Shilpa Shetty Kundra, who has almost achieved an 'iconic status' during the last three years, has turned 35 today.

This's Shilpa's first birthday after marriage and loving hubby Raj has planned special surprises for her.

A source close to Shilpa said, "Raj has been away in London for a few weeks now. She has been shooting for her reality show Zara Nachke Dikha and taking care of her mom Sunanda, who was recently hospitalised. It's unfortunate that Raj wasn't with her during this stressful time, but he wrapped up all of his work to fly to Mumbai and be with her on her birthday."

"He just asked his wife to keep her luggage ready by Sunday night. They flew to Hong Kong on Sunday night, after which a chartered chopper took them to Macao -- their final destination! Raj chose this location because he knows it's one of her favorite holiday destinations -- it's got everything Shilpa likes -- shopping, spas, casinos -- it's like Sin City!," the source added.

On this, the actress said, "I am so thrilled that Raj is back to celebrate my first birthday after marriage. It means a lot to me that in spite of his busy schedule, he made time to be with me. Last year, Raj had organised a surprise party for me at a London hotel with my family and friends. But this year is more special as it's my first birthday with my husband."

The hot couple is staying at 'The Venetian' in Macao at the Paiza Club, which caters to VIP's in royal surroundings and comes with its own entrance, lobby, reception, and guest lifts to the rooms.
