The last two days have been really manic, going through a whole lot of different feelings, of happiness, excitement, uncertainty, and harrowed with obviously the nitty gritties of IPL. As you all are aware— Happy since I’ve launched 3 medispas, my new baby IOSIS on the 3rd. It’s a dream that I’ve always wanted to come true. Somewhere at the bottom of my heart, I always wanted to have my own spa and salon. Making this a medispa was something that I had imagined but didn’t think would be able to achieve so soon. My long term vision and ultimate goal being “Wellness India”, I hope to bring about a certain awareness to the younger generation regarding health and fitness and hope I can do it through my medi-spas, with the help of my nutritionists, dieticians, be able to put people on the right path of how to lose weight and maintain it. I think when you are healthier from within, it’s bound to show and reflect on the outside. I’ve been someone who’s synonymous with glamour. If people saw my pictures in the past, they would know exactly how much reinvention can really work for a person and I hope to do that through my spas and salons. I really wish that people can learn from my mistakes and I can pass down my tips on health and beauty making a few changes in their lives. It is a LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION and that’s what I intend on doing through Iosis.
Uncertainty because of rescheduling and reshuffling of the IPL dates. There was talk three days ago that the IPL season II might not happen. That would have been terrible, not just for the franchise owners, but also for the cricket fans all over India and the world ’cause everyone’s looking forward to this season. I’m really glad that yesterday after several meetings; they’ve come to a consensus that the inaugural match is going to happen in Mumbai. It’s sad that we’re not going to be able to play in Jaipur, which happens to be our home ground, but would like our Rajasthan fans to know that it was a decision that wasn’t left to us to take. We are just complying with the decision obviously that has been taken by the IPL board, the BCCI and obviously with the advice of the home ministry and State Government. So I guess what cannot be cured has to be endured and we’re doing just that. I’m glad that the games are happening at last and it would still live up to people’s expectations and more. Cant wait for the IPL to kickstart.
Exciting ’cause I am in Jaipur at the moment shooting for my music video for Rajasthan Royals. It’s going to be an anthem that pople are going to love. It’s called “HALLA BOL” and it’s something that has been made with a lot of love. It’s sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Anand Raaj Anand. Music has been composed by Anand Raaj Anand again and it’s been directed by Ken Ghosh and choreographed by Ahmed Khan. I’m really happy that I had my friends come on board and do such a great job with this video. We did want to keep the essence of Rajasthan which is why we decided to shoot in Jaipur. There’s been a lot of things going through my head in the last 4-5 days, but in the midst of all this tension, my heart’s bursting with excitement and I really hope everything goes smoothly. It’s really sad whatever has happened in Pakistan and what the Sri Lankan cricketers had to go through. It was a sad day for cricket. Hope we are able to overcome all of that and things are smooth sailing and hope people don’t bring down the spirit of the game. Cricket is a game that brings together different countries and I hope we’re able to be good hosts here in India and give security to our cricketers and fans and that is of paramount importance.
Phew!!! So that’s what’s been happening in a nutshell. This was a long one, but I had to share all this with you, since I hadnt for a few days. Signing off will write sooner. Love Shilpa!

Dear Dr.Shilpa,

Kindly advise if you have received the same
Cheers and Happy Holi …

Dear Shilpa, Thanks for your latest post. We saw some of the videos of your new Spa openings. You were gorgeous and magnificent, as always. You look so pretty in the leopard-print dress! So sad about the present turmoil in the cricket world. What sort of loonies would open fire on a cricket team? Seems like “chaos” is the mantra running from top to bottom of society these days. Please take care with your personal security, and stay safe. We love you. This from your many fans in USA.

Dear Silpa,
This was International Women’s Day and I was expecting at least a line from you!!! How could you forget that…if we are on the forefront,for whatever achievements and if we get a due share in life today, definitely you owe it to the millions of women who have been fighting for equal rights of women for hundreds of years, in other parts of the world.It was so bad a weather yesterday in Britain, and I was amazed to see the energy of these women, old, elderly and of course young and teenagers who were on the streets for a cause. They have got so much, still they keep on fighting and remember the millions of Indian women who have no choice, but to carry on their struggles for survival, for existence even before their births, should n’t we feel concerned for them?
if you are a celebrity, and hundreds of your fans are crazy about following you, your life style, my request to you is to utilise this space and some time for spreading the message, on right dates, like this.
I love you and your work, you are much appreciated in Britain when you sent your message of solidarity wiith jade Goody by appealing people to extend their support to her, who is literally waiting for the last moment. Now come up. small things by you big people do matter a lot.
With lots of love,

