Shilpa Shetty opens up her chain of medi-spas

After winning the title of ‘Big Brother’, Shilpa Shetty has stepped into many shoes, Television host, Yoga Guru, actress, producer, business woman, active fighting against AIDS and racism, to name a few. Now, she has decided to take up the task of making people beautiful. It is known to very few people that Shilpa is a trained beautician and that she always wanted to own a ‘beauty parlour’.

Shilpa Shetty has launched a chain of medi-spas all over Mumbai in partnership with spa owner, Kiran Bawa. IOSIS is not quite a beauty parlour, it is closer to a spa, Shilpa said at the inaugration.

A source close to the actress reveals, “Shilpa hasn’t had a party for a long time but on March 10, she will have a double celebration the Royal Rendezvous to celebrate her partnership with Rajasthan Royals as well as the opening of her new medi-spa at a five-star hotel in the suburbs. She has already asked people to block the date.”

While Abhishek stars in the Hindi version, southern star Prithviraj Sukumar plays the lead role in the Tamil version.

Besides Abhishek and Aishwarya, the film also stars Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Manisha Koirala, Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Tejaswini Kolhapure, and Ajay Gehi.

The actress has been shooting for this movie here since February 17 while her husband Abhishek Bachchan too has joined the sets recently. The shooting is expected to continue till mid-March. Ratnam has chosen Saheb Kothi, an old Zamindar Bari (mansion of landed gentry of yore) on the banks of River Hooghly at Agarpara, in North 24-Parganas District. He has kept the unit and the locale strictly out of media glare.
