On Shilpa's star trail

She got a new sports car, wore a burqa, and had dinner with royalty

Shilpa Shetty has had an interesting couple of days. First, hubby Raj Kundra presented her with a cool sports car. It's blue (their IPL team Rajasthan Royals' team colour), and it's a Lamborghini! It seems Shilpa isn't too fond of cars, but Raj is, and wanted wifey to have a luxury car!

Next, Shilpa went to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan wearing a burqa. The trip was arranged by Yusuf Pathan, a member of her Rajasthan Royals team. And he provided the burka as well, so Shilpa could visit the famous dargah in relative anonymity, and not be mobbed while she was there.

Shilpa tweeted about going to the dargah, ""Visited the famous dargah Ajmer Sharif. Yusuf (Pathan) very sweetly arranged everything even the burkha...thank god I wore it."

But Shilpa was still recognised. She added later, "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."

What was next on the cards for the star? Well, she and her IPL team will be attending a dinner hosted by Padmini Devi of the erstwhile Jaipur royal family.

"Enroute to Jaipur to attend a Rajasthan Royals team dinner hosted by the royal family her highness Maharani Padmini Devi, who I completely adore because she is so full of positive energy and showers me with so much love," Shilpa wrote on her blog.

Now we hear that Shilpa might be campaigning for British MP Keith Vaz in his election bid. She has known him from the time she won 'Celebrity Big Brother' in the UK in 2007.

Seems like all in a couple of days work, right Shilpa?
