It seemed Shilpa Shetty and cancer-stricken British reality TV star Jade Goody have made peace and become good friends in the last couple of months. Especially after Goody’s short lived ‘Bigg Boss’ stint and the discovery of her fatal illness.
Shilpa even publicly shown her support for ailing Jade who has reportedly been given only months to live.
Jade has penned her doubts about the Bollywood actress 2007 win in the Celebrity Big Brother show in her autobiography ‘Jade: Catch A Falling Star’ and says the win was orchestrated. Jade’s racist spat with Shilpa on the show became world news
Tension built in the show when Goody spat out the phrase “Shilpa Poppadom” for the Indian actress that resulted in the infamous racism controversy.
They only seemed to make up recently when the mother-of-two even participated in the Indian version of ‘Big Brother’.
According to thesun.co.uk, Goody has revealed that once she was inside the house, she began to have suspicions that Shilpa was getting special treatment from the producers.
She’s reportedly written, “I got the impression that the producers jumped through hoops for Shilpa Shetty. This was magnified in my mind because in the house she informed us of certain things (obviously none of this was screened, though).”
The autobiography further read, “Shilpa specifically told us all she had insisted on certain clauses in her contract. One was that if she went into the diary room and asked for something (within reason) she would get it.'”
But she also apologized, “Yes, I said those things and they are nasty, but I am not a racist… I shouldn’t have done that.”
It has also come out that after exiting ‘Big Brother’, Goody was diagnosed with depression within a month and was admitted to rehabilitation centre ‘The Priory’, where she got a text that made her once again question the motives of the producers of the show and their apparent bias towards Shilpa.
Goody’s bodyguard has tested after the final results were out: “You okay, Jade? Standing here at the final. Shilpa’s won. The crowd is booing. But on TV everyone can only hear cheers.”
Well, so the world knows more about the two year old controversy now. We still think Bhartiya nari Shilpa would forgive Jade’s revelations out of sympathy.
