Shilpa Shetty is recovering from a foot injury as a result of her oversized sunglasses.

Shilpa wrote on her blog: "I hurt my foot bad enough to get 15 stitches. Don’t ask me how.

"In a freak accident, thanks to my big sunglasses and nose in the air, I overlooked a sharp metal piece that slit my foot, thankfully not below but over the foot."

"It is nothing that local anaesthesia, a tetanus injection and antibiotics couldn't solve. There’s nothing to worry about other than my dates that have gone for a toss, disabling me from taking Odissi lessons for my new film ‘Desire’," she wrote.

She signed off saying: "Look before you leap and stay grounded."
