Shilpa Shetty is planning to get saucier than ever and launch her own range of ready-made food, a report has claimed. She is also considering starting a chain of restaurants in honour of her Big Brother co-participant Jade Goody, who died in March. And the ready made food she plans to begin her new business with is poppadoms. One must remember that Jade Goody called her “Shilpa Poppa-dom” on Big Brother, which then sparked the whole racial row. “Shilpa thinks Jade will have a little chuckle in heaven about the poppadoms,” the Daily Star quoted a source as saying. Shilpa’s chicken curry, which divided the house with accusations of under-cooked meat and excessive use of onions, is also expected to be included in the menu. “She has been inundated with requests for her curry recipe and one day she just thought: ‘Why don’t I just create my own range? One of Shilpa’s passions in life is healthy living so she wanted to incorporate that into her dishes,” the source added.
While career expansion is something everyone is entitled to, one does think that Shilpa’s failure as an actress in Bollywood is pushing her to looking at parallel careers elsewhere. And she is breaking all records for diversity. In the last two years, she has launched perfumes, recorded yoga/exercise DVDs and she has worked on a spa project amongst several TV projects. In February this year Shilpa and her partner Raj Kundra became owners of the India Premiere League franchise cricket team Rajasthan Royals. And now she wants to step into the healthy food business by opening a chain of curry houses. Only Shilpa can explain how any curry can be considered healthy but we’d love to see her trying.
