Actress is planning to throw a pre-Holi bash on March 10
Shilpa Shetty will be celebrating Holi quite differently this year. The actress plans to throw a lavish party celebrating her association with the Rajasthan Royals.
A source reveals, "Shilpa is very excited about her partnership with the Royals.

She's leaving no stone unturned to boost the morale of her team and is making sure they're treated well before the matches begin.
The party will be co-hosted by Raj Kundra and Shilpa. However, since it's not happening on the actual festival day, there won't be any colour involved."

Great time to celebrate
Confirming this, Shilpa said, "Yes, I am having a pre Holi bash on March 10 at the Grand Hyatt.
Though we won't be playing with colours on stage there will lots of bhang. We intend having good fun! I am launching so many great things this year the medi spa and being part of the IPL.
I just felt it was a great time to celebrate. I normally don't celebrate Holi much. The only only time I remember a Holi party was when I went to Abhishek's party and was dunked into the coloured pool it was horrible! I won't ever forget that experience!"
Though festivities are in the air, Shilpa is currently saddened and dismayed by the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan.
Is she worried about the security conditions for her team Rajasthan Royals during the IPL season? "It's very sad what happened in Pakistan.
The security conditions in IPL last year were good and all the teams were treated with utmost care. Maybe because of the security issue, the IPL has asked Pakistani players not to play this time.
I am not worried about the IPL here as I am sure they will take equal precautions this time too if not more."
