Although Raj has tried his best not to leak the surprise, he requested the stars not to mention it to anyone because the hubby wanted a big surprise for Shilpa.

However, celebrities needed to check the dates with their managers and this is where it leaked out and we have heard that Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna didn’t make to the list of the guests.

A source in the industry has told the newspaper: “Shilpa is expecting and the couple are extremely happy. Only close family members and friends have been informed of the new arrival. They do not want to announce it publicly before the first trimester passes.”

The Bollywood diva who is busy with her IPL team Rajasthan Royals in its fourth edition has garnered international headlines with a win in Celebrity Big Brother in 2007. Since then it has been a roller coaster ride for the ‘Shut up and Bounce’ girl.

Shilpa has earlier said in an interview that she is keen to start a family and this could be a real time for the couple.

“I’m desperate to start a family. I just love children, and we’ve a beautiful ready made nursery. I want at least two children,” she told earlier.

“There is already a child’s bedroom here because Raj has a nephew and I can certainly see my children running around this place, added the star.”

If everything goes well, we are going to hear this officially very soon.

First IPL (Indian Premier League) as her boyfriend gifted her a stake in last year Champions Rajasthan Royals wich kept her in the lenses for more than a month and now Vogue India honoured her with a cover page space.

Shilpa looks as sexy as she looked in ‘Shut up and bounce’ number of Dostana, lets hope the curveceous beauty win some roles in Bollywood after Royals lost and unable to make into the semi-finals this year.
