Shilpa
Shetty's
hit
international
musical
Miss
Bollywood
set
against
the
backdrop
of
London
preparing
for
the
2012
Olympics
has
already
made
big
news.
The
2008
Olympics
would
be
taking
place
in
Beijing
and
Hong
Kong.
Then
what
is
it
that
made
Shilpa
have
such
strong
reference
to
the
UK
Olympics
that
will
take
place
almost
four
and
half
years
from
now?
The
latest
buzz
is
that,
there
is
more
than
what
meets
the
eye
in
Shilpa's
clever
use
of
the
Olympics
backdrop
in
her
musical.
Insiders
claim
that
the
backdrop
of
the
2012
Olympics
is
used
not
just
for
the
heck
of
it.
It
is
a
clever
move
on
the
part
of
the
diva
to
be
able
to
perform
in
the
2012
Olympic
Games
which
will
be
held
in
the
UK.
Reveals
a
source,
"Thanks
to
Big
Brother,
the
actress
has
already
become
an
icon
in
the
UK.
If
everything
works
well
for
her,
this
is
the
target
she
wants
to
achieve-perform
live
at
the
Olympics.Looking
at
the
current
status,
it
is
likely
they
will
not
refuse
her.
And
till
the
shows
of
Ms
Bollywood
which
tells
the
story
of
a
choreographer
trying
to
make
her
mark,
having
such
a
strong
reference
to
the
games
are
on,
it
will
only
keep
giving
the
right
people
the
right
ideas."
If
things
go
in
favour
of
Shilpa,
she
will
be
the
first
Indian
artiste
to
perform
at
the
Olympics
and
it
will
be
a
big
achievement.
It's
been
seen
that
mostly
local
talent
is
hired
to
make
an
appearance
at
the
closing
and
opening
ceremonies
of
the
Olympics.
At
the
Sydney
Olympics
in
2000,
Australian
stars
Kylie
Minogue,
Elle
Macpherson
and
Nikki
Webster
had
their
presence
felt
while
at
the
Athens
Olympics
in
2004
Greek
singers
Marinella
,
Alkistis
Protopsalti,
Anna
Vissi
and
Eleftheria
Arvanitaki
performed.
And
having
become
a
household
name
in
the
UK
post
Celebrity
Big
Brother
last
year,
Shilpa
stands
a
fairly
good
chance.
And
if
it
works
out
it
will
not
only
bolster
her
international
fame
and
popularity
but
also
help
her
to
earn
the
mega
bucks.
She
won
CBB
in
2007
and
with
5
years
to
work
on
the
plan
and
make
all
the
right
moves,
she
can
milk
it
pretty
well.
And
the
writers
also
won't
need
to
rewrite
the
Miss
Bollywood
script
for
a
while,
till
the
year
2012
What
does
Shilpa
have
to
say
about
this
clever
ploy?
"Its
too
early
predict
Shilpa's
presence
in
the
Olympics," said
her
publicist
Dale
Bhagwagar.
"But
what
she
has
achieved
with
Miss
Bollywood
in
Germany,
Belgium,
Netherlands
and
the
United
Kingdom
is
phenomenal.
She
is
the
first
Indian
to
be
showered
with
so
much
love
by
each
and
every
Britisher,"
he
added.
The
only
hitch
could
be
that
people
have
a
short
memory.
A
lot
of
things
change
in
such
a
long
period
of
time.
What
if
Shilpa's
popularity
goes
down
in
the
next
couple
of
years?
Even
if
that
happens,
looks
like
Shilpa
would
prefer
to
give
it
the
best
shot.
