Royal Shilpa taken over by IPL mania

Shilpa Shetty and her London based beau Raj Kundra have bought 11.7% stake in IPL’s first champions Rajasthan Royals, who achieved a spectacular win last year under the leadership of Shane Warne, inspite being written off at the start of the tournament.

And apparently it’s Raj’s valentine gift for Shilpa, she says, “It is a very expensive gift. I trusted Raj’s accumen and am really proud to be the co-owner of Rajasthan Royals.”

Ask her the reason for choosing Rajasthan Royals, and pat comes a reply, “They were considered the underdogs just like I was. That’s also why I backed them from the word go.”

Quiz her about Preity Zinta’s Kings XI’s team who lost to Shilpa’s Rajasthan Royal’s last season, and she says, “There is no competition between the owners. Preity has a great team as well.”

Folks, gear up for exciting action on-field and off-field, as this leggy lass is surely going to be the eye-candy of all the spectators.
