shilpa said.

"Besides, I am going big time with (my spa) IOSIS. My franchises are opening up here and there, so I am really happy with that," she added.

Shilpa has become number two in my life: Raj Kundra

Raj Kundra says he loves every bit of privilege that come his way after he married Shilpa Shetty 

It's been almost three years since Raj Kundra wed Shilpa Shetty, but it looks like the man just cannot get over his wife's star status. 

While many commoners who marry celebrities find it tough to step into their new roles, Raj in fact states that he loves the privileges that come with marrying a star, especially the VIP treatment meted out to the couple. 

Raj says, Being married to a celebrity has its own perks. Be it making a trip to Lucknow with Shilpa to launch her spa and salon or going for a darshan at Siddhivinayak, we get VIP treatment everywhere. It's all thanks to Shilpa's stardom.
While Shilpa recently stated that she looked forward to getting back to acting once her son Viaan grows up, her businessman husband says he has no plans of getting in front of the cameras. He points out, Acting? My wife will kill me!

About his production plans, Raj says, I am launching something different next year which is slightly different to what Shilpa wants to do.

In a mock-sad voice, Raj rues that post the birth of their son, he has become priority number two in his wife's life. Life has totally changed after the baby. I don't mind as Shilpa has also become number two in my life in the same way!

My husband is very pricey

Shilpa Shetty explains why she will never give a break to hubby Raj Kundra to act in one of her films 

Back to the spotlight with her and husband Raj Kundra's latest venture, the Super Fight League, Shilpa Shetty looks fighting fit. She admits to not only 'killing herself' at the gym, she is equally upbeat about getting back to acting in films and is even producing one. 

Though hubby Raj has been by her side at every step of her life, post marriage, ask her if she wants to give a 'break' to him in acting, the actress-turned-entrepreneur says a big NO. 

In between giggles, she explains, Raj is too costly! Our production house can't afford him. He's quite a star at home and is gaining popularity that way. However, she adds that she likes to address him as the 'wind beneath my wings'.

Shilpa is happy that her husband, through their newest sports venture, has decided to throw light on a sporting sector that often lacks the attention. 
She says, It's wonderful to see how Raj has actually given a platform to young fighters to showcase their talent and even make it their career. It is unfortunate to see that deserving people can't afford even basic nutrition and amenities.

The actress can't wait to get back to the big screen. After her sabbatical from the industry, she has had a baby apart from her getting busy with her business ventures. Shilpa say, I am who I am because of acting. Once Viaan grows up, I will obviously get back to acting.

Traveling with baby tough: Shilpa Shetty


Shilpa Shetty can't travel light with her baby! The actress, who became a proud mother of son Viaan in May, had a tough time travelling with her baby for the first time.

"Travelled with @ViaanRajKundra for the first time, had to carry half the house, phew! So much stuff! Not easy travelling with a child... but was fun," Shilpa tweeted.

Shilpa didn't mention where she took Viaan, but recently she travelled to the capital without her son.

No time for films: Shilpa Shetty


Actress Shilpa Shetty, mother of three-month-old son Viaan, says she is enjoying motherhood and is not thinking about getting back to films right now.

"Right now, I am a full-time mother and completely enjoying it. I have no time for films. I am on a sabbatical for I don't know how long. Motherhood is such an amazing experience that everything else takes a back seat, " said Shilpa.

Shilpa, who is married to businessman Raj Kundra, became a mother May 21. She was here at an event to promote skin-care line Olay. This was her first public appearance post-delivery.

Talking about the changes the baby has brought to her life, she said: "Life has changed from being a woman to a mother but it is beautiful."

But coming back to shape post-pregnancy brings a lot of stress for any lady, says the 37-year-old whose baby fat was evident in a loose white and black outfit.

"There are surely lot of insecurities about your weight, skin and the way you look post-pregnancy. But all this becomes a lot easy when you have good and right advice.

"There are pressures on every woman but being a celebrity when we are scrutinised every time for everything, the pressure surely increases. But I haven't started losing weight because it is not on my priority list right now. It is my baby and all that is important for him that tops the list, " she said.

Weight loss is more time consuming compared to skin care.

"Losing weight and being in shape requires a lot of hard work, a lot of time, a balanced diet. But when it comes to skin care, it is far easier. I think less is more when it comes to skin. The lesser you do it, the better it looks. That has always been my mantra.

"We are in a time and age when people don't want to see something fake or too overly done up. If you have to look good, you should have good and healthy skin, " said the actress, who turns to her mother when it comes to taking any beauty and health tips.

