The Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty was last night voted the winner of Celebrity Big Brother. The 31-year-old Indian actress was the firm favorite to win the contest, considered the most controversial in the show’s history after she became the victim of alleged racist bullying by fellow contestant Jade Goody.

This was the Indian beauty had to say after winning the Celebrity Big Brother contest.

“I can’t believe it. I don’t want to sound clichéd but it’s truly been quite a rollercoaster…the highs, the lows, and each one has taught me so much.”

When asked about Jade Goody and the racist comments, Shilpa Shetty said ” I can say one thing for sure. Jade didn’t mean to be racist. She isn’t a racist. I really don’t want to leave England putting anyone in trouble. This country has given me so much.”I just want to thank all of Great Britain for giving me this fantastic opportunity to make my country proud.”

She really did make India proud of her. Well done Shilpa.

On the other hand, in the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother, and the much popular show now, The Bigg Boss, Rahul Roy emerged as its surprise winner. Ravi Kissen’s eviction, out of the final three i.e. Rahul, Ravi and Carol, came as a surprise for all as he was the hot favorite contestant to win.

The night surely belonged to Rahul Roy. Bigg Boss has done those miracles for Rahul Roy, which he could not even achieve after 17 years of struggle in the industry. However most importantly we should not forget the prize money of Rs 5 million. Congratulation to Rahul Roy.!!!

Well done Rahul Roy. You deserved every bit of it. Party Hard!!!!

Congratulations to Shilpa Shetty and Rahul Roy!! You both made India proud of you.

Hearty Congratulations from DesiBaba
