Mumbai, Apr 26: Controversy is not far away from Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty.

She went through tough times recently at the British reality TV show Big Brother with one of the contestants spelling racist comments on her but she came out victorious at the end of the day.

Again, her kiss with Hollywood actor Richard Gere at an AIDS awareness programme stirred the whole country a few days ago. In spite of all these, she is not going down.

Now, she is all set to step into the shoes of Jane Fonda, who was known for her aerobic exercise videos.

Jane Fonda started fitness video called Jane Fonda's Workout in 1982 and then went on to do such 23 videos. Now, Shilpa's turn seems to have come. The good news is that a new film and music distributing company in UK and US has pinned down Shilpa to do video similar to that of Jane's workout regime. She is going to give tips and instructions on yoga to the viewers.

"There's a huge demand for yoga and Shilpa Shetty abroad. So, this production company hit on the idea of bringing them together. Shilpa, with her svelte figure, is seen as a health icon. She's an ideal candidate for propagating yoga in a fun and feisty form, " said a reliable source.

Shilpa has confirmed about the project but she is not in the mood to give the details. "Right now, I'm not supposed to talk about it. But yes, it is very much on. We're working really hard to make the whole project special.

This will be Shilpa's first international project after winning the Big Brother, British TV reality show. Well, it's good that she has managed to benefit from her newfound popularity.

Let's hope she goes higher from here!
