Media is making big news about Shilpa Shetty. She is abused on Big Brother reality show and Bollywood is protesting against Channel 4.
Channel 4 and TV regulator Ofcom have had more than 21,000 complaints about treatment of Shetty. Other contestants have made fun of the A-list Bollywood actress’s name, her eating habits and her Indian background. She was called a “dog”. In Indian society educated people don’t use word “dog” for women.
However according to the BBC news, Channel 4 has denied claims that Celebrity Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty has suffered racist bullying.
There had been a “cultural and class clash” between three other housemates and the Indian star, the channel said.
According to Shetty’s mother, Sunanda – “Her daughter was tough and she would be able to handle the situation.“.
I haven’t seen the show so I can’t comment more here. Or is it a publicity stunt? What do you think?
I think the controversy had been generated to ensure more publicity for the show and nothing else!

Shilpa Shetty’s attitude has shown the soft cornered sensitiveness of the great indians.
Oh. My God. How Shilpa Shetty is?
