Actress Shilpa Shetty, who co-owns the IPL Rajasthan Royals team with her London-based businessman boyfriend Raj Kundra, considers it a long-term profitable investment.

"Raj (my partner) and I have thought of it as a long-term investment plan and I really think the way the Rajasthan Royals have turned out as a team has been spectacular," Shilpa, who is in South Africa to support her team told the Times.co.za in an interview.
