Shilpa steals Ash’s thunder

Shilpa steals Ash's thunder

Fans ignored Aishwarya and Abhishek and rushed to meet Shilpa Shetty at the IIFA green carpet Back to Section Stories Posted On Monday, June 25, 2007

Sandipan Dalal A recently concluded IIFA (International Indian Film Awards) ceremony at West Yorkshire continues to have its repercussions. 'It' girl Shilpa Shetty, the winner of Celebrity Big Brother is at the centre of attention yet again. This time around for her unceremonious entry on the awards night when Abhishek and Aishwarya were strolling down the green carpet (these are environmentally friendly awards). Obviously, fans from Pontefract, Bradford and Dewsbury screamed at the top of their voices and rushed to greet Shilpa (thanks to her newfound popularity in the UK), and the newly wed Bachchan couple has to walk in almost unnoticed. This didn't go down well with Aishwarya who normally doesn't have to try too hard to get attention from fans and the media. Ash-Abhi Ever since, former Miss World Aishwarya has taken a dislike to Shilpa. Close friends of Ash inform that the pretty bahu is still reeling under the unpleasant episode. Says our source, "Ash was not expecting to be overlooked by her fans at the event. Contrary to the home turf, where Ash enjoys unprecedented popularity, Shilpa continues to be the biggest Bollywood star in the UK post- Celebrity Big Brother." If that was not enough, when Amitabh Bachchan, who is the brand ambassador of the awards ceremony, was presented a Yorkshire suit at the opening day, fans had complained saying that Shilpa, who was standing at one corner holding a bouquet of Yorkshire roses, deserved it more than him. According to industry buzz, Shilpa is aware of the awkward situation and is ready to hand out an olive branch if anybody is ready to listen to her. Says a source close to Shilpa, "Shilpa had no intentions of hogging all the limelight at the event. It's just that she is extremely popular among the locals there."

I totally agree with you. I really admire Shilpa for the way she handled herself on Big Brother, and I don't blame others for admiring her too. Not many people could've handled the situation like Shilpa and I am glad she is being noticed.

hahaha great.

its about time that ppl stop hyping the Bachchans so much and see other and better celebs in the industry.

I second that. Shilpa's success has come after years so she deserves to soak up her time in the limelight. She conducted herself with such dignity and poise during BB and i admire her for that. Most celebs are adored for the work that they do but she is respected for her personality.
