Baby boy born to Indian actress Shilpa Shetty

NEW DELHI (AP) — Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has given birth to a baby boy.

Shetty's husband Raj Kundra tweeted the news Monday.

"God has blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Both mother and baby are fine. I am thrilled to bits," he wrote.

Shetty, 36, gained global fame in 2007 when she appeared on Britain's "Celebrity Big Brother" television show and faced alleged racism. She went on to win the show.

Shetty and Kundra together own a share in the Indian Premier League cricket team Rajasthan Royals.

This is their first child together.
