Mumbai, October 23: After romancing for the past two years, Bollywood’s long legged lass Shilpa Shetty and her NRI boyfriend Raj Kundra have finally decided to change their single status! The couple is getting engaged on October 24 in Mumbai.
News has it that it will be a low profile engagement ceremony taking place at Raj’s abode in Juhu and Shilpa will be seen wearing a Manish Malhotra outfit.
Talking to a news daily, a close source said that a famous Bandra store will be managing Shilpa’s jewellery. “Shilpa has always been our client. She will look very beautiful with my jewellery. Hopefully, we will be doing her wedding jewellery too,” says an official from the jewellery store.
By the way, it’s quite surprising that Shilpa is getting engaged while her younger sibling – Shamita is still living in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. Speaking on Shilpa’s engagement, a close friend said, “Yes, it`s happening very suddenly. Raj proposed to her two days ago when he gifted her a ring for Diwali. Raj is very keen that they formalise their relationship. Shilpa consulted her parents and accepted the proposal.”
The engagement will be attended by only by the Shetty and Kundra clan as “Invitations have been sent out, but only to a few select people. As far as the film industry goes, very few of her colleagues know about her sudden mangni. Shilpa is on top of the world.”
According to Shilpa’s friend, the marriage which is due in early 2010 will take place once “Shamita comes out of the ‘Bigg Boss’ house.”
Meanwhile, Manish Malhotra confirmed the news and described the saree he has designed for Shilpa, “It`s a pink chiffon saree with a very delicate border and a dull gold blouse, embellished with a very pretty piece of jewellery. She has such a vivacious personality that she doesn`t need anything to enhance it.”
