“You cant tolerate it in a telivision show. Its equivalent to condoning and indirectly encouraging such behavior”. Wrong!

To be honest I couldn’t care where the persons creed, colour, culture, etc, etc. To me, there are good people, bad people, and people in the middle.

To watch Jade, Danielle, and Jo go at Shilpa is simply laughable. Who the hell in their right mind would want to emulate any of these three? I have a 7 year old daughter who saw these three highly “infoo-inf-enshal” girls go at Shilpa and even she told me that is wrong, they’re not very nice.

What annoys me most with cross culture disagreements is the “is it because i’m ******* (insert your own colour, etc here)” (and its variants) one liner which is used far to often in todays society. This I believe is more damaging to to ones colour, race, etc than television

OK First of all - the show is a reality show, which as Anand says is pre-planned to some extent, but not fully; as is the case with most reality shows, otherwise where’s the fun? However, some of the behavior is pre-decided. That explains the hostility.

But Anand’s comment on taking life less seriously is remarkably stupid. The point which the blogger made in this post is against racism and not the hostility. What the participants indulged in was ’subtle and ‘controlled’ racism. This is something, which, even if it advised by the show to garner publicity is something which cannot be supported. Just because it proves that the prejudices which people talk about not existing in the developed countries, DO Exist, and exist in substantial proportions.

I have no interest on commenting on Shilpa’s lack of a suitable retort to the bullying and racism, because that’s not my intention; but I would like to just appreciate the author’s effort in this case because it’s well-meant. Racism exists in different forms in different countries. In India it exists in the form of girls wanting to be fairer than their friends to get a good husband, and men advertising for fair and homely wives in the matrimonials. The class-system still exists in the remote hinterland, let’s not deny it. What this show has unknowingly done is expose the fact that all countries are prejudiced in some way or the other, and the quicker they introspect and find the reason for that, the better.

WIMP ! simple answer them back !!!! there is nuthing bigger than self respect!
If u dont do that then no one wud give u a damn ! SIMPLE as that.

Being quite proves u DUMB and not “high”. So if shez smart she did fight back rather than leaving the issue unfinished.

Neha, before the Goodies came in things weren’t really bad in the house. Shilpa was getting along with everyone. She did mingle a fair bit with the people there. Carole Malone has said that they became friends and will meet after the show is over. Here is a clip from earlier episode which shows Shilpa having fun with the housemates.

The problem started with the introduction of the Goodies. All of them were extremely ignorant. Jackie and Jack’s behavior seemed to be racist on several occasions.

I am upset because an Indian is being treated badly, it doesn’t matter if she is a celebrity or not. Heck, I would be upset if any human being was subjected to racism and prejudice.

Thankfully, there are a lot of sensible people in Britain who realised what was going on inside the house was wrong and raised their voice. According to NDTV the matter was also raised by an NRI (Keith Vaz)in the British Parliament.

N another thing, she dint even migle wid those ppl be4….she stood out instead. Fair enuf if u support her now but shez got a mouth to answer back too rite? cant she?

anyways the show got what it wanted. One bollywood actress in big brother n whole of india(almost) and rest of we indo folks round this planet turn our attention to this show. Very good business strategy !:)

But yes, I’m clueless.

As many of you may already know, Indian film actress Shilpa Shetty is currently living in the Big Brother (UK) house. She has reportedly been paid a whopping sum of money by channel 4 to participate in the reality show. I started watching this series o…

Almost all of it is made up. I know you can watch the streaming feeds live, but that does not discount the fact that the characters can be ‘told’ to do so. After all, unless there is infighting/groupism, will such a reality show run? Let me guess. No.

However, if you’re posting this just to get hits, then you will get a lot of them.
