New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Shilpa Shetty will soon fulfil her childhood dream of owning a spa and she has convinced yesteryears actress Rekha to launch her medispa Iosis here Sunday as she feels that the senior star is synonymous with timeless beauty.
“I had to think of who was going to do the grand launch and couldn’t come up with a better name than the diva herself - someone who is synonymous with timeless beauty and wellness. So I approached (the one and only) Rekhaji,” Shilpa posted on her blog shilpashettylive.com

“I’ve always looked up to her as an actor, role model for constant reinvention. We share a very special bond and have always been in touch with each other. I think it’s the South Indian connection. When I asked her to grace the occasion, she agreed and I was ecstatic,” she further added.

The 34-year-old will be opening her flagship store in partnership with entrepreneur Kiran Bawa, well-known in beauty and wellness industry. The first of these stores will open in Mumbai’s Khar area.

Explaining about the spa, Shilpa said: “Being part of an industry where beauty is a pre-requisite, I learnt from my own mistakes and this experience gave me the opportunity to reinvent myself. When people ask me how I did it, their questions will be answered through Iosis.”

“I hope that Iosis medispa works as a catalyst in bettering people’s lives at an affordable cost. Kiran and I share one common vision - Wellness India. We are both on the threshold of a new beginning and hope people enjoy the services that are provided here because they’ve been put together with a lot of love and thought,” she added.

The medispa will be a fusion of four - styling, spa, salon and skin treatments. Every treatment will be under the supervision of trained professionals.
