Shilpa Shetty may be having a great time with her time off from acting, and spending time holidaying in South Africa for the IPL. But the actress has something to worry about now.
Shilpas beau Raj Kundra has got himself a new Lamborghini, and is giving all his attention to the Italian hottie. Although Raj has been saying that the Lamborghini and Shilpa both are more important to him than his life, he has also gone on to say that the Lamborghini is his first priority. Even though the two have been having a great time going for long drives in South Africa, its time for Shilpa Shetty to pull up her socks.
Also, not only that, the two have their respective moms with them in South Africa. And the two moms are also bonding really well. So, does that mean, wedding bells are on the cards soon for Shilpa-Raj?
