Bollywood starlet to launch medi-spas

POSTED 11 May 2009 . BY Tom Walker

Shilpa Shetty, the Bollywood actress who became famous in the UK when she took part in Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, is set to launch a chain of medi-spas in Mumbai, India.

According to news reports, the actress will be opening the spas in partnership with Kiran Bawa, who already owns and operates a spa in India.

The facilities will reportedly offer the services of doctors and skin specialists, administering everything from acne remedies to Botox.

The plan is to launch the first spa at a five-star hotel in Mumbai. If the pilot site is successful, the pair may consider rolling out the spas across India.
