Bollywood stars might have snubbed Shilpa Shetty's recent birthday party in the UK on June 8th and Bipasha
Basu might feel that she would rather win international accolades for her films than for reality shows, but dusky
beauty Shilpa Shetty is unfazed by such things.
After all, from a sagging career in Bollywood, the
Southern belle is now geared up to set the western world ablaze, with the launch of a new perfume, a brand
new musical and even a new restaurant in London in the process giving her very little scope to do any more
Bollywood movies.
"I am so pressed for time right now, that I just cannot do any Hindi films. I have got a couple of offers, but once
I do a film, I'll put in my hundred per cent in it.
However I am so busy with the launch of my new
perfume in the UK and other things, that it will not be possible for me to devote any time to Bollywood as of
now," Shilpa was recently quoted as saying.
But that didn't deter Shilpa who features regularly in front pages of UK tabloids, from performing at the IIFA
awards in Yorkshire and promoting her new film 'Apne' which stars Sunny and Bobby Deol with their father
Dharmendra.
"Besides my perfume launch, I am here to finalise the details for my musical, which is called ‘Bollywood to
Broadway', and which will go on the road in November.
I am also starting my own restaurant here in
the UK in Central London, which will serve authentic Indian food. So I guess I have got a great deal on my plate
as of now," she said.
With her plate so full and the sky being the limit, Bollywood jealousy competition and glamour are trivial issues
for her now. Now that's behaving like a true blue international celeb!!
