Shilpa Shetty experiencing "premarital jitters"

Mumbai: She may have tied the knot many times on-screen but Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty who is marrying NRI millionaire Raj Kundra later this month, is just as "nervous" about her big day as "any other bride". The actress who admits that she is experiencing "mixed feelings" as the day nears, said that she is sad about the absence of younger sister Shamita Shetty, who is participating in the reality show `Big Boss 3`.

"I`m going through a lot of mixed feelings, happiness, excitement, nervousness, just like any bride to be and sadness as well, I miss my sister and hoping that she`ll be out soon in my last few days at home," Shetty wrote on her blog. The 34-year-old actress who has been dating Kundra, since 2007, said that her confidence in her fiance is helping her get over the "premarital jitters". "Honestly it still hasn`t sunk in completely. The only consolation is that I`m tying the knot with Raj – a man who lets me be myself and doesn`t want me or my life to change and that erases premarital jitters," she said. Shetty who is currently shooting in Hyderabad for the last schedule of Indo-Chinese project `Desire` plans to set out for a one-month honeymoon after the wedding. "I will be shooting and dubbing till a week before the wedding. Got to finish all work commitments before I leave for a month after the wedding," wrote Shetty. The actress will have a quiet wedding ceremony with close friends and family on Nov 22 and a lavish reception two days later. Bureau Report
