Shilpa Hurt, Upset & Alligated

Shilpa Shetty is kind of hugely upset. This is payback time. And the gorgeous actress and television host was not holding back any. First things first, she had nothing with her UK protagonist Jade Goody coming down to Mumbai for her reality television show, nor anything to do with Goody’s sudden departure either. Ditto for politician Ramdas Athavale being kept out of the show allegedly because he is a Dalit. So, why should people burn an effigy of her in Thane?

“How am I at fault? Am I the channel or part owner of it? It’s the prerequisite of the channel to decide who’s in and who’s not. I’m being paid to host the show and that’s where my job ends,” Shilpa snapped. Naturally, she’s hurt by the incident and is expecting an apology. “It’s disgusting to hear people saying things like ‘Shilpa Shetty ke putle ko jala diya.’ It’s disrespect shown to me and for no good reason.”

As for Goody, Shilpa said, “I think it’s presumptuous of the press to believe her departure was stage managed. I don’t think the channel would go to such an extent just for TRPs.” Goody, she clarified, is suffering from cancer which is in the second stage. “I spoke to her and she wished she could have stayed longer,” added Shilpa. Yes, it was true that the show’s participants had to undergo medical and psychological tests, but Goody was decided on at the last minute. “Let’s show a bit of empathy towards someone who is suffering, let’s not treat her like a news item,” Shilpa pleaded.

There’s also the rumour that she’s lobbying to get sister Shamita Shetty into the Big Brother show in London. “Not true,” Shilpa retorted, “Shamita is only holidaying in London. And she would never do any reality show. She’s different from me, she’s an introvert, there no question of her being able to stay in a house for 13 long weeks.”
