Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty who has finalised her wedding date to fiance Raj Kundhra, is guilt ridden that she got engaged in the absence of her sister Shamita Shetty and to make amends she will only make an official announcement when her younger sibling is by her side.

"I know everyone's eager to know about the wedding date. All I can say is yes it's been finalised and will make an official announcement as soon as I know when Shamita’s coming out!" Shetty who got engaged to jewelery tycoon Kundhra in a private ceremony on Saturday, wrote on her blog.

Shamita is currently participating in the reality show 'Big Boss 3' which sees her locked up inside a house with 13 other celebrities, cut off from the outer world and cameras watching their every move.

Shilpa missed her younger sister during the engagement saying that her absence made it a bitter-sweet movement.

"It's been a time of both joy and sorrow for me, the joy is obvious because Raj and I feel happy to take our relationship to the next level, but as most of you know my sister Shamita is still in the Big Boss house and could not attend. She doesn’t even know," wrote the 34-year-old actress.
