Shilpa Shetty on UK Big Brother

SHILPA Shetty is presently in UK. She is not shooting there for some Bollywood film but is a part of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’. Big Brother is one of the most talked about and reported show on UK television. The Indian version of it is running presently by the name of ‘Big Boss’.

Reality TV show ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ has returned for a fifth series, with 11 personalities from the worlds of glamour, TV, film, pop music and journalism.



The inmates of Big Brother’s house have tasks to be done every week and if they are successful, they are bigger budgets to buy things and treats as well. At least one celebrity will leave the house every week by a process of nomination and public eviction. The fame which goes along with this, is just too much of a reason to deny the invitation to the show.

The call for the show came so fast for Shilpa that she had to drop her plans of Christmas and is presently in some undisclosed place in UK.

Shilpa is adjusting with the Big Brother’s house, striking friendship with the mates and trying to break the notions of the West of Indian’s not being very bright.

The show kicked off on January 1 and spends 25 days at Big Brother’s house. She is the sole Indian at the show.

Shilpa Shetty is trying hard to be a favourite of voters as their polls can save her from being eliminated.

On her second day, she was attempting to teach the relaxing qualities of Om to her housemates Carole Malone, journalist and Ken Russell, film-maker. She was teaching them how to chant ‘om’.

Just when they had begun the exercise Ken’s coughing broke the meditation and Carole started to blame the doomed session. In fact, this started when Shetty was teaching Carole the relaxation techniques and Ken got inquisitive and joined the session.

Soon Shilpa offered some advice to her new-found students, ‘You`re not breathing right. We`re so occupied with life and the stuff we have to do that we don`t breathe.’

Shilpa said she was Hollywood’s answer to Angelina Jolie. The house-mates as well as British newspapers don’t quite agree with that although.

The British tabloids The Sun and its rival The Mirror have taken this opportunity and did pictures on her, one showing flattering publicity pictures and other showing a groggy-looking Shilpa.

She is trying hard to woo the British audience but seems to have not faired well. There are speculations that soon she will be asked to perform a belly-dance on the show with former beauty queen Danielle Lloyd and the celebrities are also said to be strapped to special monitors to determine who is the most sexually frustrated of all.
