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.
Big Boss 2 - Synopsis episode 2
The episode begins with the welcome dinner that was provided by Bigg Boss. Then they start pairing up for example Sanjay Nirupam & Rakhi Tondon…Jade Goody & Payal Rohatgi.
It's time for contestants to inform Bigg Boss about 2 housemates that they would like to put up for nominations, however just before they could do that Bigg Boss announces that we would like to showcase our hospitality to our first ever international celebrity – Jade Goddy, hence the housemates cannot nominate Jade Goody and her partner this week.
The next day begins with breakfast worries and per nominations stress for week one…Raja Chaudhary and Sanjay Nirupam were announced as the two nominated for evictions by the housemates.
Further in the episode Jade Goody learns the bollywood style dancing from Sambhavna Seth as they perform to the hit number ' Mehooba Mehooba', Ehsan Quershi croons the song for them.
The Bigg Boss gives them a task for day 1 that is to be handcuffed with their partners. The Bigg Boss has instructed all the house mates to converse in Hindi the only exception being Payal and Jade Goody. Payal has been instructed to teach Jade Hindi. Where she teaches Jade how to say hr name in hindi.
Everyone comes up and takes upon themselves the various tasks, like cooking, cleaning, washing etc…Rahul says that I can't cook so I will take the task of keeping the toilets clean. He takes a broom and starts cleaning the bath room.
While all the house mates are sitting and talking, Jade comes running in the living room, saying there is some crisis in the bathroom and the water tap is broken. Rahul tries to fix the crisis.

Goody was thrown out of Big Brother show in Britain last year after she was shown bullying Shetty. The 27-year-old mom of two was also labelled a racist and her effigies were burnt in the streets in India.
In fact, Shetty was branded "Shilpa Poppadom" by Goody in last year's Big Brother show. However, she went into the Indian 'Big Brother' home this weekend "to clear her name and prove to people that she's not a racist".
But, Shetty was quoted by leading British tabloid The Sun as saying: "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?
"But part of me was really happy as 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."
As many as 12 celebrities are expected to take part in the show which may last upto three months.