The actress decided to have her close friends over to watch the first episode air on TV. She had made arrangements for all her near and dear ones as well as friends from the industry to have a comfortable outing at her place and express their delight at the potential that India's first action reality show holds.

Deepika and Shilpa have the best bodies: Kirti Kulhari

To be in showbiz, Kirti Kulhari knows that it's essential to look good and fit

But with four films on the way and the monsoons ready to play havoc on her skin and hair, how does she find time to look good? Kirti spoke to B-S about her skin and fitness regime:

Beauty basics
I cleanse my skin two-three times a day with a cleansing lotion for sensitive skin. I apply pure aloe vera gel directly taken from the plant for a couple of hours daily. It's the best thing for any kind of skin. And at night, I apply an eye cream.

As for my hair, I it as soon as it starts feeling frizzy, oily and dirty. I do an oil massage before washing it each time. I make sure the ends are well conditioned as the weather makes it really frizzy. I also apply a mixture of egg, curd and lemon to my hair. It brings back the shine.
A body to die for
I workout about 4-5 times a week. That's when I'm not shooting. During shoots, it gets quite difficult to manage any workout in the gym, so I stick to either doing yoga. I love playing badminton so I catch up on it whenever I get a chance.

In Bollywood, I think Shilpa Shetty and Deepika Padukone have the best bodies. They are well-toned and slim. In men, I like Hrithik and Dino Morea's bodies. They are lean and well-toned.

Foodie tales
Diet plays the most important role in helping one stay fit. I'm generally a healthy and small eater so going overboard doesn't really happen. But there are times that I cut down on carbs post 6 pm and stick to more of salads and soups. I make sure I add good amount of protein in all my three major meals and also include fruits, nuts, green tea and dairy products in my diet.

The new mommy returns: I am married I don't live with Shamita

Motherhood comes with its share of beauty woes. For instance, massive hairfall. However, Shilpa Shetty is not one to let all this bog her down.

The lady was looking gorgeous and even shot for an ad with her sister. In an interview to B-S, the glam girls talk about beauty, fashion and shopping:

Camera calls
Shilpa: Shooting for the ad was great fun. We didn`t have to act per se. Our chemistry always comes out well. All in all, it was a fabulous experience. Now, I am married I don`t live with Shamita. Doing the ad meant we could spend time together.

Shamita: After Fareb in 2005, this is the second time we are facing the camera together. It was a nice experience.
Beautiful babes
Shilpa: As sisters, we were unaware of the concept of looking beautiful till we were around 15. Post my 10th standard, I did a beautician`s course and got a hang of beauty, grooming, etc. Today, kids are far more knowledgeable about fashion and beauty. I started following Dimple Kapadia`s hairstyles after watching Ram Lakhan. When it came to acting, Sridevi was my No.1

Shamita: I was a complete tomboy totally engrossed in sports. Most of the time, I would roam around in shorts and T-shirts. When it came to B-town actresses, I idolised Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi for their dancing skills and expressions. 

Tress stress
Shilpa: In monsoons, I would tell every girl to condition her hair well. Frizzy hair is a common problem with Indian women, and that can be handled with a good conditioner and serum.

Shamita: My advice would be the same. In case, these don`t work just do a nice ponytail and accessorise with clips. Problem sorted.
Shopping sisters
Shilpa: I hate shopping with Shamita. Whenever we go to a mall, Shamita enters every shop and tries out 30 different outfits. I pick up a couple of outfits and buy them without trying. But we do take each other`s advice as we are our best and worst critics.

Shamita: I trust Shilpa's choice. She always does something different and makes it look good. Shilpa has always made me do `hatke` stuff. I love shopping with her.

Racism row again hits an Indian on Big Brother


In 2007 actress Shilpa Shetty was the victim of racial remarks on "Celebrity Big Brother". Five years later, Indian British model Deana Uppal faced similar "insults" from a fellow contestant on the British reality show.

Upal, winner of 2012 Miss India UK crown, hails from Birmingham and had done modelling assignments in India and Britain. On the show, she has been adderesed as a "piece of shit" by one of the housemates - Conor McIntyre.

After watching the show, 1, 200-plus viewers filed complaints against the racits remarks to Ofcom, Britain's television regulator and it has mounted a probe.

The incident occurred on June 25 episode and many viewers thought that McIntyr's behaviour amounted to bullying, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

McIntyre has been warned about his behaviour by Big Brother producers after he used a string of expletives.

In another episode, aired on June 28, a female housemate called a black contestant "ridiculous gorilla" with "no sanitation" and Ofcom said it registered 114 complaints from viewers about the remark, which was perceived as racist.

