Shilpa Shetty dating millionaire

London: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has finally admitted her relationship with 32-year-old London born Indian millionaire Raj Kundra. For the first time, in an interview to the Daily Mail, Ms. Shetty has revealed that the new relationship brought a long period of loneliness to an end and transformed her life.

“I am dating somebody. I have known him for some time but I have only just started to know him better. I hope he will be the one but I don’t want to say too much because it is still very early on in our relationship,” she said.

Though she has not named her new love, the daily claimed that it’s none other than the London-born entrepreneur of Indian origin whose former wife had blamed Ms. Shetty for wrecking their marriage.

“I’m not going to deny that it’s him but please don’t say it is because I don’t want to frighten him off,” she said. “He respects and understands what I do and it is nice to be cared for. I have been very lonely for a very long time and it is nice to know I have somebody to look forward to seeing at the end of the day. At last I feel normal.”

“It has been an incredible year for me but I have also been very lonely. I have been away from home, in a foreign country and I haven’t had a boyfriend for a very long time. I need someone to woo me. Magazines are always saying I am beautiful and millions of men want to woo me, but none have come forward because they are all so scared.”

“It would take a really secure man to handle the media attention. I’m eulogised by a lot of men, but they wouldn’t take me home to meet their mothers,” she said. — PTI
