Shilpa Shetty shocked by Jade Goody's Indian Big Brother bid

Bollywood star hopes loudmouth will be enlightened

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother

Shilpa Shetty says she was surprised to learn Jade Goody was entering the Indian Big Brother house.

The reality star, 27, clashed with the Bollywood actress on Celeb Big Brother in January 2007, sparking a race row.

But Shilpa, 33, who hosts Bigg Boss, says she's looking forward to Jade's appearance. 

‘When I found out Jade was going in, I was as shocked as I was when I first met her,’ she says. ‘Why would she go through this again?

'But then part of me was really happy because this is our opportunity to show her true Indian hospitality and how warm and welcoming we are.’

Shilpa hopes her rival, who is reportedly being paid £100,000 to appear, will benefit from the experience.

‘I hope Jade learns through this about our culture and how beautiful it is and how wonderful our people are,’ she tells the Daily Record.

‘I hope this is an educating and enlightening experience that enriches her idea of what India is.’
