Shilpa Shetty is learnt to be planning to launch her own brand of healthy curries and poppadoms.
The Bollywood actress had been planning to start a chain of curry houses in London for a long time but put the plan.
On the backburner after she and her beau Raj Kundra bought a stake in the IPL team, Rajasthan Royals.
But now, she’s learnt to be giving the idea another serious thought and has even finalized the names of some of the dishes.
For instance, the poppadom will be named ‘Shilpa Poppadom’ in the memory of the late reality TV star Jade Goody who was accused of racially abusing Shilpa.
On the British television show 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2007. It was on this show that Jade disdainfully called her ‘Shilpa Poppadom’.
A source close to Shilpa tells a news agency: “Shilpa thinks Jade will have a little chuckle in heaven about the poppadoms. She has been inundated with requests for her curry recipe and one day she just thought, 'Why don't I just create my own range?”
Shilpa has already launched a Yoga DVD and a perfume range in UK since her win in the reality show two years back. “One of Shilpa's passions in life is healthy living so she wanted to incorporate that into her dishes,” the source added.
