'Not important enough' The reaction in India to the alleged racism controversy on Big Brother has been muted.
 Reaction in India has been muted, bar minor protests |
People spoke out against racism and expressed their sympathy and support for Shilpa Shetty - but it went no further. Film critic Indu Mirani said this could be because she was considered just not important enough. "If it was one of our top actresses or a male super star, people would have been out in the streets protesting in whatever manner they could. Obviously, Shilpa Shetty was not," she said. Ms Mirani said the actress had never made it to the top five heroines list at any stage in her career. "She is a good-looking girl, decent actress and worked with some big names in the business such as actors Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. But her career never really took off. "She never did anything wrong - but never really did anything right either," she added. The 31-year-old was first noticed in 1993 when she starred in a supporting actress role opposite super star Shah Rukh Khan in the hit film
Baazigar (Player). She then went on to play lead roles in films such as
Main Khiladi Tu Anari (
Me Player, You Buffoon) and
Dhadkan (Heartbeat), most of which were moderate successes but never really runaway hits.
'B-grade' Later, she got tremendous recognition for her portrayal of an HIV sufferer in the 2004 film Phir Milenge (Will Meet Again), which also starred top actors Salman Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
