Mumbai, Nov. 25, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Shilpa Shetty was offered a staggering 36 lakhs by a magazine that wanted to buy the pictures of her lavish wedding and the reception that followed. However, she refused, stating that she does not want the most special day of her life to become public and get unnecessarily hyped by the media. Like it worked! The marriage took place at Khandala, the farmhouse of Kiran Bawa, the business partner of the bride on Nov.22. Invitees included, besides the groom Raj Kundra and her own family, big shots from tinsel town, including old flame and co-star Akshay Kumar.

Whether she wanted it or not, photos from her wedding and reception are splashed all over the internet. Touted to be one of the most extravagant weddings of recent times, even by Bollywood standards, the reported amount spent on the occasion was an estimated 5 crores. No doubt then that it was hounded by the paparazzi, who, despite the fact that they attend almost every big shot wedding, kept up an extra vigil for this.

Pictures of the Shilpa Shetty -Raj Kundra wedding and reception can be seen all over the internet, with YouTube putting up a video of the ceremony. Shilpa wore a red sari specially designed by designer and friend Tarun Tahiliani for the occasion. She looked absolutely resplendent, decked with jewels and other accessories. The pictures featuring the gorgeous Shilpa and her husband, along with the who’s who of national and international stardom are available in various websites on the internet.
