Shilpa Shetty Reception Photos:

It was a sparkling night when the tinselville stars turned up for Shilpa Shetty-Raj Kundra’s pompous wedding reception on Tuesday at the Grand Hyatt. But Shilpa’s ex beau Akshay Kumar was missing from the scene.

According to sources, Shilpa and Raj didn’t want to face an embarrassing situation and that’s why Akshay and wife Twinkle Khanna were not invited. In fact, it was Raj who wasn’t in favour of inviting Akki, though Shilpa buried the hatchet last year when she met Akki on the sets of ‘Bigg Boss 2’. Akshay’s close friend producer Sajid Nadiadwala and his wife Wardha were also not invited.

Another amazing piece of news is that during the wedding, the bandwallas were warned not to play songs from Akki’s film, even if the movie had Shilpa as his co-star.

However, Shilpa missed her friend Salman Khan who couldn’t be there for her reception as well as the wedding. Sallu was invited for mehendi, sangeet as well as shaadi but couldn’t show up because he is shooting for Arbaaz Khan’s ‘Dabanng’.

The celebrities who were present to bless the newly wed included Amitabh Bachchan with bahu Aishwarya Rai , Rani Mukherjee, Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan, Juhi Chawla , Rekha, Kangana Ranaut, Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne, Arjun Rampal with wife Mehr, Sameera Reddy, Karan Johar, Fardeen Khan and his wife, director-choreographer Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder, Tabu, Sunny, Bobby and Abhay Deol, Ritesh Deshmukh, Manayata Dutt, Monica Bedi and also Govinda along with his family were seen at the glossy party.
