I'm not getting married this year: Shilpa Shetty

New Delhi, Aug 28 Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is upset over news that she is set to tie the knot with London-based businessman Raj Kundra by the year end. She clarifies that she isn't getting married this year.

'I've said before, I will make an official announcement the day my parents decide on my marriage date and I promise the press will have at least a month to celebrate the announcement. So to set the record straight, no I'm not getting married this year. Yes, I am looking at next year, but date not decided,' Shilpa posted on her blog www.shilpashettylive.com/blog/.

A British newspaper reported Thursday that the actress would be getting married between September and December in Britain after her father, Surendra Shetty, wrote so in an application to an Indian court.

But Shilpa has slammed the news. 'I am sick and tired of people calling me to clarify after they've put it as breaking news on some channels and wasted reams of paper on concocted news articles,' she said.

Shilpa is also upset over the leakage of the details her father gave to the court to acquire his passport.

'My poor dad is already having a tough time every time he has to travel abroad and has to apply for his passport, and as alway it's harrowing enough for him to go back and forth every time for his passport...,' she said.

Surendra Shetty's passport was reportedly confiscated after he was charged with threatening a business associate he claimed owed money to his daughter. Since then, he and his wife Sunanda have only been able to travel overseas with the court's permission, which is why he applied for the passport on the alleged pretext of Shilpa's wedding.

'My dad's 67 and ageing, please let the poor man live in peace and dignity, it's annoying. I request the press to report responsibly and not make any baseless assumptions,' stated Shipa.

Marriage? I’m already settled: Dia

She looks resplendent in green, blending in as if in perfect harmony with the lush lawns of the poolside at this city five-star hotel.

And even as she flashes those pearly whites, the sultry afternoon weather doesn’t seem so sapping any more. Professional to the core, she opts for the photocall even as the make-up is still fresh on her face before settling down for a tête-à-tête in the cool confines of the restaurant.

That for you ladies and gentlemen is Dia Mirza, who touched down in the city to scorch the ramp as showstopper for a fashion event.
Even as she sips her tea, Dia, rattles off saying that she has been to the city so many times that she has lost count. Proud of her Bengali connect through her mom and mamima, the actor says, “Whenever my mom and I want to have a secret conversation, we do so in Bengali only to find out each time that there is a Bengali present near us.”

Keen to put her Bengali connect to good use, Dia speaks out, “I’ve always very candidly confessed that I’d love to do an aesthetic Bengali venture. However, the closest, I’ve come to working with directors from Bengal are Pradeep Sarkar and Shoojit Sircar.” Are directors listening?
