Apart from wanting to visit her dying foe-turned-friend Jade Goody, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty's concealed reasons for a recent London visit are out. The starlet went to Britain to buy a house.

Shilpa has recently bought a home in Weybridge in Surrey, southeast of London, and is excited about getting married and having kids and bringing them up in the new house, the Daily Mail online reported.

"I believe in the institution of marriage...I'm dying to have kids, and when you see the Weybridge home, it's huge, it's a great family home, so I can't wait to bring up children there, " Shilpa said.

She is dating London-based Indian millionaire Raj Kundra.

Shilpa went to London March 15 but the Goody visit didn't materialise due to her family's objections. Goody died March 22 after losing her battle with cervical cancer.
