Shilpa says no to wedding coverage

Shilpa Shetty got engaged to her long time boyfriend, a businessman from London yesterday.Shilpa wore a stunning Manish Malhotra saree and uncut diamond jewellery designed by anmol Jewelery.

Like many famous US and UK celebrities, Shilpa was offered a deal by UK’s Hello mag for the coverage of her wedding ceremonies for 75,000 pounds. But Shilpa has said no to the deal.

A friend of Shilpa says, “It’s the first time than an Indian actress has been offered so much money for coverage of an event. This is more than what Aishwarya Rai was offered for her wedding. Shilpa is a big celebrity in the UK (thanks to her winning the reality show Big Brother) and Raj Kundra too is a well-known industrialist, so they were keen to cover this wedding.”

The friend adds,”One of the clauses in the contract offered by the international magazine was that no other photographers would be allowed at the event. Also they didn’t want any of the guests to carry their cell phones in case someone leaked the pictures to other media. And Shilpa wasn’t comfortable with both these conditions.” At the Elizabeth Hurley wedding, guests were frisked and their cell phones were taken away by the representatives of the magazine, and Shilpa didn’t want her guests to face a similar situation. Also, she is not looking to make money on this wedding. It is a sacred and a beautiful occasion for her, and she doesn’t want any bad energy around.”

Very well done Shilpa.Shilpa is getting married to Raj Kundra on 22nd November.

    Why would you want such a private, sentimental occasion broadcasted for the world to see and judge? Good for her for saying no!
    Congrats Ms.Spinster…oops…uh..I’m mean.. Ms. Shilpa :D

    lol, They probably turned it down because they tought it was too little, not because they want privacy. You see, Shilpa thinks she is huge in the west, and is surely expecting like a million dollars for pictures, as Hollywood stars do. The money offered was “beneath” her worth. She wants more, they’ll wait till another offers more, then they’ll sell anything from the festivities to wedding night stories.

    HAVE ALWAYS LIKED SHILPA AS A PERSON (AS MUCH AS I KNOW THROUGH MEDIA)………………..IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOT TO BRING INCONVENIENCE TO GUESTS AND MAINLY ITS A CELEBRATED OCCASION NOT A BUSINESS VENTURE…………………..ITS SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY AND FUN AND NOT BULLYING BY THE MAG’S PEOPLE ASSERTING THEIR CLAUSE DURING THE MARRIAGE…………….THE COUPLE HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY NOT TO SELL THEIR MARRIAGE……….GOOD DECISION LADY !!!!!!!!!!!

    oh my, now she will have to look at raj’s ugly fat face for the rest of her life.

  12. 12 On November 20th, 2009, Suz said:

    She is totally faking it and milking her big brother fame. I mean really, she can’t even act and looks very plastic. She lloms the same in every damn picture. Same hair same makeup….. Everywhere she goes. And ofcourse she had to write her sister to pull her off her show. Shilpa couldn’t wait a bit longer. I mean she and her bf been dating forever…. Why was she in a hurry? Oooh pregnant mayb?

    Def. Shilpa is more human, natural, herself than the manipulating, lime light hogging, power hungry, tantrum throwing, calculative Aishwarya (I sincerely pity for Abhi. as to how he puts up with her, he is a simple guy) . Liked Shilpa even before her Big Brother win……………….always wondered as to why she wasn’t successful earlier………….now I know why, coz God had bigger and much better plans for her. Shilpa meets Queen Elizabeth, British PM, dines with Mr. Damon……………..she is high level……………..poor Ash just giggles hysterically at Cannes, guess that’s her ‘international’ achievement……..big deal…………and of course THE disastrous and embarrassing publicity of Pink Panther………….lol poor Ash.

    She would’ve accepted if people weren’t frisked. But 75,000 is chump change for her hubby to be. She probably wanted more. Hello Mag is a tabloid. They get sued a lot for false reports. This is a big event for her but not for decent Mags. I am pretty sure she has something else planned for the picture.

