Shilpa Shetty Clarifies Bastian Restaurant Shutdown
Shilpa Shetty recently stirred up excitement on social media when she announced that Bastian, the popular restaurant in Bandra, would be shutting down. This announcement led to a flurry of reactions from fans and followers online. However, to set the record straight, Shilpa quickly took to Instagram to clarify that Bastian is not closing for good. In a heartfelt video, she assured everyone, saying, “No, I am not shutting down Bastian. I promise!”
In her video, Shilpa expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming love and support she has received for Bastian. However, she urged her fans not to allow that love to turn toxic. Her message was simple but powerful: "Bastian is going nowhere." She explained that while they were closing one chapter of Bastian, two new stories were waiting to be written. This indicates a significant transformation rather than a complete closure.
Shilpa further elaborated on the changes, mentioning that Bastian Bandra was the foundation of their hospitality business. As part of this transition, the beloved Bandra location will be transformed into a new restaurant called Ammakai, which will serve South Indian Mangalorean cuisine, connecting her back to her roots. Meanwhile, Bastian will be relocating to Juhu under the name Bastian Beach Club, ensuring that the essence of Bastian continues.
In the midst of this restaurant evolution, Shilpa Shetty is also facing serious allegations related to a ₹60 crore fraud case involving businessman Deepak Kothari. Shilpa's lawyer has publicly denied these allegations, stating they are entirely false. He mentioned that they have not yet received a copy of the FIR and would respond appropriately once they have more details.
This situation highlights the dynamic nature of the restaurant industry in India, where popular hotspots often evolve and adapt. Shilpa Shetty’s journey with Bastian reflects her commitment to not only culinary excellence but also to engaging with her audience and addressing challenges head-on. As fans eagerly await the new ventures, it is clear that Shilpa is ready to embrace the next chapter in her culinary journey.