Having won the international show, what would she advice the participants ?"Just be yourselves," is her mantra to success. Staying in the house reveals a different facet to your personality according to Shilpa and ultimately it is that person whom the audience finds entertaining or interesting who emerges the winner. As to how the participants should equip themselves, materially and spiritually while entering the house, the actress suggests that to maintain a calm they should practice yoga. No, she is not trying to sell her yoga DVDs here but, "it genuinely helps your peace of mind," she avers. Since books are not allowed inside, she feels it will help, if the contestants carry pictures of loved ones. "In three days, it starts sinking into you, that you are away from your family and are on your own. You start missing them and the photos help," she says. For women, her advice is carry a lip balm, mascara, kajal and eye cream. "I don't like to be seen without make-up, so I used to even get out of the bed with these huge glasses," she smiles.
What prompts people to subject themselves to such depravation - The contestants are completely cut-off from the world. There are no phones, newspapers, televisions or music systems inside the house. "People who either want to become famous overnight or have nothing to hide from the world are the ones willing to get locked in the house," says Shilpa clarifying that it was the latter that urged her to be a part of Celebrity.. . So, is she in touch with any of her housemates? "I was in touch with a few people like Jackson but now their numbers have changed," she smiles. However, the person she remembers most from the house is, no, not Jade Goody, but Davina McCall. "I used to wait eagerly to hear her nice, warm voice everyday because after a point you get bored with the others in the house," quips Shilpa. And that's the role, she will be playing in season II of Bigg Boss. "I will be like an agony aunt. And because I have already been there and done that, I will be able to empathise bettter with the housemates. I aim to be entertaining with a human touch," she says.
To a query on who is the one person she would like to see locked in the house, Shilpa who has danced to the popular UP Bihar number promptly says Laloo Prasad Yadav. "He has a very good sense of humour and I respect him," she justifies. And would she go into the house if she was approached again? "Never, the first time I didn't know what I was getting into. I was the odd one out and it was very difficult," she reminisces. What about sister Shamita? "No," stressses Shilpa.
So what prompted her to host the show? "One, I am familiar with the format and two I couldn't refuse the offer that was made to me," she says flashing her pearly whites.
http://www.screenindia.com/news/I-will-never-be-a-part-of-Celebrity-Big-Brother-again/347933/Goody received the news on Tuesday and is flying back to London for treatment, The Sun, UK has reported. She had undergone hospital tests earlier this month after she collapsed four times, it is said.
"But she decided to get into Bigg Boss to try to make amends after being accused of racism on last years Celebrity Big Brother," the report states.
Bigg Boss, Season II, is being hosted by Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, who was allegedly racially abused by Goody in the 2007 series of Big Brother in UK.
Jade, from Upshire, Essex, was tested for bowel cancer in 2006 and ovarian cancer in 2004, but was given all-clear both times.
http://www.screenindia.com/news/Jade-Goody-diagnosed-with-cancer-leaves-Bigg-Boss/350672/
Shilpa Shetty, hostess of the TV show "Bigg Boss", said she was shocked to hear that British reality TV star Jade Goody,had been diagnosed with cancer. "It is unbelievable how life is so unpredictable and finds a way to distract and derail you from your plans. My prayers are with Jade, her family in this hour, when they face one of the biggest tests of their life, in times ahead.
"I pray she comes out of this soon, and stronger. Hope that she is going back with happy memories from this country," Shilpa said in a statement released Tuesday on behalf of Endemol India, the production house of the show.
Goody, who was accused of racist slur against Shilpa in British reality show "Celebrity Big Brother" in 2007, made an entry into the "Bigg Boss" house Sunday night along with 13 Indian participants. Pleasant and sans the attitude that we saw on Big Brother, Goody in fact received a nickname - "Guddi" - from the other inmates.
27, and a mother of two, is currently in London undergoing treatment for cervical cancer.
Said Deepak Dhar, country head of Endemol India: "We are shocked to hear this unfortunate news. Jade has been very brave in the face of such a difficult situation and we are extending all possible support that she requires at this stage. Our prayers are with her."
Added Rajesh Kamat, CEO of Colors channel, on which the show is aired: "It is indeed an unfortunate development and we extend full support to Jade in this testing time. Jade is a strong-willed woman who has emerged victorious from many battles. We sincerely hope that she wins this time as well."
Before entering the house, she said: "I have to pay my bills. And if I do face cancer, I need to make sure I can support the boys." She even offered to go back on the show after surgery. Jade wanted to make amends for alleged racist jibes at Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity BB in 2007.
According to a report by thesun.co.uk, the scenes when the news was broken to Goody were not aired at the time and will also not be broadcast in India in the next episode. However, there was speculation over whether the footage will be aired in Britain.
Shilpa, "I never in my wildest nightmare expected to meet Jade Goody again And on top of that, Jade had changed her appearance completely During Big Brother she had short black hair Now she has long blonde hairI just couldn't recognize this scared shaking woman as the same person who had taken me on for ten days, hitting out at me with pointedly with a statement like, GO BACK TO YOUR SLUMS
" says Shilpa, a tad bit uncomfortably about her dredging up the past and running into Goody in such peculiar and ironical circumstances.
A warm Shilpa Shetty added, "Our situation was completely different this time While I was a free bird hosting the show, she was an inmate among a group of my fellow-Indians who I feared might be hostile to her because of how she had behaved with me. To my relief the famed Indian warmth and hospitality came out and no one made Jade feel unwanted. I personally feel no malice towards Jade at all.
I am not magnanimous, but I forgive her for her behavior. And in this hour of need, I sympathize her. I don't think she meant to insult our country and culture. But in trying to hit out at me, she ended up making statements that offended Indians and Asians all over the world."
Goodbye bonhomie and welcome the insults and slurs which have started playing peek a boo in the Bigg Boss house. Post the Jade Goody hugs and kisses, it was a lull before the storm set in. And the storm brewed from the camp of Sanjay Nirupam.
Sanjay Nirupam, who is currently in the hot contender for eviction is falling back on insults and slurs. Probably the pressure of not knowing what is in store has him on the edge. And, the cutting edge surfaced when he was reading Rahul's palms and made a statement, " If it was not for his father he would have been a zero."
A visibly upset Rahul immediately vacated the scene. Later on, he was bitching about Sanjay to Zulfi Sayed and Ashutosh Kaushik.
/>
Rahul wasn't the only one to feel the sting of his words. Bigg Boss 2 contestant Sambhavna Seth was very upset after Sanjay Nirupam insults and degrades her. The flamboyant diva insists on talking to the Bigg Boss team. After the talk, the curious housemates, with nothing really better to do ask her what happened inside, to which she replies, "Bigg Boss said there is someone in the house who likes me, but is not saying. I have to find out who that is."
Then she hints that it is Raja, Ashutosh or Zulfi, and everyone starts guessing who it could be…
And whilst insults and slurs and match making plots are being hatched, Mahajan junior has a ace up his sleeve to ace up the TRP's. When Payal requests Bigg Boss if they can get the swimming pool cleaned up so they all can swim…to that effect Rahul says Bigg Boss to please clean up the swimming pool so we can get these girls wearing bikinis and the TRP's will go high because of that…
The happy man in the household was Debojit who is granted his wish of an electrical Tanpura, which we are not too sure if Debojit should actually get. A musician's life is his music. We saw shades of restlessness and as Goody called it, "craziness" when Debojit did his riyaaz sans the instrument. Was this the first milestone to Debojit's downfall? Will the Tanpura save him and help him retain his sanity?

