"Natives of U.K. also recognize me" - Shilpa Shetty
Looks
like
Big
Brother
has
blessed
you
again.
I
mean,
we
will
now
be
seeing
you
live
at
the
O2
Arena
on
August
24.
What's
going
through
your
mind
right
now?
(Laughs)
Well,
a
whole
lot
of
excitement
and
the
opportunity
to
actually
get
to
connect
with
the
audiences
in
the
U.K
who've
given
me
so
much
love.
It's
now
my
time
to
reciprocate
that
love
back
and
show
them
that
this
is
what
I
actually
do
for
a
living.
You're
a
guest
performer
in
the
London
leg
of
the
tour.
Don't
you
feel
left
out
on
not
being
able
to
be
with
The
Unforgettable
Tour
in
Toronto,
Los
Angeles,
Houston,
Chicago
and
New
York?
Not
really
because
I
have
so
much
work
on
hand
at
the
present
moment.
Yes,
Wizcraft
did
ask
me
to
be
a
part
of
the
rest
of
the
tour
as
well
but
I
couldn't
make
that
time.
I
am
committed
to
finishing
The
Man
which
is
my
next
release
with
Sunny
Deol
who
is
producing
and
directing
it.
So
I
decided
that
I
could
take
out
those
couple
of
days
and
fit
in
the
O2
Arena.
You
all
seem
to
be
wearing
the
colour
red
to
promote
this
tour
which
symbolises
power.
But
what
power
are
we
going
to
see
from
you
in
your
performances?
Dancing
I
think
has
always
been
my
USP
and
whether
people
watch
my
films
or
not,
I
don't
know.
But
they
definitely
watch
my
dancing
(laughs).
This
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
performance
to
watch
out
for
because
Shiamak
Davar
and
I
are
getting
back
together
again.
Whenever
he
choreographs
something
for
me,
he
always
makes
it
really
special.
The
last
time
he
did
something
for
me
was
at
the
IIFA
Yorkshire
in
the
U.K
last
year.
The
IIFA
performance
was
pretty
unforgettable
so
this
one
will
be
a
few
notches
higher.
So
how
different
is
to
be
rehearsing
your
steps
you
perform
on
the
tour
from
what
you
perform
while
shooting
a
song
for
the
film?
We
normally
try
to
keep
it
a
little
similar.
But
when
we
perform
on
stage
most
of
the
numbers
are
re-mixed.
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
U.K.
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
film.
So
there
isn't
really
a
big
difference.
We've
seen
you
shake
a
leg
with
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan
many
years
ago
in
a
forgetful
film
titled
Lal
Badshah.
Having
said
that,
what's
so
really
special
about
a
65
year
old
man
dancing
with
a
woman
half
his
age?
(Laughs)
I
think
when
it
comes
to
Amitji,
nobody
even
considers
his
age.
He
is
so
charismatic
and
he
has
such
power
over
his
audience
that
they
don't
care
for
his
age.
I
definitely
for
one
don't.
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.
We
actors
are
meant
to
entertain
the
audience,
so
no
one
thinks
of
age
as
a
primary
concern.
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
the
sort
of
reception
you
will
be
getting
at
the
O2
Arena?
(Laughs
out
loud)
I
love
your
question
(laughs
again).
It
is
very
well
worded
I
must
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
compliment.
Well,
I
do
work
out
and
I'll
be
lying
if
I
say
that
I
don't
work
out.
But
I
also
eat
a
lot,
contrary
to
what
the
people
think
and
imagine.
I
do
weight
training
and
Yoga
on
a
regular
basis
and
that's
what
keeps
me
fit.
And
to
answer
your
second
question
which
was
pun
intended,
I
don't
know
what
kind
of
reaction
I'm
going
to
get
at
the
O2
Arena.
I'm
quite
looking
forward
to
it.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
good.
As
London
is
the
last
city
where
the
Unforgettable
Tour
wraps
up,
I'm
sure
you'll
be
a
bit
more
relaxed
in
this
historical
city.
Any
busy
plans
after
the
Tour?
Shopping
(laughs).
And
where
about?
I
shop
anywhere
in
London.
I
just
love
London
because
it's
a
great
destination
to
shop.
Anywhere
from
Oxford
Street
to
Carnaby
Street,
I
really
enjoy
it.
The
only
two
celebrities
you've
worked
with
from
the
Tour
are
the
two
Bachchans
-
Abhishek
and
Amitabh.
What
was
it
like
working
with
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Preity
Zinta
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
for
the
first
time?
All
the
names
you've
mentioned
come
from
the
same
fraternity.
So
we
know
each
other
pretty
well.
It's
not
like
we
are
alien
to
each
other.
We
know
each
other
and
I've
interacted
with
all
of
them
in
the
past.
So
it's
just
going
to
be
great
fun
to
be
performing
with
them
for
the
first
time
on
stage.
It
goes
beyond
becoming
a
job
because
this
is
one
of
those
shows
which
is
like
a
picnic
for
all
of
us
actors.
I'm
sure
we
are
going
to
have
a
blast.
We
all
know
that
when
it
comes
to
choreography,
Shiamak
Davar
is
the
king.
Any
unforgettable
moments
you
can
recall
from
your
rehearsals
so
far?
Well,
I
haven't
started
rehearsing.
Please
don't
tell
anybody
(laughs)
because
I
am
shooting
for
Sunny
Deols
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.
Is
it
true
in
saying
that
just
because
you
won
the
Celebrity
Big
Brother,
you
are
more
attached
towards
the
U.K?
I
definitely
got
more
attached
to
the
U.K
after
the
Celebrity
Big
Brother.
It's
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't
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
completely
appreciate
that.
There
are
very
few
actors
who
go
to
different
countries
and
are
recognised
there
as
well.
I
am
blessed
from
that
front.
It's
not
only
the
Indians
who
recognise
me
in
the
U.K.
It's
the
natives
and
the
main
stream
people
too.
Can
you
brief
us
who
has
designed
your
outfits
for
The
Unforgettable
Tour?
Manish
Malhotra
is
designing
my
costumes
for
the
show.
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
maintain.
It's
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's
a
good
working
relationship.
Besides
being
a
bit
busy
with
the
Tour,
what
else
is
keeping
you
busy
in
your
life
in
a
metro?
As
I
said
that
I
am
filming
for
The
Man
right
now
and
have
just
finished
shooting
a
song
for
Karan
Johar's
next
film
Dostana
and
after
that
I
start
my
home
production
in
November
under
S2
Global
Productions.
I
am
busy
with
that
too.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
scripting.
Once
I
announce
the
film,
maybe
you
guys
will
get
to
know
what
the
film
is
called.
We
haven't
yet
zeroed
on
the
name
of
the
film.
Any
parting
message
for
all
your
fans
who
are
desperate
to
see
you
perform
live
at
the
O2
Arena
in
London?
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
come
to
the
U.K
with
The
Unforgettable
Tour.
I
can
vouch
for
one
thing
-
It
will
be
unforgettable.
We
can't
let
you
go
like
this
Shilpa.
I
mean,
you
have
to
let
us
know
the
songs
you
are
going
to
perform
on
the
Tour.
I
can
only
tell
you
that
I
am
going
to
perform
on
this
rocking
Punjabi
number.
I
am
not
allowed
to
divulge
too
many
details.
Don't
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?
I
think
that
Wizcraft
is
pretty
sorted
on
that
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'm
sure
this
Unforgettable
Tour
is
like
a
cakewalk
for
them.
I
don't
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
participants
who
are
in
the
house
waiting
to
be
celebrities
when
they
come
out?
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's
happening
inside
the
house.
