Her svelte figure and dangerously thin waist have made men and women drool...for years. Her latkes are legendary as well! As she turns a year older, we walk you through all the times she made news for things other than her sexy self. Take a look:
The breakup scandal:
She was rumoured to be serious about her then-boyfriend Akshay Kumar, who allegedly cheated on her with her supposed best buddy Twinkle Khanna. The dashing duo of Shetty and Kumar could never materialise in real life, leaving Shilpa with a broken heart. Even though the two have collaborated on a business venture and are generally cordial, their bitter past can never be forgotten.
The Big Brother controversy:
When Shilpa participated in the reality series Big Brother, she was in the news for standing up against racism. Her fellow contestants not just made fun of her accent and colour, but also her country. An enraged audience voted for Shilpa in hoards and she eventually won the series. That not only brought India to the forefront, but also gave us the Bigg Boss series...
Kiss-kiss sessions:
While on a trip to India, Hollywood actor Richard Gere got rather carried away when hugging Shilpa Shetty at an event. His 'over friendly' gesture of a hug and a kiss were protested by activists and Shilpa was in the news for all the wrong reasons. Even though it died down eventually, Shilpa had to bear the brunt of Gere's actions for a long time. Sigh.
Plastic surgery:
The actress has never openly talked about it, but it's rather well known that she had a nose job done to enhance her already gorgeous features. With her new nose, she looks beautiful. But we liked her old avatar as well. Isn't it, guys?
Marriage to Raj Kundra:
She was called a home-breaker when she got involved with UK-based businessman Raj Kundra, who was married at that time. But the two managed to douse all the fire surrounding their relationship and got hitched in a grand affair. They have a son together and couldn't be happier. Even with recent rumours of a split between the two, their love hasn't diminished. Way to go, guys!
Divorce rumours:
When reports started doing the rounds about her husband Raj Kundra spending more time in his office than at their house, her marriage was said to be crumbling. But those turned out to be mere rumours when Raj clarified it via a tweet that rubbished separation rumours.
Well, these are minor hurdles in her otherwise glorious life! We wish her a fabulous birthday and a great year ahead...
