Heartbroken Shilpa looks for love
07/01/07
GORGEOUS Bollywood babe Shilpa Shetty is still trying to find love after being
cruelly dumped by an Indian lothario six years ago.
The star of film favourites such as Dhadkan and Janwaar was left distraught when actor Akshay Kumar cheated on her in 2000.
But after continually failing to find Mr Right, Shilpa, 31, has confided in pals that she's ready for a new man – and she could even find love in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
A CBB insider said: "Shilpa was devastated when she discovered Akshay was two-timing her with fellow actress Twinkle Khanna.
"Things were made even harder when Akshay later went on to marry Twinkle.
"Shilpa was so upset. She always thought that she could tame Akshay and turn him into the perfect husband.
"Since the split, it has taken her a long time to recover. But now she feels the time has finally come to put her demons behind her and you never know… love could even blossom in the Big Brother house.
"Akshay was a cheat and liar but Shilpa now realises it's time to give at least one lucky guy a chance."
Following the split, Shilpa said: "When you love someone and all along don't realise you are being taken for a ride, it can be very annoying. I never imagined that he could two-time me."
The beauty, who starred in a number of hit films with Akshay, has vowed never to work with him again – despite his reputation as one of the biggest stars in India.
And she's even warned other babes to steer clear of the ladies' man.
She said: "Someone has to let people know about him and warn all the other women to keep off him."
Ironically, five years after her break-up with Akshay, Shilpa was herself accused of being the other woman.
But the bolshy babe hit back at rumours claiming she was dating married film director Anubhav Sinha.
She said: "I was very offended when rumours about Anubhav and me came out but I kept mum because I didn't want to give them too much importance.
"It's as insane as saying I'm having an affair with Brad Pitt.
"I don't know when I am going to get married as I could get out of my make-up van right now and fall in love with someone outside."
