After exchanging the engagement ring with her London-based businessman boyfriend Raj Kundra in Mumbai on Saturday, actress Shilpa Shetty has already begun plans for her wedding.
The 34-year-old beauty, who catapulted to international fame after winning the ‘Big Brother’ show in UK, is learnt to have roped in fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani to design her wedding trousseau.
Though Shilpa wore a dazzling sari by Manish Malhotra on her engagement day, she chose Tarun for her wedding because he’s popular for traditional, ethnic Indian wear, including lehengas and saris.
Just last year, Shilpa was the showstopper for Tarun’s fashion show at the HDIL India Couture Week where she wore a heavy lehenga choli that had intricate work on it.
Tarun admits he’s been asked by Shilpa to design her wedding dress, but he refuses to reveal what he plans to create for the actress.
“I can't talk about the details of the outfits but I can tell you that she will look absolutely stunning,” Tahiliani told a news agency on the sidelines of his show at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) on Saturday.
When asked if he would design Shilpa’s dresses for the mehendi and sangeeth ceremonies as well, Tarun gave a terse reply.
“I'll design everything!” he said without elaborating.
Rumours are abuzz that Shilpa and Raj might tie the knot either by the end of this year or early next year.