Dear Shilpa,
I am a very international person currently living in England. I have a real passion for India, its culture, its people and one of my dreams is to go and live there at some point.
When I read this morning about the launch of your wellness centers in Mumbai, I was SO excited! You are living my dream.
Like you, I am a woman who has a passion about wellness and helping people to get fitter and better. A few years ago, I was a pioneer in trying to introduce the low-glycemic way of eating in England (where obesity and diabetes is endemic) and I had launched my business in Forest Mere health spa in Hampshire. Unfortunately my divorce got in the way of my project, and I had to give up “my baby”.
I know a lot about nutrition, yoga, exercise and holistic healing.
I also believe wholeheartidly in the spiritual development of each and every one of us. Being spiritual is the best thing you can do to your body and your mind.
Hence my passion for India as for me this country exudes spirituality.
I would love to be involved in some ways in your business.
I speak 3 languages fluently: English, Spanish and French (my mother-tongue language) and I am currently learning Hindi. I also understand Italian and Portuguese.
My email is: cparson@btopenworld.com
I can tell you so much about what I have learned and how I do inspire people, when it comes to wellness.
I hope you will be in touch.
Lots of love and God bless you in your project.

As a new person who has just logged in to see your input for the likes of us to read - I find the blog very interesting to read from the celebrity. I believe it is yourself who writes these comments and not another person whos has been assigned to do your behalf!!

I look forward for your health and fitness tips. I was over 230 pounds and lost 80 pounds keeping the weight off for over 4 years. I do maintain my weight by eating every 3 hours, being active and eating healthier.
All the best with your nutritional program.

well I absolutely agree with you shilpa .. well I have personally seen you and I must say you have made us feel proud every bit right from big brother to your fitness level , well currently i am in London and I am from the same school as you but St Anthony’s Girls high school i was in primary when you were in secondary high school . I am overweight and i keep feeling it every minute and keeps depressing me as well but as an individual i am positive person and hit the gym 5 days a week work out for 2 hrs and by grace of god managed to loose around 15 kilos but still have a long way to. I am glad that by creating awareness and loosing weight the right way and most importantly maintaining it will be a great help to all the girls who feel miserable because of their weight…
March 10th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Shilpa,
“Wellness India” is a good idea, sure it will bring bring awareness with the youth. Since you are a top celebrity you have the power to make people follow.

Hi Shilpa,
Happened to visit ur site accidentally. Recommended to my friend Andrew, who is a British/Swiss/Indian..well British by birth, lived in Europe..most of his life & likes everything Indian..Idli, Dosa, Appam & You
He is a great great great fan of yours since Big Brother,. He constantly reminds me to send some pics of you & wanted to contact you.
Will forward him copy of this mail..hope he does contact you thru your blog rather than blushing & hiding his face out of embarrassment.
By the way..read about passing of your pet..& can understand pain you all must be passing thru..
Yes..Our emotions with Pets are more real than that with another humans..because they just give unconditional love & don’t expect anything in return.
Take Care..
Wish you peace n happiness all the time..

Hi Shilpa
I m new to ur blog ite really excellent being here. I feel like m just interacting directly with u . By the by my name is Suraj udupa from ur home town Mangalore, itself
March 13th, 2009 at 12:15 am
Hi,
First of all I’d like to say that I am clearly amused to see some of the comments on the blog. I think many of them have nothing to do with the blog! I can almost see so many people trying to show-off. I am so and so and all the stuff.
Secondly, I must admit I am really touched by your style of writing. It is lucid and direct and unpretentious!
Thirdly, I am a big fan of Rajasthan Royals and despite the concerns I am sure that the league will happen, sense and love will prevail and we shall win!! I think in these tough times, Cricket and entertainment are the two ways in which tension can be defused between nations. I am glad you are associated with both!!
Fourthly, please keep writing! We all love it
March 13th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Hi Shilpa,
your presence was always a gorgeous on & off screen (Ofcourse seen in news paper or magazine). CONGRATULATIONS, for getting married.
Wish you a very happy, wonderful, successful life ahead.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Hi Shilpa, I’m not actually a fan since I have never heard of you. I live in America. I came across your picture while researching faces for characters in a screenplay I’m writing. Yours piqued my interest. I did a little research and came across this site. Have you been to America? Just curious. I know this may actually be just a fan site and you don’t answer questions. That’s ok. Just wanted you to know you have one american admirer that appreciates a strong work ethic. It’s all about the work.

hi shilpa
your eyes are so bueatiful pls plspls dont stop writing on your blog
March 16th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Shilpa - please remember your heritage!
Shilpa, you are from a good family! Why must you take time to visit the racist scumbag who hated you?
Yes, one must forgive, but you have no idea how biggoted and racist she really is.
Shilpa, please do not forgive her. She took the piss out of you and made the most racist comments about you.
Her husband is a convict and she is a proven racist.
Shilpa, please take care!