    That’s just eww, why would anyone want to reproduce with someone ugly as Raj Kundra. Poor Ms. Shetty. She’ll have ugly kids looking like Raj.

    there is no way she will be offered only 50 lakhs for big brother alone she was paid 3 crores so this is a false news even max clifford{her publicist} wont accept such little change…everything about this gossip is wrong

  21. 21 On November 21st, 2009, shilpa said:

    agreed ruby even she was paid 9 or 10 crores to host bigg boss last year so hello magazine knows better than to offer only 50 lakhs

  22. 22 On November 21st, 2009, bolly said:

    10 crore for bigg boss was for several appearances, 3 crore for big brother UK was for a whole month. 50 lakh for pictures is for just ONE occasion. why would they pay even one crore to someone unknown, who at the moment is more famous for controveries and marrying an ugly millionaire, then as an actrees? She’s no longer an actress. When was the last time she was in the news for her acting abilities? Face it Shilpa fans, she’s a full time business woman, not an entertainer anymore and by marrying that guy, she is flushing the little fame she has down the toilett. Married women are not wanted in films.

    Bitter? That’s actually funny. If I don’t like Something or doesn’t have the same opinion as someone else, it’s bitter? I have no idea what kind of personality she really have. Quite frankly I really don’t care. All the actors/actreses will do anything for publicity, except some. I just think with a acting history like hers, she have nothing quiet to offer. She gave been in cinema for years, but not even one great act to her name. Not blaming her at all, not everybody can be great actors. So she have to do what she can, her body n her looks, which is what anyone will do. The only thing she have to her name is big brother so, she is milking it! I mean I don’t even understand why her wedding us even a big deal to the media???? What is there to see? And I also do wish them a happy marriage!

    OK BOLLY LETS PUT IT THIS WAY ……………….SHE’S ONE SEXY, BEAUTIFUL, INTELLIGENT AND VERY FAMOUS ENTREPRENEUR AND EX-ACTRESS………………..WHATS THE DIFFERENCE, ONLY DUMB ACTRESSES DONT HV THE RT TO POPULARITY FOR THEIR TANTRUMS…………………..SHE HAS PROVED THAT SHE’S NOT JUST THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH KINDA LADY………………….SHE IS INTELLIGENT, HUMAN, NORMAL, GORGEOUS LADY UNLIKE THE SELF PROMOTIONAL, SELF PROCLAIMED, WANNABE HOLLYWOOD DIVAS IN BOLLYWOOD. I RESPECT SHILPA AS A PERSON.

    sweet bolly business women have more life than actresses……………so Shilpa chose the right line i guess………………she’ll last much longer, much richer, much more famous…………..lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. 26 On November 21st, 2009, shilpa said:

    bolly sorry 3 crore for big brother was for 2 weeks not one month and 10 crores for bigg boss is huge bearing in mind the fact that all she has to do is turn up on fridays so that is massive.u will be seeing her in a movie next year so that still makes her an actress.sticking to business is better than siiting around me think and so far so good for her.ugly or not she is happy abhi is ugly and ash undenialably one of the best looking women in the world married him so its not always about look u see.

    Business people may be richer, but they are not celebrated. When did you hear about people screaming after Bill Gates? Shilpa will be a married woman, so that means, her last film will flop, the audience want to see younger single girls who take their clothes off. That leaves Shilpa out. And again, business people are not celebrities, business will not be enough to keep Shilpa in the news. The difference between Abhi and Raj, is that Abhi is famous and a celebrity, some women find him hot because of that. Raj is just a business geek. Abhi can keep Aish name in the papers if she should ever retired. Raj will not be able to keep Shilpa in the news after her movie flops. Who wants to write about Raj? He’s no star, nothing to write about.

    Oh my, her hedious beau couldn’t even shave for his own wedding ceremonies. A big no no. Where did she find him, lying somewhere in the gutter drunk? This man has no sense of style or social behaviour. It’s your wedding you dumbass, make yourself look good and get rid of that crap on your face.
