Controversy
and
fame
always
go
together.
Interestingly,
controversy
is
a
necessary
evil
for
celebrities
because
it
gives
good
publicity.
With
fame,
crisis
too
have
entered
Indian
actress
Shilpa
Shetty's
life
but
her
popularity
has
soared
like
never
before.
In
fact,
her
fragrance
has
filled
the
whole
of
England
and
beyond.
Firstly,
she
won
the
sympathy
of
the
people
of
England
following
racist
slur
on
her
by
one
of
the
contestants
of
Celebrity
Big
Brother
contest
and
she
eventual
came
out
winner.
She
then
hit
the
headline
by
kissing
actor
Richard
Gere
at
an
AIDS
awareness
programme.
Now,
the
rumours
of
her
relationship
with
film
producer
and
businessman
Raj
Kundra
have
reached
far
and
wide.
Very
much
like
rumours,
her
fragrance
is
also
spreading
fast.
The
actress
launched
her
signature
perfume
S2
less
than
a
month
ago
in
the
UK.
Now,
it
has
emerged
one
of
the
bestsellers
amongst
500
perfumes
in
the
country,
including
signature
perfumes
of
Kylie
Minogue,
Sarah
Jessica
Parker,
Jennifer
Lopez,
Gwen
Stefani,
Paris
Hilton
and
others.
S2
was
at
No.3
on
the
fragrance
charts
a
week
ago.
Experts
believe
that
various
controversies
surrounding
the
actress
must
have
boosted
the
sales
of
the
perfume.
