Shilpa Shetty got engaged to her long time boyfriend, a businessman from London yesterday.Shilpa wore a stunning Manish Malhotra saree and uncut diamond jewellery designed by anmol Jewelery.
Like many famous US and UK celebrities, Shilpa was offered a deal by UK’s Hello mag for the coverage of her wedding ceremonies for 75,000 pounds. But Shilpa has said no to the deal.
A friend of Shilpa says, “It’s the first time than an Indian actress has been offered so much money for coverage of an event. This is more than what Aishwarya Rai was offered for her wedding. Shilpa is a big celebrity in the UK (thanks to her winning the reality show Big Brother) and Raj Kundra too is a well-known industrialist, so they were keen to cover this wedding.”
The friend adds,”One of the clauses in the contract offered by the international magazine was that no other photographers would be allowed at the event. Also they didn’t want any of the guests to carry their cell phones in case someone leaked the pictures to other media. And Shilpa wasn’t comfortable with both these conditions.” At the Elizabeth Hurley wedding, guests were frisked and their cell phones were taken away by the representatives of the magazine, and Shilpa didn’t want her guests to face a similar situation. Also, she is not looking to make money on this wedding. It is a sacred and a beautiful occasion for her, and she doesn’t want any bad energy around.”
Very well done Shilpa.Shilpa is getting married to Raj Kundra on 22nd November.
