I love the Deols to death, says Shilpa

A story published in a tabloid suggesting that Shilpa Shetty is upset with the Deols - Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby - for not allowing her to watch the premiere of "Apne" with them has Shilpa astounded.

"On the contrary I'm more miffed with this fabrication than anything the Deols did or didn't do. I love the Deols, specially Dharamji, to death," Shilpa told IANS from Paris.

"Why would they treat me badly? And why would I take offence about the seating arrangement? The truth is Shamita and I had to attend a family function at night. We thought we'd attend the 'Apne' premiere and then go to the function. But the screening started very late, so we just showed our faces and had to leave. That's it.

"The next day, on Friday, I had a special screening of 'Apne' for my family and friends."

Shilpa says such rumours have been doing the rounds since she started working in "Apne".

"Throughout the making of 'Apne' we had so much fun. I knew I didn't have an author-backed role. But just the pleasure of being in the same screen space as Dharamji, Sunny and Bobby made me very excited. If Anil Sharma makes 'Apne 2', I want to be a part of it."

The film released last week and is doing well.
