Shilpa
Shetty
has
turned
down
a
deal
from
UK's
Hello
magazine
for
exclusive
coverage
of
her
wedding
(including
her
sangeet
and
mehendi)
to
Raj
Kundra
on
November
22.
The
actress
was
offered
approximately
75,000
pounds
(over
50
lakh)
in
exchange
for
exclusive
picture
rights.
A
source
close
to
Shilpa
says,
"It's
the
first
time
than
an
Indian
actress
has
been
offered
so
much
money
for
coverage
of
an
event.
This
is
more
than
what
Aishwarya
Bachchan
was
offered
for
her
wedding.
Shilpa
is
a
big
celebrity
in
the
UK
(thanks
to
her
winning
the
reality
show
Big
Brother)
and
Raj
Kundra
too
is
a
well-known
industrialist,
so
they
were
keen
to
cover
this
wedding."
But
Shilpa
was
very
firm
about
refusing
the
magazine
exclusive
rights
to
her
shaadi.
She
even
avoided
getting
married
in
Raj's
opulent
10
million-pound
mansion
at
Surrey
in
UK
to
stay
away
from
the
paparazzi.
The
source
adds,
"One
of
the
clauses
in
the
contract
offered
by
the
international
magazine
was
that
no
other
photographers
would
be
allowed
at
the
event.
Also
they
didn't
want
any
of
the
guests
to
carry
their
cell
phones
in
case
someone
leaked
the
pictures
to
other
media.
And
Shilpa
wasn't
comfortable
with
both
these
conditions."
At
the
Elizabeth
Hurley
wedding,
guests
were
frisked
and
their
cell
phones
were
taken
away
by
the
representatives
of
the
magazine,
and
Shilpa
didn't
want
her
guests
to
face
a
similar
situation.
Also,
she
is
not
looking
to
make
money
on
this
wedding.
It
is
a
sacred
and
a
beautiful
occasion
for
her,
and
she
doesn't
want
any
bad
energy
around."
