Shilpa Shetty has finally addressed the rumours surrounding her well-known restaurant, Bastian, in Bandra, ending the buzz that it may close. The actress disclosed that Bastian is going through an interesting transformation rather than shutting down. Taking to Instagram, Shilpa clarified, "No, I am not shutting down Bastian, I promise." She clarified that Bastian itself would be moving to Juhu under the name Bastian Beach Club, while the Bandra outlet would now become a brand-new South Indian eatery named Ammakai.
Shilpa Shetty's big announcement
"I have received numerous calls, but everything said, I can definitely feel the love for Bastian, but don't turn this love into something toxic. I have literally come to say that Bastian is going nowhere," she said in her video message.
What inspired her for the decision?
Shilpa went on to say that her love of cuisine and her cultural heritage serve as inspiration for her current endeavors. "Something new and brilliant again. Going back to my roots with a place called Ammakai, pure South India Mangalorean cuisine in our Bandra Bastian and Bastian Beach Club in Juhu. So I can't wait for all of you to try something new and experience new flavours of Bastian hospitality," she shared.
