Shilpa Shetty refuses offer of 50 lakhs


Her stint with Britain’s reality show celebrity ‘Big Brother’ has given Shilpa Shetty a celebrity status there. It is evident from the fact that a leading magazine from UK was interested in exclusive rights of her marriage with millionaire Raj Kundra.The Hello magazine from UK has offered a deal of 75000 Pound (approx Rs.50 Lakhs) for exclusive rights of her marriage coverage, but it is learnt that Shilpa has refused this offer. Sources claim that Shilpa was uncomfortable with the conditions laid down by the magazine. A source close to Shilpa says, “It’s the first time when 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 and Raj Kundra too is a well-known industrialist, so they were keen to cover this wedding.”She even avoided getting married in Raj’s opulent 10 million-pound mansion at Surrey in UK to stay away from the paparazzi.Source says that the clauses in the contract offered by the international magazine said that no other photographers would be allowed being 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.
