Shilpa Shetty has won the UK reality TV show Big Brother as her other housemates were evicted from the show by people's vote.
The show's popularity suddenly jumped world wide last week.
Tens of thousands of viewers complained that Shilpa Shetty was subjected to racial bullying. In its wake, the show's viewership shot up by over five million.
After her eviction, Danielle Lloyd accepted that she said the things in the heat of the moment and that she was not laughing at Shilpa.
"Since Jade went I got on with Shilpa. Shilpa told me not to follow the crowd. I think she will be understanding," Danielle added.But that controversy appears to have helped Shetty. She was the bookies' favourite to win Big Brother.
The winner of the reality show is the person who survives, the person who is not voted out by viewers.
"I found it a lot easy to make friends while participating in the Big Brother Show," said Shilpa Shetty, actor.
High on popularity
An overwhelming majority of the viewers voted Goody out rather than Shetty. But Goody emerged from the studio to see herself a celebrity of sorts and demonised by some.
"I am scared about going to the end of the show. I am in two minds because of the stuff that has happened to my house. I am justified in being really scared and nervous but I guess I will go to accept all the boos that I have not got before," Jade Goody, Contestant, Celebrity Big Brother.
Shilpa Shetty's mother Sunanda, sensing the star's ascending popularity, has hired UK's biggest publicist to cash in.
Shetty, who wasn't really top of the charts in Bollywood, is now globally sought after --- interviews, a cricket reality show, advertisements and who knows, even a Hollywood deal.
