Cant really believe that people are still discussing this on the forum, dont you ll have anything better to do. I mean, Seriously, common, its quite obvious that this appears to be a publicity stunt. Both the concerned people have now stated that the issue is not of 'racial' motive. Honestly, not many people in Asia watch Big brother, the main reason Shilpa was brought into it is so that BB can get a hold of a market there. However, people arent gonna just watch rubbish like this, unless some controversy hits the headlines and sparks conflict to get the public's attention. All of which channel 4 and BB seem to have achieved by now.
Common ppl, get a life, a lot of progressive things can be done in the time wasted discussing this utter bullsh*t
Oh believe me, Shilpa is not one of the very famous actors in Bollywood. As long as you pay people they would do anything you want, I m sure you could get a bunch of chavs from the street, pay them to act like jackasses burning shit and they probably would do it. You could then be played on the news in another country over and over again and they would not think of them as very civilised or forward thinking either.
