  • Story Text: Shilpa Shetty's movie is the first to premiere outside of India, and may serve as a stepping stone to more work in the UK for the Bollywood actress. Shilpa Shetty was all glitz and glamour on Tuesday (May 8) as she attended the world premiere of her latest movie, "Life in a Metro."
    The Bollywood actress arrived to the Leicester Square premiere with director Anurag Basu and her sister Shamita, as well as her mother. Also present was former Big Brother acquaintance, Danielle Lloyd with whom Shetty made peace following allegations of racist bullying in the house.
    Shetty said she was proud that it was her film, which marked her first UK premiere, but stopped short of confirming she would move there permanently, saying only she hadn't bought a house yet and was currently jetting between India and the UK to pursue work on either side.
    "I'm really overwhelmed with the reaction and I'm so so happy that it's happened and at last an Indian movie is seeing its premiere in Leicester Square. It's a very proud moment," she said, adding: "I haven't thought about it but I have to keep travelling between the UK and India because there is work in both places."
    Shetty also has plans for more business in the UK. She wants to open her own restaurant and is already planning to launch her first fragrance in July.
