Shamita unlikely to attend Shilpa’s wedding

There’s chance that Shamita may not be able to attend her sister’s wedding. According to highly-placed sources at Colors, there seems to be no provision to get a contestant out of a game show for a wedding. Hard as it may be to believe, Shilpa Shetty’s kid-sister now locked away in Bigg Boss 3, is oblivious of the momentous developments in her star-sister’s life.Says a highly-placed Colors source, “Shamita has not been told anything about Shilpa’s engagement or the marriage in the last week of November. As far as Shamita knows the marriage was supposed to happen in December after the show was over.”Now that Shilpa has approached the channel to evict her sister in time for the wedding- and a meeting between the two parties is on the cards this weekend – the channel bosses are at a loss as to how the rules can be bent to get Shamita out of the Bigg Boss house.

Says the source, “There’s a provision for a house-mate to be brought out in case of an extreme emergency. It happened with Jade Goody last year. But does a sister’s unscheduled wedding qualify as a family crisis? We’re now wondering if the same rule as Jade can be applied to Shamita’s case.”The international Big Brother rules are being consulted. If there’s no provision for a contestant to leave the game for a family wedding, then Shamita Shetty may not get the permission to leave Bigg Boss house for the wedding!This however seems improbable, considering Shilpa’s old relations with the reality show. (She was contestant on Bigg Brother and hosted Bigg Boss 2).Says the source from Colors, “After meeting Shilpa this weekend we’ll work out a strategy on Shamita’s eviction.” According to plans if rules apply, Shamita’s eviction will be done live.

“If an unexpected turn of events helps us boost our TRPs we’re certainly not shy of putting it on camera. We did with Jade Goody. We’ll do it with Shamita.”The pop philosopher of the show Amitabh Bachchan is expected to do the needful. He will be breaking the news of Shilpa’s engagement and impending marriage to Shamita.“The rest is up to Shamita. Once we’re sure she can be evicted whether she decides to come out or stay in the House is entirely her decision,” ends the channel source.

Why Shilpa got engaged in the year's 10th month

No. 10 plays an important role in superstitious actress's life. Bollywood's age-old obsession with superstition may be behind Shilpa Shetty's sudden engagement to beau Raj Kundra.

The actress surprised everyone by getting engaged to the London-based NRI tycoon on Saturday, at a time when her sister Shamita is still inside the Bigg Boss house.

While conspiracy theories were quick to do the rounds over brewing rivalry between the Shetty sisters as the reason for Shilpa's move, the actress has been quick to quash such rumours.

It seems the number 10 plays an important part in Shilpa's life and so, she decided to get engaged in October, the tenth month of the year.

Look closely and you will spot the importance of 10 in Shilpa's life. She recently purchased a new apartment in Mumbai.

A building named Fortune 10. Two cars belonging to Kundra and her are also numbered 10 and 1010. She insisted on hosting a grand Indian Premier League party on March 10 this year.

In the capacity of being the co-owner of the Rajasthan Royals team. And, when she launched the new IPL T-shirts for the team, she held up a number 10 shirt at the press conference.

Shilpa did not get engaged before Bigg Boss started (on October 4) as the first four days of the month were considered inauspicious. With no chance of Shamita emerging out of the Bigg Boss house before October ends, the buzz is that Shilpa will not get married anytime this year but will wait till 2010.

Bollywood celebrities are well known for their fetish for numbers. Recently, Ajay Devgan changed his surname to Devgn for astrological reasons. Producers such as Rakesh Roshan, Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor are known for their obsessions with the letter 'K'.

All of Roshan's films, and most of Johar's films and Ekta's soaps, begin with a 'K'. Among other stars who altered their spellings for luck are Kareena Kapoor, who around the time Asoka released, had changed her name to Karriena.

She, however, reverted to the original spelling soon after. Viveik Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor are other recent examples. Obviously, in Shilpa's life it's all a play of dus ka dum, albeit in a peculiar way. It's a different thing that in almost 16 years of her career in Bollywood, she hasn't exactly had 10 straight hits to flaunt. Advertisement
