Shamita Shetty's birthday wish

January 30, 2007

Shamita and Shilpa

Shamita Shetty is on cloud nine ever since she heard about her sister Shilpa's triumph on Celebrity Big Brother at 3 am on Monday. "It has been a very tense time for all of us.

We're overjoyed. I had asked someone in London to inform me the minute the results were out. When the phone rang at 3 am my heart skipped a beat. Shilpa has gone through so much in there. Now she needs to be in London for the next three days.

And then, hopefully, she'll be back home. I want her here for my birthday on 2 February," says Shamita on the morning after Shilpa became the first Indian to win on Big Brother.

Bhoot hoon main

Shamita has spoken briefly to her sister post the win. "She has absolutely no time to speak. She was whisked away by the authorities the minute she was out of the house.

But Shilpa burst into sobs the minute the results were announced. It was so unexpected to her. My mom is with her. And even if she needs to return to London later Shilpa needs to come home now."

So what's Shamita's bithday wish this year? "I only want my sister home. Right after my birthday, I leave for Chennai to shoot for the Tamil version of Ram Gopal Varma's Darling with Madhavan."

Apparently, Maddy and Shamita get along like a house on fire. "He's so truly sweet and one of the main reasons why I'm doing a film in Tamil. I don't know a word of Tamil. But I've a Tamil tutor coming over every morning to coach me.

Although my lines would be dubbed later I need to get the lip-sync right. Right now, it all sounds like Greek to me."

Shamita plays a ghost in Darling. "Can you believe it? While my sister is an international celebrity I become a bhoot for a Tamil film."
