Dr. Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty is hogging the limelight once again. But this time not with a controversy but a Doctorate degree that a leading UK University is conferring on the Bollywood actress.
The Leeds Metropolitan University will confer the doctorate to the 32-year-old star on Wednesday.
With this doctorate, Shilpa will become the youngest actor from the Indian film fraternity to join the ranks of Amitabh Bachchan, Shabana Azmi and Yash Chopra, who have been earlier chosen for the honour.

Shilpa Shetty on the doctorate
It came as a huge surprise for me too. But I am really humbled and I accept it. I don’t know how to react. Sharing the platform with great stalwarts like Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), Yashji (Yash Chopra), Shabanaji (Shabana Azmi) is a huge honour.
