Shilpa the covergirl

Shilpa Shetty's life is looking up and how. The siren has been making waves for the past year with her supremely successful stint on Big Brother, which catapulted her to international stardom.

A few million endorsements later, she is sizzling once again and this time it is for Marie Claire. The actress turned covergirl for the magazine and the photos have been shot by Atul Kasbekar.

After launching her own brand of perfume, Yoga DVD and a production house, she is all set to re-define her acting prowess, with a series of prestigious films in her kitty.

Shilpa has every reason to glow, with a successful career, a va-va vroom figure and not to mention her paramour Raj Kundra, who just can't seem to get enough of his ladylove.
