Shilpa Shetty follows Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The mother-to-be was recently seen covering up her baby bump at a function, just the way Aishwarya did when she was pregnant

Tugging at her dupatta every now and then, Shilpa Shetty didn’t seem quite comfortable with people having a glance at her tummy at a recent event. Making sure she hid her curvy little bump, Shilpa’s concealing act reminds us of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was equally conscious at one point of time about baring the swollen-up stomach. Fortunately Beti-B arrived soon enough and rescued her from the tiring task of playing hide-and-seek. On other hand, B-town to-be-mommies Celina Jaitley and Lara Dutta Bhupathi seem to be extremely comfortable in their own burgeoning skins right now. Not treating the whole pregnancy thing like a hush-hush affair, they sashay around in stylish body-hugging outfits and flaunt their figures (however disproportionate) unabashedly. So we suggest Shilpa takes a chill pill and sheds all the inhibitions to travel out of the realm of how a conventional mommy should dress. We think Ms Shetty is glowing and looking absolutely gorgeous in a loose cream kurta and net dupatta, but if she’s planning to become the coy and demure type – we suggest she gets that style statement right out of her head!
