Going by the rather rampant Bollywood rumor-mills, one of the most-happening couples - film actress and international icon Shilpa Shetty and her multi-millionaire beau Raj Kundra - is expected to tie the knot early next year.

Finally the time has come, when both families have to met, and fix the marriage date.

We're talking about two love birds Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her beau Raj Kundra.

Nowadays, both Shetty and Kundra are busy with IPL matches in South Africa, but at the same time talks about their marriage are in process.

Shilpa's mother and Raj's mother, who were in Cape Town, discussed Raj-Shilpa grouping at length, and have also decided the marriage date.

There are rumors that the marriage ceremony would take place early 2010.

It is also surprising for the ace Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty to know that media has fixed her marriage date for October this year.

After reading the media reports, the bride-to-be came to know that her wedding with his good friend Raj Kundra was just a few months away.

However it’s true that the actress is marrying this year but not this October.

A source close to Shetty told that the news is totally wrong.

Shilpa Shetty along with the man of her dreams Raj Kundra threw a grand party to celebrate ‘Holi’ on Tuesday night at a suburban five-star hotel.

An elated Shilpa said, “I have enough reasons to celebrate.”

Miss Shetty said some of the reasons include their new found association with Rajasthan Royals, the team that won the inaugural IPL championship, and launching of her new spa chain.

Raj’s parents and brother and Shilpa’s parents and sister played hosts.

After celebrating Christmas in London, ace Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty has flown all the way to Spain to welcome the New Year with her family members and boyfriend Raj Kundra.

The leggy lass recently recuperated from her foot injury and headed to Spain for New Year’s bash.

Doctors have advised Shilpa to take complete rest for a few days until the injury is completely healed.

It is known that Shilpa was supposed to shoot for her first international project ‘Desire’, which got late due to her injury.

The long legged and flat tummied beauty Shilpa Shetty tasted the sweetness of success once she won Big Brother, and now this down to earth beauty feels that it's right time for her to get married to her NRI boyfriend, Raj Kundara. The actress said that all her age mates and colleagues have settled down, and now it’s her turn.

She explained, “I normally don't talk about my personal life, but his name is Raj Kundra. We met a year ago.”
