Shilpa Shetty Visits Taj Hotel In Mumbai & Becomes Emotional

Shilpa Shetty visited the Taj Hotel in Mumbai first time after the attacks and became a bit emotional.

“I had tears of joy when I met Ronald, the Mangalorean waiter who’s always served me, spoken to me in Tulu, my mother tongue, and always made me feel at home. I had a sigh of relief when I saw him,” Shilpa posted on her blog.

Shilpa says she was supposed to be at the hotel on Nov 26, when terrorists attacked the hotel. And entering the hotel after nearly two months brought back many feelings, “some not so good” for Shilpa.

“The hotel still looked a beauty, the only major change being the security that had been beefed up. Entering the hotel lobby brought back a whole lot of mixed feelings – nostalgic, some happy, some not… But by the end of dinner, it was all worth it. Nothing’s changed, the menu, the quality, the service and above all the spirit and positivity.

“It was heart-warming to see the beaming faces of the hotel staff and the warmth they extended. This was my first step towards getting over the deep pain and fear that 26/11 left on me,” she wrote.

Though Shilpa was happy to see the usual hustle-bustle at the hotel, she says it will never be the same again. Source
