Shilpa Shetty in burqa visits Ajmer dargah

Shilpa Shetty visits Ajmer Sharif in a burkha

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, the co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Rajasthan Royals, visited the Ajmer Sharif shrine wearing a burkha to escape public attention.

"Visited the famous dargah Ajmer Sharif. Yusuf (Pathan) very sweetly arranged everything even the burkha...thank god I wore it, " Shilpa posted on her Twitter account.

However, the burkha was not enough to hide the 34-year-old's identity.

"Thought we had fooled people but the word spread, it was manic but so glad we could visit. (I) have a lot of faith in Faith, " she added.

Shilpa-Raj Wedding Reception

Shilpa-Raj Wedding Reception

While Bachchan came in with his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai , Shah Rukh Khan was accompanied by his wife Gauri Khan. IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was probably the only cricket representative at the reception. Both Bachchan and Shah Rukh were mobbed inside and outside the venue. A witness said,
'It was almost a stampede inside the venue, all the guest just ran after Bachchan, poor Sanjay Khan got pushed to the corner.’’

The media’s favourite, Shah Rukh Khan, too faced the same problem. He almost hurt himself by a boom of a television channel. " He got a little irritated but spoke to the media. He in fact escorted a lot of his other friends out of the venue,’’ said a witness.

Sanjay Dutt’s wife, Manyata Dutt, walked in with her friend Amisha Patel (both in saris). The two of them hung out together. The two of them walked in at the same time Vivek Oberoi entered, while Amisha and Vivek exchanged pleasantries, Manyata just walked a little ahead probably wanting to avoid Vivek for reasons best known to her.

Mana slipped away when Vivek Oberoi approached them, he gave Amisha a nice hug. Kangana almost tripped on the stairs, she even said,`` You guys have a story for tomorrow about me tripping.’’

One expected Akshay Kumar to be at the reception, but the actor was not invited by Shilpa who probably didn’t want some uncomfortable moment on her wedding day. The actor who was returning from Ahmedabad after the promotion of his new film De Dana Dan went home straight. Salman Khan apparently kept himself absent and the rumour was that he was not well.

Shilpa’s other heroes Govinda and Suniel Shetty too made an appearance. Fardeen Khan, Karan Johar walked in with manish Malhotra (he designed her engagement saree), Ritiesh Deshmukh too was spotted. Madhavan was seen with his wife.

Meanwhile, the couple after a couple of hours of being on stage and cutting a huge multilayered cake stepped down and moved around the reception hall meeting almost all the guest present at the venue.
