Jul 20: Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty is basking on her newfound popularity. She has become a household name following her triumph at the Celebrity Big Brother show. However, she is paying a big prize for all the name and fame. The pity is that she has been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late. Now, the news is spreading like wildfire that she has found love of her life.

The actress hit the headlines recently for kissing Hollywood actor Richard Gere at an AIDS awareness programme. Now, the grapevine is abuzz with the news that Shilpa is going to marry Raj Kundra, a 30-year-old South London NRI businessman.

Raj Kundra is said to be into diamond and jewellery business and was associated with UK Tradecorp, exporting electrical goods. He was seen going with the actress at the IIFA awards in Yorkshire some weeks ago. He is a married man with a child but it is said that their marriage is leaning towards the doom.

However, Shilpa's spokeperson and publicist Dale Bhagwagar has a different story to say. He said that there is no dearth of truth to the news. He added that the media has fulfilled its dream of getting her married by creating a false rumour.
