The latest buzz is that the spa business of Shilpa Shetty is going down and the Lokhandwala branch has already closed. Another branch located at Khar is also reportedly going to be closed.

 

The only functional outlet is that of Ghatkopar. She got into this business in 2009 with her friend Kiran Bawa.

 

A source said, "Shilpa has been more focused on cricket and has been travelling a lot. As a result she was not been able to provide as much time to her business venture she being the face of it with Kiran handling the business side of it."

 

About the Lokhandwala branch getting closed, Shilpa said, "It was because the rent was too high. It was not commensurate with the space. We had only three massage rooms, when ideally I would want at least five. Moreover the owner desired to sell the space. Also, there are too many spas in the Lokhandwala area, so we thought it was better to move a bit away to another closer location."

 

She added, "When we are paying a fat amount, we should get space to match. We are currently looking for a new premise at Lokhandwala. Just yesterday, I saw a couple of places. Similarly, the Khar flagship which is operational now will in the coming months move to a new location."
