When Shilpa Shetty Met Matt Damon

Matt Damon met Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at the Indian Premiere League Gala dinner in Cape Town, South Africa. Shilpa is part owner of the Rajasthan Royals (a team playing in the IPL) while Matt Damon was filming "The Human Factor" directed by Clint Eastwood. Opening ceremonies for the event began on April 17th with a parade. Other notables at the ceremony include Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta.

South Africa will be hosting the games that will be played between a few Indian franchises. Unlike the Cricket World Cup which South Africa Hosted in 2003, the IPL will not include nation versus nation matches. IPL is getting very lucky, they're getin all the attention in the world, just by celebrities stopping by!!

The Indian Premier League (IPL) was welcomed to the South African shores with dazzling fireworks and sounds of traditional African drummers in a glittering opening ceremony at the Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.
