In an unexpected news that would cheer the football fans in India, bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is reported to be interested in buying an Indian football club. Shilpa and her boyfriend Raj Kundra own the IPL team Rajsthan Royals.
Shilpa and Kundra have met AIFF general secretary Alberto Colaco to get some informations about the projects that are going on in football and the general football structure.
Even if it is a publicity gesture, as many purists may fear, this development is really a boon for Indian football. More input of glamour and money will attract Indians more towards the Indian football again and if Shilpa takes the project and becomes successful, that will attract other big names towards this game. We, the football fans, have nothing to lose from here. We get to see the glamour queen in our own field and if something better develops that is more than we expected.
