Court rejects Shiney Ahuja's bail application Stallone turns to Ayurveda to treat knee problems Humungous expectations from 'Love Aaj Kal'Shiney’s bail plea to be heard on Tuesday

: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who had caught the imagination of the British public for her appearance on popular reality TV show Big Brother, has stuck a chord with them again through her debut musical.

The dusky beauty mesmerised the English audience on Wednesday night at the hallowed Royal Albert Hall in London with a scintillating performance in her musical Miss Bollywood.

A capacity crowd at the renovated Hall cheered her repeatedly as Shilpa along with her 40-strong troupe gave a brilliant account of themselves in the final of their series of performances in the Europe on Wednesday night.

The musical Miss Bollywood is set against the backdrop of London as the city prepares for the 2012 Olympics.

It follows the story of 'Maya' - performed by Shilpa Shetty - a classically trained dancer and choreographer who recently arrived from India to set up a dance academy in a soon to be demolished East London building.

Maya soon found herself thrust into the limelight, where she must either sink or swim.

Her tribulations include the unwanted attentions of a famous but predatory choreographer and a jealous diva.

The musical is a concoction of riveting dance sequences, showcasing a combination of eclectic dance forms taken from the Hindi cinema with Shilpa Shetty re-capturing on stage some of Bollywood's greatest hit songs over the past four decades.
