The reality of being Shilpa Shetty
In an irony of sorts, it's the small screen that has catapulted Shilpa Shetty to the big league, making her a global icon overnight. Riding high on a wave of sympathy following housemate Jade Goody's racist jibes at her, Shilpa won the hearts of voters for her "dignity and magnanimity" and emerged the winner of the UK reality TV show Big Brother. The high-profile victory is nothing short of an instant visa to international shores for the glamorous actress�a Hollywood film, a book deal, endorsements for clothes, jewelry and cosmetics, a television documentary, a string of assignments, including anchoring a cricket tournament and awards ceremony, and $ 100,000 for an exclusive interview to The Sun�Shilpa has all this and more in her kitty. Also on her agenda is a meeting with the Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair.