The recent episode Sanjay Nirupam, who is a participant in the 'Bigg Boss' reality show along with controversial starlet Monica Bedi and others, had declared he would help the actor in purchasing a house in Mumbai. 'When we get out of this show, I will get you a house in Lokhandwala where all the Bollywood people stay or anywhere else you want,' Nirupam stated during the episode aired Wednesday night. He vowed to do so when gangster Abu Salem's companion Monica spoke about her dire need for money to buy a house in India's financial capital.
Sanjay Nirupam, handpicked by Bal Thackeray in 1996 to represent the party in the Rajya Sabha and propagate the party view point in the Parliament, he resigned from the Shiv Sena in March 2005 and joined the Congress party a month later. His resignation was seen a result of long standing rivalry and hostilities with the late Pramod Mahajan.
As the countdown to the second season of reality show Bigg Boss began, one surprise name that came out in the open was Sanjay Nirupam, the former MP who has signed up for the reality show which leaves nothing to imagination once cameras start rolling.
But this week's eviction name had Sanjay Nirupam's name on it. Sanjay and Raja Chaudhry's name were looming large, but Raja escaped by marginal votes. The nascent slurs and insults on the housemates had just about starting to surface with Sanjay Nirupam calling junior Mahajan a zero...
With the politician out of the race, the atmosphere at the Bigg Boss household is tense. Junior Mahajan did see a threat to his position with Sanjay around. 'Politicians are wily creatures...' it takes nerves of steel to become one!
Sanjay remained unavailable for comment.

