Shilpa Shetty, the international fame actress, has joined Bachchan’s “Unforgettable” world tour. The tour is all set to begins from 18 July from Canada Tronoto. We have an exclusive eye candid interview with Shilpa Shetty in which she give details about Bachchan tour and also talks about her Big Brother international fame.

So how different is to be reheashing your steps you perform on the tour from what you perform while shooting a song for the movie? Shilpa starts with saying, “We normally try to keep it a liitle similar. But when we perform on stage most of the numbers are remixed. So that they become slightly more fast paced.I may not be necessarily performing on my numbers. It may be a punjabi number which is very popular in the United Kingdom (UK). So there is a mix of everything. Of course, we only get one chance to give it our best on the stage whereas we can go on and on till we do not get our steps right if we are filming a song for the movie. So there is not really a big difference”.

We have seen you shake a leg with Amitabh Bachchan many years ago in a forgetfull movie titiled “Lal Badshah”. Having said that, what’s so really special about a 65 year old man dancing with a woman half his age? The glam girl laughs,”I think when it comes to Amiji, no body even considers his age. He is so charismatic and he has such power over his audience that they do not care for his rising age. I definitely for one do not. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He is a stalwart in Hindi cinema and just to get this opportunity to share the stage space with him is such a huge honour for any actor. We actors are meant to entertain the audience, so no one thinks of age as aprimary concern and in other words age does not mater in acting career”.

Here’s an entertaining question for you. The word ”Figure” is synonymous with you Shilpa. I mean, you are the fittest actress around in the Indian film industry. How on earth do you maintain your body and have you figured out of the sort of reception you will be getting at the 02 Arena? Shilpa again laughs out loud and answer, “I love your question(laughs again). It is very well worded I must say. Thankyou very much for the compliment. Well, I do work out and I will be lying if I say that I do not work out. But I also eat a lot, contrary to what the people think and imagine. I do weight training and Yoga on regular basis and that’s what keeps me fit. And to answer your second part of question which was pun intended, I do not know what kind of reaction I am going to get the O2 Arena. I am quite looking forward to it. I think it is going to be very good”.

As London is the last city where the “Unforgettable” Tour wraps up, I am sure you will be a bit more relaxed in this historical city. Any busy plans after the Tour? She said with laughs only one simple word, “Shopping” and start laughing again.

And where about? She tells, “I shop anywhere in London. I just love London because it is a great destination to shop. Anywhere from Oxford Street to Carnaby Street, I really enjoy it a lot”.

The only two celebrities you have worked with from the Tour are the two Bachchans, Amitabh and Abhishek. What was it like working for the first time with Preity Zinta, Ritesh Deshmukh and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan? Stunning actress says with a lot of excitement, ”All the names you have mentioned come from the same fraternity. So we know each other pretty well. It is not like we are alien to each other. We know each other and I have interacted with all of them in the past. So it is just going to be great fun to be performing with them on the stage for the first time. It goes beyond becoming a job because this is one of those shows which is like a picnic for all of us celebrities. I am sure we are going to have a blast”.

We all known that when it comes to choreaography, Shiamak Davar is the King. Any unforgettable moments you can recall from your rehearsals so far? Silpa replies, “Well, I have not started rehearshing yest. Please do not tell anybody (laughs) because I am busy in shooting fro Sunny Deol home production titled ‘The Man’. I am going to start rehearsals in a couple of days. In fact, I am going off to Goa and have told them to send me an assistant who can teach me the steps”.

Can you brief us who has designed your outfits for the “Unforgettable” Tour? She tells, “Manish Malhotra is designing my costumes for the tour. I am really excited. He is a fabulous designer. We are in the process of designing them because there is a certain look that we have to amintain. It is an amalgam of both our thoughts and ideas. Manish is someone whose sensibilities. I trust as well. If he thinks that a certain colour will look better on me and if I am not convinced with it then I still will trust him. In short, it is a good working relationship among us”.

Is it true in saying that just becasue you won the Celebrity Big Brother, you are more attached towards the U.K? Shilpa says with comfort, “I definitely got more attached to U.K after the Celebrity Big Brother. It is not wrong when people say that. I have travelled to different parts of the World but the warmth I receive in the U.K is just something else. I can not put it in words. Like I said before, I am who I am in the U.K because of the people and it’s them who wanted me to win the show. I compleletly appriciate that. There are very few actors who go ot different countries and are recognised there as well. I am blessed from that front. It is not only the Indians who recognise me in the United KIngdom. It is the natives and the main stream people as well”.

Besides being a bit busy with the tour, what else is keeping you busy in your life in a Metro? The international fame actress says, “As I said that I am filming for ’The Man’ right now and have just finished shooting a song for Karan Johar’s forthcoming flick ’Dostana’ and after that I start my home production in November under S2 Global Productions. I am busy with that as well. WE are currently in the process of scripting. Once I announce the movie, maybe you guys will get to know what tha movie is called. We have not yet zeroed on the name of the movie”.

We can not let you go like this Shilpa. I mean you have to let us know the numbers you are going to perform on the Tour? Elegant actress do not reveals more things about tour, “I can only tell you that I am going to perform on this rocking Punjabi number. I am not allowed to divulge more details to media”.

Do not you think Wizcraft should organise more of such World tours and concerts every year or two just like what they do when it comes to IIFA Awards? Shilpa dod not agreed by saying, “I think that Wizcraft is pretty sorted on theat front. They are so used to doing shows in India and world wide that if they can take a contingent of hundreds of celebrities every year to a different destination and put up with all their tantrums (laughs), then I am sure this Unforgettable tour is like a cakewalk for them”.

I do not know whether you are aware of this or not. Big Brother 2008 has just started couple of weeks ago. Would you like to give one last message for all the contestants who are in the house waiting to be celebrities when they come out? Shilpa reply with a humble smile, “I had a great time being in there. yes, there were some tears yet a lot of happiness too and I wish them all the best of luck. I am really not watching the series, so have no idea what is happening inside the house”.

Any parting message for all your fans who are desperate to see you perform live at the O2 Arena in London? She says with a billions rupees smile, “I just want to say that I am really looking forward to come to the U.K with the ’Unforggetable’ Tour. I am sure for one thing, It will be really unfogettable for the audience”.
