Doctorate degree awarded to Shilpa Shetty

Recently doctorate degree was awarded to Shilpa Shetty (Bollywood Actress) bu UK university. I do not know the basis for the university's decision. Let us hear from DM members.

Just to clarify - she did not go to school in UK. This degree is honorary degree. Why there is a need to award doctorate degree? not fare for those hard working students who work day and night to achieve the doctorate degree

JBJ, One doesn't need to go to school to get honorary doctorate. It is awarded to people when they excel in a field. The criteria is decided by the commitee.
