Bollywood is always surrounded with too many cooks spreading rumors but this time it seems real & all Shetty fans want her to be happily ever after settled with ‘Prince’ a.k.a Raj Kundra.
"I have very traditional views of marriage. I've seen my parents maintain a 35-year marriage and I really believe marriages are made in heaven. I've always said that the day I decide to tie the knot it is going to be for good," Shilpa said. "I have often wondered who the right person would be and I've come to realize that for me it is Raj.

Preity Optimistic about IPL held in South Africa
Preity Zinta, who co-owns Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab, says the Twenty20 tournament moving to South Africa is like "asking an actor to perform in a theatre where nobody knows him", but the Bollywood star also hopes the shift helps in making the event bigger.
"The option was to either have it outside India or not at all. No one is happy to shift from home ground. That thrill of playing across our own country at domestic tournaments is gone. Going to various cities with the m
atches is a high," Preity told IANS in an interview. "But we've to be optimistic. Last year when the IPL started everyone thought it would flop. It became the biggest hit ever. Likewise, the shift to South Africa could make the IPL bigger," she said on a positive note.
