| No More Participation In Reality Shows, says Shilpa |
| Friday, February 02, 2007 |
Indian cinestar Shilpa Shetty, winner of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' which has catapulted her to global fame and an offer for doing a musical for British composer Lord Andrew Lloy Webber, has vowed not to take part in a reality TV show again.
"No way. I was shocked by the lack of respect, the burping, farting, drinking and swearing. Great Britain is where Shakespeare was from -- it's known for its culture and high tea but I didn't see any of that, apart from Cleo," 31-year-old Shilpa told Daily Mirror.
Dismissing complaints that she was superior and controlling in the show, Shilpa said: "I was never controlling -- I just wanted to go with the flow. There was never a time when I said: you have to do it my way."
"When Jade said I was spending too much time in the kitchen, I took a back seat. I like to defuse trouble."
Shilpa has been bombarded with offers from companies such as Tesco and the Indian tourist Board. She has also been approached about writing a book, has dozens of film and TV offers and Andrew Lloyd Webber is said to be keen for her to star in a musical.
She would like to unwind and have some sleep, Shilpa said adding, "all the creative decisions are taken by me and the financial ones by my mother. I don't even know how much I make, I'm so blast about money.
"I'd love to do a cookery show called, 'If Shilpa Can, Anyone Can'. With a mischievous grin she said: "Or maybe I should do an advert for chicken Oxo cubes."
Shilpa said she planned to stay here for some more time as her visa has been extended. It has come as a disappointment for her biggest fan -- and biggest critic -- her proud sister Shamita.
Shamita, who is also an actress, turns 28 tomorrow and hoped Shilpa would be back in Mumbai to help her celebrate.
Shilpa smiled as she said: "My sister told me, 'you have never won any awards for your films -- but you won the biggest award when you were playing yourself."Labels: shetty, shilpa |
