Shilpa Shetty pens down her second book on recipes

Bollywood actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty, who debuted as an author with her book 'The Great Indian Diet', is coming up with the second volume.

"In the coming days, I will be announcing a big news in the health sector. I am very excited about that. I am writing my second book. The first book 'The Great Indian Diet' is already a bestseller, so on the back of that I am doing the second book now," she said on Wednesday at an event to promote the '#SmallStepsToHealthyHeart' initiative by Saffola life.

Asked what the book is about, Shilpa shied from revealing details and said: "It will be something about recipes."

The 'Life in a... Metro' star is one of the few actresses who has maintained her gorgeous looks flawlessly.

The fashionable diva said: "Staying healthy and fit, it has been a way of living my life. I just feel that making people aware of their health has become a way of life for me."

"I have made modifications in my life and people can see it. They ask me about my fitness. I don't stop myself to eat. I love food but I eat in a proper way," Shilpa said.

"I think as a celebrity I should make people aware that they are consuming food in a wrong way. Having said that, I want to tell them what they should do or eat to become healthy and fit," she added.

"In rural areas, people live a simple life and eat normal food. They can't afford junk food. Keeping your food simple is the idea to stay healthy," Shilpa, 41, advised.
