Bride-to-be Shilpa going through ‘mixed feelings’
By IANSFriday, November 6, 2009
NEW DELHI - Shilpa Shetty, who is marrying London-based Raj Kundra Nov 22, is facing pre-nuptial blues. She admits she is experiencing mixed feelings as the D-day draws near.
“To all those who want to know how I am feeling, I just want to say Im going through a lot of mixed feelings - happiness, excitement, nervousness, just like any bride to be and sadness as well, Shilpa posted on her blog shilpashettylive.com/blog/.
The 34-year-old actress is tying the knot with businessman Raj Kundra, whom she has been dating since 2007.
“Honestly it still hasnt sunk in completely, its a strange emotion, cant describe it The only consolation is that Im tying the knot with Raj - a man who lets me be myself and doesnt want me or my life to change and that erases premarital jitters, she said.
“Obviously marriage is a huge step and with it come responsibilities, and since I believe in the institution, so I hope and pray that I can make ours a success.
Shilpa says she has been busy with the wedding preparations for the past two weeks but is also trying hard to fulfill her professional commitments so that she can set out for a one-month honeymoon with Raj after the wedding.
She is currently shooting in Hyderabad for the last schedule of Indo-Chinese project Desire.
“Im shooting in Hyderabad, everything had to be done before Id left for this schedule. In the midst of Odissi rehearsals (can you believe it! cause I am shooting for a song here), (I’m handling) guests list, hotel arrangements, wedding planners, trousseau outfits, the list is never ending.
“Theres a lot of work to be done and I will be shooting and dubbing till a week before the wedding. Got to finish all work commitments before I leave for a month after the wedding, she said.
The actress is now only hoping that her younger sister Shamita Shetty, who is a participant on reality show Bigg Boss 3, comes out to be with her in the “last few days at home.
Shilpa will have a quiet wedding ceremony with close friends and family Nov 22 and has plans for a lavish reception two days later.
