Shilpa’s New Best Friend

The reclusive Madame Re has found a buddy in the friendly and sociable Shilpa Shetty. The Bollywood Diva inaugurated her spa at Khar, suburban Mumbai.

Shilpa’s beau Raj was not present at the event. Yet Shilpa was more than happy with Rekha keeping her company.

The two gorgeous ladies of Bollywood have been bonding big time. The reason behind it is that they both were considered ugly ducklings before they transformed into beautiful, graceful swans. Rekha is still considered a diva. Shilpa, with her Yoga, international fame, sexy figure, stylish clothes and business ventures is one of Bollywood’s busiest divas. What’s more, both are South Indians.

Shilpa said that she considers Rekha the perfect Bollywood diva and is fascinated by the mystique and enigma surrounding her.

Rekha, who usually stays away from events, is now a regular guest at spa openings, exhibitions and award functions. She usually sticks to Farzana but with Shilpa now, she has a new friend in her life.Or so we think!

Rekha thinks that Shilpa is living her dreams. After the spa opening, she sent Shilpa a letter saying that she was very proud of her because she (Shilpa) was doing everything she wanted to do, like promote Yoga and start a spa. Shilpa was touched by the letter from her new found close friend.Couldn't Re Madam have just told her that at the event?

Dahlings, she would have wanted Shetty girl to preserve her letter as a memorablia! Class we say.

It won’t be long before we see them going abroad for shopping sprees abroad and soaking in spas together. Who said Bollywood actresses can’t be friends? They absolutely can if they belong to different generations and are not competing for the same roles, especially since they have none to talk about at the moment, and just perhaps take a long break abroad.

Rekha to launch Shilpa Shetty's spa

It will open in Mumbai on July 26

Shilpa Shetty will soon fulfil her childhood dream of owning a spa and she has convinced yesteryears actress Rekha to launch her medispa Iosis in Mumbai on Sunday (July 26) as she feels that the senior star is synonymous with timeless beauty.

"I had to think of who was going to do the grand launch and couldn't come up with a better name than the diva herself - someone who is synonymous with timeless beauty and wellness. So I approached (the one and only) Rekhaji," Shilpa posted on her blog.

"I've always looked up to her as an actor, role model for constant reinvention. We share a very special bond and have always been in touch with each other. I think it's the South Indian connection. When I asked her to grace the occasion, she agreed and I was ecstatic," she further added.

The 34-year-old will be opening her flagship store in partnership with entrepreneur Kiran Bawa, well-known in beauty and wellness industry. The first of these stores will open in Mumbai's Khar area.

Explaining about the spa, Shilpa said: "Being part of an industry where beauty is a pre-requisite, I learnt from my own mistakes and this experience gave me the opportunity to reinvent myself. When people ask me how I did it, their questions will be answered through Iosis."

"I hope that Iosis medispa works as a catalyst in bettering people's lives at an affordable cost. Kiran and I share one common vision - Wellness India. We are both on the threshold of a new beginning and hope people enjoy the services that are provided here because they've been put together with a lot of love and thought," she added.

The medispa will be a fusion of four - styling, spa, salon and skin treatments. Every treatment will be under the supervision of trained professionals.
