I would love to have children of my own: Shilpa

New Delhi: For a woman as busy as actress Shilpa Shetty, everything has to be planned, even having a relationship and starting a family.

The 32-year-old actress, who became a household name in the UK after her success in the television reality show Celebrity Big Brother, has had a packed schedule in the last one year.

She's launched a perfume, filmed a yoga video, done a couple of movies and is now starring in a theatre production called Miss Bollywood which is showing in Berlin and will travel to London.

"Right now, I have so much on my plate," she told AFP in a telephone interview. "I'm up to my nose with all of this."

Her drive for making the best of the moment has already led to nearly 50 film appearances, but she admits that her personal life is far from complete, with starting a family her next big ambition.

"Where is the time? I have no time at all. I'm very busy with this musical and after this I'm going to be busy with my movie," she told AFP.

"Of course I love children. I would love to have children of my own, maybe the end of next year or something. Let's see,” she added.

She has been romantically linked to actor Akshay Kumar in the past, but since then she has reportedly been single and she implies she is yet to find the stable relationship she's looking for.

"Before that (starting a family), I have to find the right man,” she told AFP.
