New Delhi, July 24 - Shilpa Shetty will soon fulfil her childhood dream of owning a spa and she has convinced yesteryears actress Rekha to launch her medispa Iosis here Sunday as she feels that the senior star is synonymous with timeless beauty.

'I had to think of who was going to do the grand launch and couldn't come up with a better name than the diva herself - someone who is synonymous with timeless beauty and wellness. So I approached (the one and only) Rekhaji,' Shilpa posted on her blog shilpashettylive.com

'I've always looked up to her as an actor, role model for constant reinvention. We share a very special bond and have always been in touch with each other. I think it's the South Indian connection. When I asked her to grace the occasion, she agreed and I was ecstatic,' she further added.

The 34-year-old will be opening her flagship store in partnership with entrepreneur Kiran Bawa, well-known in beauty and wellness industry.
