Interestingly, Shane is the captain-cum-coach of the Rajasthan Royals, co-owned by Shamita's sister Shilpa Shetty and her beau Raj Kundra.
It is learnt that Shamita and Shane grew close during this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) tour. Reveals a source, "Warne is known to be a ladies' man. He met the younger Shetty just once before the IPL. They spent time during early post-win celebrations while in South Africa. Since then, they've bonded and kept in touch. The actress is familiar with Shane's colourful past and is wisely keeping her distance."
And so, while the matches were on in Cape Town, the players were put up at The Southern Sun, Cape Sun hotel. Meanwhile, Shamita was staying at The One And Only Hotel in Cape Town with sister Shilpa and her beau Raj.

Sources claimed Shane was seen cosying up to Shamita at a South African nightclub. When the media got wind of it and landed up there, Shamita took the back exit and left.
On her link-up with Shane, she insists, "I've interacted with him only three times." About being seen at a club with him, she retorts, "It was a match-win party where all my friends and family were present and so were the RR players, Warne included. I wasn't there with him all alone."
