Shilpa to wed Raj Kundra on Nov 22

Mumbai: Actress Shilpa Shetty and her millionaire fiance Raj Kundra will get married in a private ceremony in Khandala near here on November 22. The wedding venue will be Shilpa's friend-cum-business partner Kiran Bawa's bungalow.

The sangeet and mehendi ceremonies prior to the wedding will also take place at the same venue, Shilpa's spokesperson said here Thursday.

The guest list will be restricted to family members and close friends of the couple. The marriage ceremonies will be a mix of Punjabi and South Indian rituals. The wedding will be followed by a reception here on November 24.

Designer Tarun Tahiliani is designing the 34-year-old bride's wedding costume. The actress got engaged to Kundra late last month at his Juhu residence.

Even though Kundra is an NRI settled in London, he has purchased a house in Juhu and the couple plan to live here after marriage.

Shilpa who made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Baazigar' in 1993 was last seen in a special appearance in 'Dostana'. She has recently turned producer and is working on her first film.

Shilpa got a career boost by winning the Channel 4 reality show 'Big Brother' as the racist row with fellow house mate, late Jade Goody, shot her in the limelight.

She met Kundra in London when she launched her perfume S2 after winning the show. The couple also own stakes in the Rajasthan Royals IPL team.
