Shilpa Shetty: 'I'm no homewrecker'

Shilpa Shetty has denied reports that she is a homewrecker, claiming that she only started a relationship with fiancé Raj Kundra after his divorce.

The couple met while Kundra was separated from his wife, but she publicly accused the Bollywood actress of breaking up the marriage.

Shetty told Hello!: "It actually made me feel physically ill. To be called a marriage-breaker was the worst thing possible.

"It brought such shame on to my parents, and I felt so bad for their sake."

She added: "To be honest, I think I was in love with Raj from day one - but I was in denial.

"I made it clear to him that our relationship could go no further than friendship until he actually had his divorce."

Shetty recently revealed that she will concentrate on her career for the next two years or so before taking time off to start a family.
