Shilpa Shetty's wedding photos

Shilpa Shetty's wedding photos - the Big Brother star married Raj Kundra on Nov 22 at Bawa Villa in Khandala, Mumbai. SHe was wearing a bridal outfit by Tarun Tahiliani and Jadau diamond jewellery. This blogpost also includes the post wedding photo session. They look very much in love.

Shilpa Shetty had turned down a deal from UK's Hello magazine for exclusive coverage of her wedding (including her sangeet and mehendi)

to Raj Kundra on November 22. The actress was offered approximately 75,000 pounds (over 50 lakh) in exchange for exclusive picture rights.

A source close to Shilpa says, "It's the first time than an Indian actress has been offered so much money for coverage of an event.

This is more than what Aishwarya Rai was offered for her wedding. Shilpa is a big celebrity in the UK

(thanks to her winning the reality show Big Brother) and Raj Kundra too is a well-known industrialist,

so they were keen to cover this wedding."

But Shilpa was very firm about refusing the magazine exclusive rights to her shaadi. She even avoided getting married in Raj's

opulent 10 million-pound mansion at Surrey in UK to stay away from the paparazzi. The source adds, "One of the

clauses in the contract offered by the international magazine was that no other photographers would be allowed

at the event. Also they didn't want any of the guests to carry their cell phones in case someone leaked the pictures to

other media. And Shilpa wasn't comfortable with both these conditions."

Also, she is not looking to make money on this wedding. It is a sacred and a

beautiful occasion for her, and she doesn't want any bad energy around."

Mallika Sherawat's Painful Divorce

The latest issue of 'Stardust' magazine, which hits the stands today, gives an insight into the actress' marital past, including an encounter with Mallika's ex mother-in-law, Mrs S S Gill.

Mallika was married to a pilot, Karan Singh Gill, when she was still Reema Lamba (her real name). The actress has never spoken about her whirlwind marriage and subsequent divorce. After achieving stardom, Karan and his family went into hiding, not wanting to do anything with Mallika anymore.

In an exclusive, 'Stardust' also tracks down Mallika's ex mother-in-law, Mrs G S Gill who makes no bones about her disapproval for her ex-bahu. When asked about Mallika, Gill says, "We don't know anybody named Mallika. A few years back, we had a girl in our family called Reema Lamba. She was my daughter-in-law and we all loved her very much. But, afterwards, her behaviour and independent nature started creating problems for us."

Mrs Gill explains that Mallika's soaring ambitions to make it big in Bollywood is what caused problems for the family. She says, "We wanted a girl who was independent in her thoughts but at the same time, someone who understood the needs of the family also. But her dream was something different from what we expected. She wanted to have a career in the glamour industry."

Reportedly, Karan has got married again but does not want to be associated with Mallika in any way.
