Groom hunt on for Shilpa Shetty

Here's some more dope from London. If sources are to be believed then mommy Sunanda Shetty is now groom-hunting for daughter Shilpa. Apart from chalking out her lengthy feature interviews in UK tabloids and magazines Sunanda is sparing thoughts on her daughter's wedding, too. Needless to say, she's been socialising with the wealthy NRI gang and taking a close look at the bachelor's ready to take a plunge. A reliable source from London informs, "After having hit the headlines with her win on Celebrity Big Brother, Sunanda Shetty wants to steer clear of any more link-ups. It's true that she's been interacting with a lot of wealthy Indians here with her daughter in tow. Marriage is definitely, on the cards."

At these high profile dos Shilpa has been reportedly bonding with a lot of industrialists. The same source tells us, "Shilpa is a very friendly gal. She's handled herself with unparalleled dignity and grace. Obviously, the wealthy Indian families are going gaga over her.

Who wouldn't want to marry a traditional gal like her?"

Considering the moolah riding over her and the chance to get a foothold in the West the Shettys may not exactly be in a tearing hurry. Another source reveals, "An engagement ceremony may sound more real. Shilpa's second innings has just taken off. She's

not going to dump her career for the sake of marriage. But one can't ignore the long queue of suitors for sure."

Back at home Shilpa's close friends and acquaintances are yet to speak to the actress. Says director-producer Anubhav Sinha, who had been linked to the actress in the past, says, "After she won Big Brother, I had sent her this congratulatory SMS. However, that never reached her because she's changed her number. I wouldn't be surprised if Shilpa's mother is looking for a perfect groom."

The actress' publicist and spokesperson however, didn't deny the possibility either. "Right now the world wants to marry Shilpa. But it depends entirely on Shilpa to make the choice," he says .
