Challenges ahead

SHILPA SHETTY roped in for Big Brother, the British reality show

IN HER ELEMENT The show is the best thing that has happened to Shilpa Shetty

The British reality show, Big Brother, has grabbed headlines for the last couple of months after Endemol produced Bigg Boss for desi TV viewers. However, the attention has now shifted back on to the original show thanks to our own Shilpa Shetty.

Last seen in the forgettable Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar, the svelte actress will now be part of the show. And in the process, she becomes the first Indian actress to be invited for the show, which is said to be bolder and more intrusive than Bigg Boss.

Shilpa has reportedly been offered Rs. 3 crore for the reality show. As a stipulation, she will stay in the Big Brother house for 25 days and will be off-limits to the media for a month. She can do no promotion for herself.

The show seems to be the best thing to have happened to Shilpa in a while. Apart for Shaadi Karke... , her other recent films have fallen flat at the box office. Khamosh, Fareb came and went, without a trace. Here is hoping Big Brother brings her back big time in the public eye.
