Don't give up on love
Shilpa’s heart was broken by the Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar but she never gave up on love. The rumour mills were abuzz about her ‘relationship’ with director Anubhav Sinha, but she firmly denied them. After winning Big Brother, Shilpa went to launch her signature perfume S2 and met Raj occasionally for the launch preparations. On their first media appearance, Shilpa called Raj, her ‘business friend’ but their frequent meetings soon took a personal turn.
Shilpa soon announced her engagement to the world and proudly showed off the 20 carat diamond ring which had been gifted to her by Raj. A firm believer of karma and past life, Shilpa went on to say in an interview that Raj was a part of her past life and now they are back together.

Akshay and Shilpa have come face to face on a number of occasions, most recently on the celebrity dance show Nach Baliye, but Shilpa has always been pleasant to her ex-flame.

The events leading up to the trial were that Jefferson hitched a ride with 2 of his friends, Brother and bear. They all stopped at a liquor store, where brother and bear demanded that the store owner sell them alcohol. When the owner refused they all began to shoot leaving Jefferson standing there stunned. Brother, Bear, and the store owner all died in that store, and Jefferson saw the open cash register and started to take the money out of it. In the process 2 white men came into the store, and witnessed Jefferson taking the money. During the trial, his lawyer said he was a boy and wasn’t capable of planning a robbery.
