Shilpa’s colourless pre-Holi bash for Rajasthan Royals

There will be much fanfare and fun, even before Holi colours add to it. Shilpa Shetty has decided to celebrate her association with IPL cricket team Rajasthan Royals on the eve of Holi.

A source reveals, "Shilpa is very excited about her partnership with the Royals. She's leaving no stone unturned to boost the morale of her team and is making sure they're treated well before the matches begin. The party will be co-hosted by Raj Kundra and Shilpa. However, since it's not happening on the actual festival day, there won't be any colour involved."

Shilpa confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, I am having a pre-Holi bash on March 10 at the Grand Hyatt. Though we won't be playing with colours on stage there will lots of bhang. We intend having good fun! I am launching so many great things this year - the medi spa being part of the IPL."

Explaining the reason for her joy, she elaborated, "I just felt it was a great time to celebrate. I normally don't celebrate Holi much. The only time I remember a Holi party was when I went to Abhishek's party and was dunked into a colourful pool. It was horrible! I won't ever forget that experience!"

All along, the recent attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team has saddened the beauty. "It's very sad what happened in Pakistan. The security conditions in IPL last year were good and all the teams were treated with utmost care. Maybe because of the security issue, the IPL has asked Pakistani players not to play this time," she said.

Talking about the security of Rajasthan Royals back home, she said, "I am not worried about the IPL here as I am sure they will take ample precautions this time too, if not more."

Shilpa’s attitude has both the shades – putting it all in perfect balance.
