The loser wondered if the reason for defeat was not enough vandalism to its credit -- if you do't call for regular bandhs and pelt stones at BEST buses, people don't vote for you! The spoiler was content that the plan to confuse voters with agitations over name, language and postbox number had worked brilliantly -- an angry speech in your mother tongue is all it takes to swing an election! In other words, the city found itself exactly where it was before the elections -- the only fortunes that changed were those of the politicians! And Shilpa Shetty -- who decided to get engaged over the weekend, thanks to a misunderstanding!
It all happened when Shilpa and Raj Kundra went out shopping for a football team. A few hours later, Shilpa was so exhausted that she dropped to her knees and said, "Raj, carry me!" But Raj, his ears deafened by Diwali firecrackers bursting all around him, misread the situation and jumped up in joy. "Yes," he said. "I will marry you!" He pulled out a ring from his pocket and quickly slipped it down her finger. Shilpa did some quick thinking and realised that they jointly-owned an IPL team, a restaurant and a spa. If she were to turn him down, she would be left only with an item number in Dostana!
Of course, we're kidding. Because the gorgeous lady was thrilled by the proposal but accepted it on the condition that they get engaged before her sister Shamita gets evicted from Bigg Boss! "I fear for her safety," Shilpa told Raj. "Kamaal R Khan is out there roaming the streets!" You might recall that KRK was thrown out of Bigg Boss last week for hurling an empty bottle at Shamita Shetty after she mentioned Desh Drohi as one of her favourite movies in the genre of torture porn! "I don't want him to gatecrash our engagement party and throw foodstuff at her," said Shilpa.
To keep KRK at bay, Shilpa and Raj decided to include India's defence minister in the guest list. "If we can't have an AK-47," reasoned Shilpa, "let's at least get an A K Antony!"
