London
(ANI):
Bollywood
bombshell
Shilpa
Shetty
has
revealed
that
she
is
quite
shocked
at
Jade
Goody's
decision
to
participate
in
India's
Big
Brother,
but
is
happy
at
the
same
time,
for
she'll
get
a
chance
to
show
her
ex-rival
how
welcoming
Indians
are.
In
last
year's
Celebrity
Big
Brother,
the
33-year-old
actress
was
labelled
'Shilpa
Poppadom'
by
Goody.
Goody,
who
also
criticized
eventual
winner
Shetty's
cooking
during
the
show,
was
branded
a
racist
and
Indians
burnt
effigies
of
her
in
the
streets.
Now,
mum-of-two
Goody
has
decided
to
enter
Indian
BB
house
this
weekend
in
a
bid
to
clear
her
name.
The
27-year-old
will
also
pocket
a
100,000-pound
fee.
"When
I
found
out
Jade
was
going
on
Big
Brother
India
I
was
as
shocked
as
when
I
first
met
her.
Why
go
through
this
again," The
Sun
quoted
show
host
Shetty,
as
saying.
"But
part
of
me
was
really
happy
because
it
is
an
opportunity
to
show
how
welcoming
we
are.
"She's
going
in
as
someone
who
has
had
misconceptions
about
our
country.
I
hope
Jade
learns
first
hand
about
our
culture
and
how
wonderful
our
people
are,"
she
added.