A Channel 5 spokesman said the broadcaster is committed to complying with Ofcom's broadcasting code and "will help to facilitate a speedy investigation into this particular episode of 'Big Brother'."

Deana Uppal compared to Shilpa Shetty with Big Brother!


Asians as well as Britons are expecting a lot out of Deana Uppal; the new desi in UK’s reality show Big Brother since Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.

But Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar, who happens to be Shilpa’s ex-publicist, feels Deana and Shilpa are two different personalities which many are trying to mix.

According to the public relations expert, Deana has hit some right and similar chords on the show. He points out that Conor McIntyre, Deana’s co-participant on Big Brother, ranted to his fellow housemates about Deana after she failed to finish eating her chosen dish in the Confusing Cusine task.

“If you remember, Jade Goody’s argument with Shilpa too, began over food, when Jade refused to eat the chicken Shilpa had made, ” Dale reminds. True! Both Conor and Jade's arguments also resulted in a huge number of complaints to the British Office of Communications, commonly known as Ofcom.

By comparing Deana with Shilpa, the publicity expert feels, people are missing the bigger picture. “Shilpa was an epitome of goodness and a great forgiver. At the same time, in Big Brother she was the righteous fighter and a survivor beyond comparison, ” he remarks.

The 23-year-old Deana, who lives in Mumbai now, is basically a model from Birmingham, and also the reigning Miss India UK.

Considering the volatile situation most Housemates face in Big Brother, no doubt, it will be an extremely uphill task for her to match that charisma and what Dale terms as “the Shilpa-effect”. “Though anyone would be happy if she does, ” he adds on a positive note.

Shilpa gets sensual, to do bold scenes with Chinese actor

Shilpa gets sensual, to do bold scenes with Chinese actorThe actress has indulged in some intimate scenes in her next movie 'The Desire: A Journey of A Woman'Link

The last time we saw Shilpa Shetty on the big screen, she was prancing around on a beautiful beach in a two-piece with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan for company.

And though her Dostana act attracted more eyeballs than she could have imagined, the Bollywood beauty is definitely in the mood to display more than just her much-envied figure.

Shilpa, who is playing an Oddisi dancer in her next film The Desire: A Journey of A Woman, has apparently indulged in some seriously bold sequences with co-star Xia Yu in the film.

"I had no qualms in doing these scenes as these sequences are an integral part of the film, and have been aesthetically shot, " says Shilpa.

Daring notes

It does looks like one of the most interesting characters Shilpa has essayed in her 17-year-long career.

Which is why it is not surprising that the actress would go to any lengths to make herself look convincing enough on screen.

Shilpa gets sensual, to do bold scenes with Chinese actorSays a source, "In the film, a world famous Chinese painter is madly in love with Shilpa's character Gautami, but she does not really respond to him.

These sequences are a part of the story building up to how far their friendship goes."

The actress, who has been looking for a substantial script to come her way since her much-acclaimed performance in Anurag Basu's Life In A Metro, seems more than happy with this project.

"The film traces Gautami's journey through a number of years.

The love story is beautiful and the passion between the two characters is almost like a painting. I would say that it's my character Gautami, who is bold, and not the scenes per say, " explains Shilpa.

Shilpa Shetty desires fair, equalized catching on IPL fiasco

Shilpa Shetty desires fair, equalized catching on IPL fiascoActress turned businesswoman Shilpa Shetty , who's distressed after the termination of her IPL team Rajasthan Royals (RR), says she wants a fair and balanced hearing over the matter.

"It's been a very distressing time for us all at RR after all we've put in (passion n time)," Shilpa wrote on microblogging site Twitter Thursday. "All we ask is for a fair and balanced hearing on issues raised, given the adverse national and international impact on 'Brand IPL' in the interests of fans and teams."

"Most importantly a transparent process and enquiry..allegation is that our ownership has changed since 2008. Thats Untrue," she said.

"The only change to ownership was the introduction of my husband Raj Kundra, for which we had full BCCI permission and support at the time," she added.

The IPL governing council (GC) terminated the contracts of Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab for violating the franchise pact. While Shilpa and her London-based husband Raj Kundra own Rajasthan Royals, actress Preity Zinta has a stake in Kings XI Punjab.

Shilpa had said at the time that she was "too shocked to react" to the termination. "This is for all those who want my reaction 'Honestly too shocked to react, just disheartened... cause it's more than just a team for us! Still haven't received the termination, will react after. Need to know the basis of this decision.' In London now (sic)," Shilpa tweeted at the time.
