Shilpa Shetty cancels shoot to nurse son

Actor puts child’s health first, channel ropes in choreographer Saroj Khan as guest judge

Ever since she became a mother last year, Shilpa Shetty has put her family before work. So much so, that the actor cancelled the shoot of the reality show Nach Baliye for which she is a judge, because her infant son was unwell.

The makers and channel requested veteran choreographer Saroj Khan to step in and be a guest judge and Saroj obliged. The two weekend episodes of the Star Plus show were shot yesterday.

Shilpa’s nine-month-old son Viaan Raj Kundra wasn’t keeping well since last week and was even hospitalised which led to her decision.

Shilpa says, “Since my son Viaan fell ill and was hospitalised, I was stressed but am grateful to the channel for understanding my predicament. I will miss next week’s episode, but will definitely be back on Nach Baliye soon. Viaan is on his way to recovery. I would like to thank my fans for their concern, prayers and wishes.”
