Click to play videoNew Delhi: After much ado, actress Shilpa Shetty won the British reality game show Celebrity Big Brother. And sympathy vote or not, the actress walks away from the show as a multi-millionaire but Shilpa's agent is already a bit upset about being given the cold shoulder.
Former agent of Shilpa, Bobby Khan, was fired by the actress’s mother while she was still in the Big Brother house.
It was Bobby who introduced Shilpa to the Big Brother concept and its producers Endemol. So, not surprisingly, he is not making much of Shilpa’s success.
“She has made it big only in UK but not in India. She will be the same as she has been over the years. Yes, the media has hyped the issue but I am sorry to say that I don't think any ‘A’ Grade producer will sign her up,” Khan said.
In January, Shilpa agreed to be cooped up in the pressure cooker called the Big Brother house and after nearly a month she emerged winner by a margin of 67 per cent.
And by the end of the show, she rosily reaffirmed her love for her colour, country and race.
“I am very proud to be an Indian and am very proud of my colour. I just want to say that if you carry yourself with dignity and with kindness in your heart you can never go wrong,” Shilpa says.
Shilpa's latest role as a reality TV star is nothing short of a box office hit. She has earned around Rs 4 crore from her stint in the show and apart from the numerous endorsements lined up, there's also talk about a book deal and a Hollywood movie.
But for viewers it’s obviously not hard to forgive and forget her run-ins with housemate Jade Goody because after all had Jade not made Shilpa cry, the audience wouldn't have sympathised with her.
“It may have seemed that it was bad but I can say that Jade is not a bad person and she really did not contrive to behave like that. There is nothing in my heart. The day we hugged it was all forgiven,” Shilpa explained.
In the months ahead, Shilpa has at least two films lined up for release, Anil Sharma's Apne opposite Sunny Deol and Anurag Basu's Metro.
