Shilpa suprised with gift of her first anniversary

It's a giddy anniversary gift, surely! Shilpa Shetty spent her first wedding anniversary in Dubai with husband Raj Kundra at her new home on the ninetieth floor of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, which truly stands talllllllllll at 828m with 160 floors.


Says a source close to the actress, "Shilpa was thrilled when Raj gifted her the luxury apartment. It's his wedding anniversary gift to her.


Apparently, Kundra gifted her the keys in Mumbai, a while ago. Word has it that when Shilpa visited Dubai a few months ago, she'd fallen like nine pins for the 'Burj Khalifa' and had expressed a desire to stay there.


Adds the insider, "The couple has taken a three day break to celebrate their first wedding anniversary there. Raj also has something else planned for Shilpa a lavish dinner with a few surprises thrown in."


As per close sources, Shilpa is all set to design the interiors of her apartment, while she's there. Later, she's headed to Bangkok to shoot a shampoo ad, towards November end.


Funnily, Shilpa's Dubai trip almost got the axe as she was down with a bad case of pharyngitis and had later postponed her trip by a day.

The source adds, "Shilpa suddenly developed 103 degree temperature on Saturday night and a bad bout of pharyngitis. Though the fever waned by Sunday evening, her voice has gone (sic) completely. She was in much pain but they didn't want to cancel their trip. Raj and Shilpa finally left the next morning."