Actor and former housemate of Bigg Boss season one, Rakhi Sawant shares her view about the show and Bigg Boss' house.
"Bigg Boss' rules can break one's back. No one's an actor or a politician in this house, everyone is treated like the common man. And one gets to know what is real life," she says.
Bigg Boss 2 debuted with a TRP of 1.5 on Sunday night which is impressive for Colors, a channel which is hardly a month old.
With 32 cameras in one house monitoring 14 housemates, 24x7 ' the international format is still going strong and Bigg Boss Season 2 in India clearly grabbed headlines for its controversial housemates.
It all started with Shilpa Shetty being announced as the host for the show. Shetty made international news as a participant in the UK's Celebrity Big Brother and walked away with the prize money.
But what really made heads turn was the inclusion of Shetty's Celebrity Big Brother rival Jade Goody as a participant on Bigg Boss 2.
However, the biggest twist came on Tuesday morning when news leaked that Jade Goody had been diagnosed with cancer and would have to leave the Big Boss' house to return to London. Even this new development was lapped up by the media ' doing well for the show's popularity.
"Everybody is worried about Jade Goody's cancer. Millions of Indians are praying for her swift recovery and are hence watching the show. It's a godsend for the show, but I would say they've got the big bang for the small buck," says media critic, Anil Thakraney.
The show has gained immense popularity and the audience is hooked on the drama.
"It's an excellent show and a good way to make people interact with each other," says a viewer. "This time the house and its environment is better than the last season," adds another. "It's a very interesting and entertaining show, I watch it religiously from 10 to 11 in the night," says one.
With all the publicity and controversies, the question is with the initial push, can the show sustain itself for three months? Will there be an interesting replacement for Jade Goody? And will the show put Colors among the top players the General Entertainment Channels? Only time will tell.

When Sambhavana and Alina are cooking, Rahul Mahajan comes in and says, "I think we all should buy this house." Sambhavana replies, "I woke up last night and could hear voices. Then I realised you guys might be up, but then I saw everyone in the house was sleeping'I could still hear voices. I guess there's a bhoot in the house but they will not be able to see the bhoot on camera'. Rahul said, "Haan TV par bhoot nahi dikhata."
The third task: Paper Dance
Raja has to make pairs of a girl and a boy, and they have to dance on the paper with their respective partners'. Raja is supposed to be the judge, but Sanjay Nirupam refuses to do the task and requests everyone including Bigg Boss that he can't do something like that. Bigg Boss agrees and tells Raja to interchange their roles'.
The pairs are as follows'
Sambhavana with Zulfi
Alina with Debojit
Monica with Rahul
Payal with Ahsaan
Ketki with Ashutosh
Rakhi with Raja.
Payal and Ahsaan are the first pair who fail to do the task, while Rakhi and Raja are the winners.
Bigg Boss 2 gives the first warning to Rahul Mahajan: If Rahul instigates the housemates to revolt against the rules and forces them to remove their mikes for not getting cigarettes, he will be automatically nominated for eviction.
Rahul wants housemates in a bikini
But the guy seems to have taken to the format of the show pretty well. Unlike other housemates who are constantly whining and complaining, Rahul has brought a touch of goofiness to the show. How audiences react is something only the future episodes will reveal.
Rahul fixes the bathroom
From day one Rahul's been trying to project himself as the smooth operator of the house trying to be a hit with the ladies. When the girls were quarreling about the toilets, Rahul did some timely firefighting. And he volunteered to fix the loos after giving a graphic description of his actions which nearly brought the house down. Rahul was also extra friendly towards Jade Goody.
On day two Rahul went into overdrive cracking joke after joke. Quite strange considering Ahsaan Qureshi is a pro at stand up comedy - Who by the way didn't look too amused with Rahul's humour. Rahul's body language is relaxed and he is very comfortable with the hidden camera.
WATCH: Rahul talks to the camera
On day three the actor within Rahul wakes up. For some reason he starts talking to the CCTV camera about how the show is getting high TRPs. Later he tries a solo act of sorts going on talking endlessly with the hidden camera. On day four Rahul has brought his father's angle into the plot as Sanjay Nirupam reads Rahul's hand and talks about his influence in Rahul's life.
Rahul keeps the housemates entertained
So, there it is. From emotion to comedy, Rahul's doing it all and looks all set to become the star of the show. What's he going to do next?

