"Mr Kundra had a few things of mine, and he flew all the way from London to Mumbai to give them to me. On the first day, he sent me a colourful bag, and the next day, he sent me another bag.

I immediately picked up the phone and made it clear to him that nothing could happen between us as I was not interested in shifting base from Mumbai to London."

Later, Shilpa also revealed about her blind-dating and said, "There was this boy who would call me up every evening. I was in college at that time, and which girl wouldn't like the attention at that age? In those days, we just had a landline, and I would wait for him to call every evening."

She Further Added...

"As soon as my father would get home, I would disconnect the phone. The boy would call himself Mr X, and this blind-dating continued for nearly three or four months.

One fine day, I asked him to meet me at a bus stop, but he never showed up. I decided to break up with him after that."
