Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have something other than Rajasthan Royals victories this IPL to cheer for. The couple, who tied the knot after a two year long courtship on 22 November 2009 are ready to welcome a new member in their family.
While this is a first for Shilpa, Raj Kundra already knows what its like to be a parent. The entrepreneur, who was formerly married to Kavita, is father to daughter Deleena, born on 9 September 2006.
Reportedly, Shilpa Shetty has wanted to be a parent for a very long time. In a media report, in 2009, she said, “I am desperate to start a family. I just love children and we have a beautiful ready made nursery in the new house. I want at least two children”.
There is enough space for us to live at one end while Raj’s parents live at the other and this was even before she got married!
Well, it looks like her dreams are materializing as the actress has been spotted at several clinic around the city. Our source confirmed, “Shilpa is expecting and the couple are extremely happy. Only the close family members and friends have been informed of the new arrival. They do not want to announce it publicly before the first trimester passes”.
Shilpa, who shot to fame in the UK after she won the celebrity show Big Brother, married Raj in November 2009. The couple went on to buy a share in the Rajasthan Royals team of the IPL and have devoted their attention to the game ever since, until now that is.
Despite repeated text messages and calls, both Shilpa and Raj Kundra remained unavailable for comment.
