Shilpa Shetty refuses a selfie request from a female police officer at Lalbaugcha.
In a surprising turn of events, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty-Kundra announced the closure of her popular restaurant Bastian Bandra on her Instagram stories on Tuesday. The establishment, known for hosting high-profile events and attracting a celebrity crowd, will close its doors on September 4 after nine years in operation.
Bastian Bandra, a hotspot for the elite, became synonymous with events like the "Arcane Affair." The restaurant has catered to many celebrities over the years, making it a significant part of Mumbai's nightlife. Shilpa Shetty-Kundra, the owner of Bastian Bandra, shared the news of its closure with her followers.
The announcement received mixed reactions, with some commenting about the attention given to Bollywood celebrities and others commenting on Shilpa's perceived attitude. One comment suggested that Shilpa maintains a different demeanor on dance shows compared to her appearance in the video announcing the closure. However, another user defended Shilpa, stating that she should not be paid so much attention nor asked for selfies from Bollywood people.
In a separate incident, a viral video showed Shilpa refusing a police officer's request to take a selfie during her pandal darshan at Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja. This refusal was met with another comment criticizing the police for providing protection to people like Shilpa. Shilpa's security team reportedly warned the officer not to act that way.
It is worth noting that Shilpa Shetty-Kundra relocated Bastian Bandra at some point. The reasons for the closure and the future plans of Shilpa are yet to be announced. The closure of Bastian Bandra marks the end of an era in Mumbai's nightlife and leaves many wondering what's next for the city's entertainment scene.
