Shilpa Shetty

Those fans who thought ringing Shilpa Shetty was a good idea won’t be hearing her voice on the line when they call. After being inundated with hundreds of calls and SMS messages, Shetty has ceased using that number for her mobile.

The actress has also filed a complaint with the authorities against the original fan, Jeetu Sethi who obtained her private number and publicized it through a mass email. Dale Bhagwagar, Shetty’s publicist said, “Such mischief is damaging and Shilpa is not the kind of person to take it lying down.”

“If convicted, the fan could be facing a six-month jail term for harassment and illegally using the Internet to publicize a private phone number,” said Mumbai police officer Sushil Joshi.

Shetty is currently in Britain performing a musical titled Miss Bollywood.
