Britain's Home Secretary John Reid said: "We are all pretty pleased that Shilpa won it, not least, quite apart from Shilpa herself, the fact that I think the nation breathed a sigh of relief because it was showing the world that we are not all like we were portrayed some weeks ago.
"It is a vote for tolerance and I think it will be widely welcomed not just here but probably throughout the world." Among the comments made in the house two weeks ago that kicked up an international storm, Shetty was called a "dog" and "Shilpa Poppadom" and asked whether she lives in a shack, prompting protesters in India to burn effigies of the show's producers.
The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling tabloid, declared on its front page that "Shilpa's changed the UK", saying that "the Indian actress looks set to become the nation's sweetheart after she dealt with racism and bullying with good grace and humour."
Shilpa Says "I did not do this to boost my career," Shilpa said to The Calcutta Talegraph, "I came to represent my country and do it well and with dignity. I would not tolerate anything that would impinge on my dignity and I am glad all of India united to support me. All the Indians here, as well as Pakistanis and Bangladeshis - the Asian community - are supporting me, so after hearing this I am very, very happy."
Even though Shilpa reacted quite sensitively to allegedly racist remarks, the actress was quite outspoken when it came to her own national integrity. "I am an Indian, I feel very proud to be an Indian and I have tried to keep the name of my country high with pride and I hope I succeeded.

CELEBRITY Big Bruv winner Shilpa Shetty yesterday admitted the bullying she suffered on the show WAS racist.
She confessed to The Sun: “It did hurt — I’m only human.” But the Bollywood beauty thanked the British people for their overwhelming support during her ordeal.
Shilpa, 31, suffered jibes from Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O’Meara that sparked worldwide outrage.
She said yesterday: “I saw the footage for the first time and it looked pretty ghastly.”
After the Oxo cube row Shilpa had insisted that the bullying was racist. She told The Sun: “I know at that point of time I perceived it as racist — and I’m not trying to make any statements to retract from what I said.”
However, she insisted Jade was “not a bad person.” She claimed her comments “stemmed out of her insecurities”. And she praised Britain as a tolerant nation.
When told the race row sparked 46,000 complaints, Shilpa said: “I just take it as a huge compliment.
“I would like to thank the people of Britain for supporting me, for knowing what side to be on and sticking by me.”
And she told fellow Asians: “Just be proud for who you are, what you are. You don’t have to be a celebrity to stand up for your rights, to carry yourself with dignity.”

A BIG Brother executive claimed Shilpa Shetty was called a “Paki” on the show in a note that reads: “Some dodgy clips DO exist. We are f***ed.”
The evidence — seen by The Sun — was scrawled on the back of a production running order for spin-off show Big Brother’s Little Brother.
An anonymous tipster went to cops with it and was quizzed for 90 minutes.
It alleges that Celebrity BB winner Shilpa was called a “f***ing Paki” in one incident.
And it tells how a song was sung, with the words: “This house used to be happy, until that f***ing —”.
Jade Goody was said to be present when it was sung.
