Shilpa Shetty Upset For Termination Of Her IPL Team

Actress-turned-businesswoman Shilpa Shetty has been left "too shocked to react" to the termination of the Rajasthan Royals, in which she is a stakeholder, from the Indian Premier League (IPL), while team skipper Shane Warne is "shattered".

"This is for all those who want my reaction ’Honestly too shocked to react,just disheartened... cause it’s more than just a team for us! Still havn’t received the termination, will react after. Need to know the basis of this decision.’ In London now (sic)," Shilpa tweeted.

The IPL governing council (GC) Sunday terminated the contracts of Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, in which Bollywood actor Preity Zinta has a stake for breaches committed by them.

Shilpa and her London-based husband Raj Kundra own Rajasthan Royals.

Australian spinner Shane Warne was shattered at the development.

"Just woke up to news that Royals and Kings out of IPL 4, don’t know anything yet, flying back to Australia... it’s a big shock for Royals, will hopefully get to the bottom of it all (sic)," Warne tweeted.

"The Royals gave young unknown Indian players a chance and I as captain backed them and our coaching staff supported them. We were a team... What now for the youngsters? I hope BCCI (Board of Control for Cricked in India) come to their senses, fingers crossed," he added.

He also pinged his boss on the micro-blogging website.

"Hey Shilpa, please keep me posted if you hear anything, such sad news for us and our loyal fans, shattering to all," he wrote to Shilpa.

Business tycoon Vijay Mallya, who owns Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL team, also expressed his concern about the developments.

"This is downright ridiculous and raises serious questions on the attitude of the BCCI towards IPL franchisees," he posted to Shilpa.

"I wonder if IPL franchisees are serious stakeholders whose investments in participation are respected or are they slaves who only come and play" Mallya later posted on his Twitter page.

Top Ten Bollywood Actress Celebrity

TopTen Bollywood Star

Urmila Matondkar, Rani Mukherji, Kajol, Lara Dutta, Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Sushmita Sen, Vidya Balan, Shilpa Shetty, Mallika Sherawat, Aishwarya Rai Photos, Pics, Images Wallpaper, Photo Gallery, Pictures

Rani Mukherji

Growing age especially when you grow 30-plus can be a setback for any Bollywood actress. But that's not stopping Rani at all! The 31-year-old actress can still give young bombshells a run for their money. She is at her stunning best her latest film Dil Bole Hadippa.

Kajol

Kajol, 34, drifted away from the scene after marriage, but came back with a bang with Aamir Khan in Fanaa. When she puts on her acting shoes, the actress makes a clean sweep at all the award functions. The actress is now doing Karan Johar's much-hyped film My Name Is Khan.

Preity Zinta

She also falls in the 30-plus category. Preity has been away from Bollywood for quite a long time but she is aware that to be able to make it to the league of hot young actors, she needs to stay in shape. So the actor has gone out of the way to lose extra kilos. Preity will be seen in a sexy new avatar in Salman and Kareena's next Main Aur Mrs Khanna.

Bipasha Basu

Voted the Sexiest Asian woman in 2007 by the British weekly newspaper Eastern Eye, the starlet of films like Rudraksh, No Entry, Omkara and Dhoom 2 is taking steps towards signing on for serious roles. But age is surely no bar for Bipasha as she is okay with romancing young actors like Ranbir in Bachna Ae Haseeno and Neil in Aa Dekhen Zara. Bips, who touched 30 on January 7, 2009, talks about life post 30: "I see no change. It is just a number. Yes, with each passing year you do get wiser and it has been happening to me too. I started off at the age of 17 so since then I have become wiser for sure. But not because of the 30th figure."

Lara Dutta

The sexy damsel has gone from fab to super fab. Lara's sexy avatar in Blue has become talk of the town. The 31-year-old actress has sported red-hot bikini in the film. Thumbs up to this rocking hottie in 30s!

Sushmita Sen

The 34-year-old actress hasn't had a single release in 2008 but she made more news for her affairs than her movies. Sush believes that 30s is the best time for a woman to be with herself. Taking herself as an example, the former Miss Universe says, "I have never had this kind of space for myself because I have always been in relationships. But today, I am opening up to life like never before."

Vidya Balan

The 31-year-old actress has sadly been more in news for her fashion sense than her acting skills. Milan Luthria's Bihaad with Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Chenab Gandhi with Big B and Harman Baweja and Vishal Bhardwaj's Ishqiya with Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi are the films she has up her sleeve.

Shilpa Shetty

Who can say this leggy lass is 30-plus? Be it the Big Brother episode or hopping on the IPL bandwagon, the 34-year-old star surely knows how to stay in news.

Mallika Sherawat

There have been countless discussions about the sex bomb's age, but Mallika refuses to admit that she is on the other side of 30. In fact, when the tabloids insisted that she is 35, the actress said in a TV interview, "You know something. I'm 45 and I have two grand kids. They inflate my ego, my success, my failure and now they've inflated my age!"

Aishwarya Rai

She is 30 plus, but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is proving to be an ageless beauty. She's made to the sexy, hot and beautiful lists around the world many times. Ash has also been voted the most desirable woman in the world. Age hasn't deterred this woman in any way. Even after marriage to Abhishek Bachchan and at 35, she is considered piping hot!