Payal was asked to partner the first international participant on the show, Jade Goody. She was given the task of teaching Jade how to speak Hindi. Payal had to be with Jade for the next 100 hours in the Bigg Boss 2 house.
However, Payal's task was cut short with Jade's departure. The news came as an unpleasant surprise to Payal. Even before she could get to know her, she lost a good friend in Jade. Nonetheless, she prays for Jade's speedy recovery and hopes to meet her again once out of the house.
Payal's forthcoming film this year is Dil Kabaddi with Irrfan Khan, Rahul Bose and Soha Ali Khan.

Bigg Boss gets Debojit's electrical tanpura but asks calls Ashutosh to give it to him. Ashu is also informed that the housemates will get their food supply on Wednesdays.
Payal Rohatgi requests Bigg Boss if they can get the swimming pool cleaned up so they all can swim'and Rahul Mahajan in his style says, "Bigg Boss please clean up the swimming pool, so we can get these girls to wear bikinis and the TRPs will go high'!"
Bigg Boss announces the basic rules that the housemates have to follow. For instance:
Waking up when the alarm rings, completing the tasks allotted, not discussing nominations, speaking only in Hindi, and keeping in mind that the store room is open only for 15 minutes and hot water is there only for one hour after the alarm.
Later, Sanjay Nirupam becomes a palmist and starts reading Rahul's hands, telling him that if it were not for his father Pramod Mahajan, he would have been a zero. Rahul, Zulfi and Ashutosh start a discussion on this comment by the politician.
The second task by Bigg Boss: Housemates have to sit together and answer a list of questions (given below) in three minutes:
From where have you come? / Where do you belong to?
What is the most important moment of your life?
One thing that changed your life
Reason for being in Bigg Boss 2
Why do you want to win the prize money?
After this, it's an open forum, where the housemates ask questions to each other, but only till the time the alarm rings.

When we get out of this show, I will get you a house in Lokhandwala where all the Bollywood people stay or anywhere else you want," Nirupam stated during the episode aired Wednesday night.
He vowed to do so when gangster Abu Salem's companion Monica spoke about her dire need for money to buy a house in India's financial capital. She also shared her ordeal in dealing with people in Mumbai, who are wary of her due to her proximity with Salem. She said, "The prize is very important. It holds a lot of meaning for me. People think Monica Bedi has a lot of money. But it is not so. I need this money to buy a home. Nobody gives me a house on rent also because people are scared of me.
"I am here to change the image that the media has made in the public about me. I want them to know the real Monica. I am not as bad as people think I am. And I want to do it more for my parents more than for myself," Monica added.The actor burst into tears and added: "I am grateful to Bigg Boss 2 for letting me be on this show, through which I can reveal my real self."
Nirupam and Monica, along with 11 others, are competing for the Rs 750,000 the winner will receive after spending three months closeted in a house sans any communication with the outside world.

Reality television has moved on from rooting for the underdog through SMS votes to riding high on voyeurism.While the audience is entertained by the incessant bickering between participants or even the on-air bonding, show producers are rubbing their hands with glee for all its worth. However, one can't forget the case of 16-year-old Shinjini Sengupta - the girl who suffered a paralytic attack after being allegedly humiliated on a reality dance show.
Cases like Shinjini's are a reality check on this growing obsession with the circus of reality television.While reality shows are entertaining, one can't overlook the fact that the shows are about real people and can get carried away at times.

Farah Khan and Pooja Bedi in Bigg BossJade Goody, left the house of Bigg Boss on the night of August 18. Goody?s decision was preceded by a call from her doctor in London, who wanted her to come back urgently following the detection of cervical cancer.
Her exit from the show means someone else?s entry, and one possibility is that rising star Sherlyn Chopra may replace Jade on the show. Sherlyn asked for a sum of Rs 3 crore for an appearance of three months, and also made some other outrageous demands.
The identity of the new entrant has been kept under wraps, there is no truth in the second story that choreographer-director Farah Khan will substitute Jade. However, Farah is going to be on the show for a day.
Pooja Bedi is on the verge of signing a contract with ?Bigg Boss 2?. According to sources,Bedi ain?t replacing Goody, but will get into a critic mode and will be analysing performances of the participants.
