Shilpa Shetty adds another notch on her nearly worn-out belt. She has now gone the Preity Zinta way; and has bought a big stake in Rajasthan Royals alongwith businessman beau Raj Kundra.
Rajasthan Royals was the only Indian Premier League team to not have any celebrity angle. Check out the others below.
Shah Rukh Khan own the Kolkata Knightriders
Preity Zinta and boyfriend Ness Wadia own the Kings XI Punjab
Hrithik Roshan was the celeb mascot for Mumbai Indians
Katrina Kaif was the celeb mascot for Royal Challengers Bangalore
Hansika Motwani was the celeb mascot for Hyderabad Deccan Chargers
South star Vijay was the celeb mascot for Chennai Super Kings
Akshay Kumar was the celeb mascot for Delhi Daredevilsu00a0
It may be argued that the Royalsu00a0won last timeu00a0as they wereu00a0free from starry trappings. Nowu00a0Shilpa, who's riding on a wave of self-proclaimed success after her Big Brother win, is ready to infuse even this team with star (?) power. Will this affect the team's performance?
We also wonder if now tabloids will be ablaze with rumours of Shilpa and Royals' coach and captain Shane Warne. Let's wait and see if they hug each other after any of the wins... considering Shane is such a ladies man, will there be any sparks?
