What now for Shilpa Shetty? Tony gives his thoughts
After 26 days in the Big Brother house, Bollywood’s most under-rated actress Shilpa Shetty, has unanimously been voted as the winner of the contest.
On the 3rd of January 11 ‘celebrities’ went into the house-cum-studio, and another 3 joined them 2 days later. The list consisted of pop-star has-beens, yesteryear actors, a former Big Brother contestant, and a disgraced beauty Queen.
Shilpa Shetty was a complete unknown, and many pundits predicted an early eviction for her, but she answered them all by winning with a magnanimous 63% of the vote.
This week’s Ask Tony is dedicated to Shilpa Shetty.

NO DOUBT SHILPA WON BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT POLITICS. IS TONY WATCHING THE SAME SHOW THAT THE WHOLE OF UK WAS! CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG BUT SADLY EVERYTIME SHILPA’S NAME WAS MENTIONED IN THE FINAL THEIR WERE MORE BOOS THAN CHEERS. THIS MUST BE A FIRST WHERE A WINNER GOT BOOED MORE THAN CHEERED! SHILPA WINNING WAS NOT A SUPRISE TO THE PUBLIC, IF SHE DIDNT WIN THEN UK WOULD HAVE BEEN BRANDED A RACIST COUNTRY. IT WAS SYMPATHY VOTES, IF IT WASNT FOR THE RACE ROW SADLY NOBODY WOULD HAVE NOTICED HER.
Shilpa has certainly managed to “act” superbly in BB to win the admiration of the British public. I don’t think there were many sympathy votes as such to contribute to her success.If you remember she repeatedly said to her housemates that “it was a game.” And what a super player she was to win the game. Let us see if Aishwarya or Sharukh can get in to the next BB (UK version) and win it? I think she should leave the filmworld and enter politics!!
Tony, my friend: Thank you, thank you for the best article I have seen about Shilpa/Big Brother. She really is a wonderful actress, so endearing, so eloquent. Unfettered from the nonsensical Bollywood genre, given good scripts and direction, who knows how high she will fly? God, please let her come West. Las Vegas, Hollywood, Broadway: just bring her over! Thanks again.
