Shetty confirms wedding date finalised

Shilpa Shetty has confirmed that she and Raj Kundra have finalised a date for their wedding.

Shetty, who announced that the pair are engaged last week, revealed that the date will be decided when her sister Shamita is available to attend.

Writing on her blog, the 34-year-old actress said: "I know everyone's eager to know about the wedding date. All I can say is yes it's been finalised and I will make an official announcement as soon as I know when Shamita is coming out."

"The date was decided a week ago and we all came to the consensus that we should go ahead because another good mahurat (auspicious time) was a long way off. And considering Raj's parents and relatives were down from London for a week, so it seemed convenient."

Shamita is currently participating in Bigg Boss 3, the Indian version of Big Brother.
