Re: - Latest News From CBB5 After the show is over -
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."
