Shilpa Shetty denies pregnancy rumours

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty has taken to Twitter to deny pregnancy rumours, saying that she is "sick and tired" of the media speculation about her personal life.

The 36-year-old actress who is married to NRI businessman Raj Kundhra, has rubbished reports claiming that the couple have already prepared a nursery for their "bundle of joy".

"Sick and tired of all the congratulatory msgs and calls, so for the last time 'I am not pregnant'. All this is so annoying (sic)," the actress wrote on the micro-blogging website.

Shilpa who is the co-owner of the IPL team, Rajasthan Royals, along with her husband of two years, added, "To all my followers 'If how and when I want to make any personal announcement, is entirely my (not the press) prerogative! As of now there's none to make (sic)."

The actress also requested the press to respect her privacy. "I do know I am in the public domain, and everyones curious, but these are sensitive issues, hence wud appreciate the press respects my privacy (sic)," she tweeted.

Reticent Hrithik heads to Twitter

The latest actor to join the Twitterati is Hrithik Roshan. Normally known to be quite a shy person, Roshan has realized the power that Twitter can get him with his fans all over the world.

And with Kites publicity about to roll, we can’t help but put two and two together and come up with an answer that will make his movie fly real high at the box office.

“Duggu was convinced by his celebrity friends who are already on Twitter to join it. Today social networking sites have become great places to ensure your film is publicized to every corner of the world,” says a friend of the star, “When MNIK got into trouble, both Karan and SRK could constantly make statements which were picked up by the media. This helped maintain and build the buzz around the film. All of this is great publicity for the film.”

Twitter is the latest craze to have hit Bollywood. Making statements, uploading pictures and letting your fans know every time you take a bath or work out is what B-Town has reduced this social networking site to. But we aren’t complaining!

“Hrithik has fans all over the world. This makes him accessible to them. And which fan would not like to believe that he or she can access Duggu? In fact he was quite against coming on initially. But with his sister in law Farah Khan Ali constantly badgering his way online, he succumbed. But ever since he joined it, he has been getting such a great response and people are constantly asking him about Kites… that he plans to use it a lot more,” says the friend.

Soon after joining Twitter, Hrithik wrote about his speech problem. “A msg to all my brothers n sisters battling speech handicaps, will talk directly at length soon. Meantime 2 imp things - Make peace with ur truths. b in acceptance. if u can't look beyond ur handicap,u can't expect others to.2nd- learn to forgive immature minds.. Forgive immature minds who make u feel less for they know not what they do.”
