Actress Shilpa Shetty is home alone this Diwali

It's a lonely Diwali for actress Shilpa Shetty. "You see, this is the first Diwali when mom isn't in town. She's with my sister Shamita in Cape Town. That leaves me and Dad alone at home for Diwali Being the woman of the house for Diwali isn't easy. And I'm finding that out. I've to buy everything from the decorations to the food. But no crackers for us. Every time one bursts, my pets hide under the sofa. Even I feel like joining them there," she bursts into laughter.

"Our home is dismayingly empty right now. The soonapan would have killed me if it were not for work. Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa has filled the lacuna very nicely. It has been an amazing experience," she says.

Shilpa has already said 'yes' to Season 2 of Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, "I don't know about Sanjay Bhansali and Farah Khan. But I'm definitely in for the second season. When Jhalak… returns at this time next year I certainly want to be part of it."

Any plans of finding love in this festive season? "First, love has to find me, no? My mother says those who are unlucky in love finally find the right spouse.When you're a known face men seem to get intimidated. They approach you either too formally or too casually. There's never a balance."

Meanwhile, she has found good chemistry on screen with Kay Kay menon in Anurag Basu’s Metro.

"I don't know what it is," giggles Shilpa. "It's just so amazing. KK is such a powerhouse of intensity. I'm far more spontaneous. When we come together, something amazing happens. To top it, we're shooting in the rains. So it's like fire and water. It's never happened before. I want to do more films with KK. He's an amazing co-star," says Shipa.
