Shilpa have surprise to her husband

IKLAN

Shilpa Shetty’s plan to have a surprise birthday party for husband Raj Kundra (September 9) have gone for a toss. A last-minute change in Raj’s work schedule has put a spanner in the works. The actress had made reservations at their favourite resort in Bali and had planned a special surprise for him at the resort. She had meticulously drawn up a list of everything Raj likes. The idea was to make his birthday memorable.

Kundra had to suddenly rush to Europe on urgent business and is expected to return only by September 8. "Shilpa is extremely disappointed as she had to cancel all her arrangements and bookings. There will now be a low-key birthday bash with family and a few close friends."

The rain has further added to Mrs Kundra’s troubles. The actress was to welcome Ganesha into her new home for the first time on September 11.

"She’d got the makers of Lalbaugcha Raja to make her idol. But due to the heavy rain, the exterior of the bungalow is not ready. Also the newly planted trees have been damaged and the garden is in a mess. It will be a few more weeks before the house is ready. Now she will have to celebrate Ganpati at her Juhu flat and she is quite upset about this," says a source.

IKLAN

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty rushed to London to meet her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jade Goody on hearing that the British reality TV star was close to death but was not allowed to meet her.

"When I left for London on Sunday, I thought I’d be able to meet her but her condition has deteriorated further. She’s heavily drugged and hardly awake," Shilpa said.

Doctors have said the cancer-stricken Jade is only hours away from death.

"I really want to meet her but unfortunately only her mother and husband are allowed to be with her. I’ve no choice but to respect that," Shilpa added.

Shilpa had a series of racially-charged run-ins with Jade during 2007’s Celebrity Big Brother TV show in Britain. However, the two later became friends and Jade was diagnosed with cervical cancer when she appeared on the Indian version of the reality show that Shipla hosted in 2008.

"I really feel terrible about what has happened to her. All I can do is pray. I’m not giving up hope of seeing her one last time," said Shilpa.

"If I had my way I’d meet her but it’s not a choice left to me. I’ll have to see how she is doing and try to meet her. But if I can’t, I just pray that she isn’t in too much pain," the actress added.
