Shetty gets engaged

Former 'Big Brother' winner Shilpa Shetty will get engaged to her businessman boyfriend at a ceremony tomorrow, her publicist confirmed.

Shetty and London-based Raj Kundra will hold a small party to celebrate the event at her apartment in Mumbai.

The actress’s publicist said: “It will be a very private affair, where only immediate family members will be present. There won’t be a bash for sure.”

The wedding is due to be held in December, but no date has yet been set. Shetty, 34, had earlier revealed that she would like a traditional Indian ceremony.

“She has ordered jewellery for the wedding and has picked every piece with care. We are gearing up for her wedding in December,” her publicist told Indian newspaper DNA.

Reports indicate the ceremony will be held in Mumbai followed by a reception in London.

The couple, who bought a stake in cricket’s Indian Premier League team the Rajasthan Royals in February, have been dating for around two years.

Shetty’s actress sister Shamita, who is currently in the Indian version of the reality show Big Brother, will be unable to attend the engagement on Saturday.
