Shilpa welcomes Jade to BB India

UPDATE: Jade Goody quits Bigg Boss house

UPDATE: Jade’s time in the Bigg Boss end came to an end after she was informed in the diary room that she had been diagnosed with cancer. She announced “I have cancer” to the housemates upon leaving the diary room before leaving the house to return to the UK.

The two housemates at the centre of the infamous Celebrity Big Brother UK race row have come face to face in public for the first time since the controversial 2007 series.

Jade Goody has moved in to the “Bigg Boss” house in India, which is now hosted by Shilpa Shetty – the victim of Jade Goody’s alleged racist bullying which hit headlines around the world.

At the end of a very Bollywood launch show, which featured several performances from the new housemates before they entered, Shilpa invited the audience to welcome Jade “with the warmth which is our true Indian tradition”.

Jade introduced herself by saying what happened with Shilpa is “in the past” and that she’s “not proud of it”. She claims to have “changed for the better” and is here “to prove it to you guys”, asking “how bad can I be?” considering she is an “entrepreneur” and “mother” , before adding she is determined to “win everybody’s hearts”.

Shilpa welcomed her in Hindi, the language spoken in the house, and talks about her entering the house for the third time. Shilpa tells Jade that she hopes perceptions of her in India will change, before advising her to use the “magical hug” if she ever has an issue with everyone and “saluting her spirit”.

The other housemates are:

Ketaki Dave (TV actress)
Zulfi Syed (Actor and model)
Rakhee Tandon (TV actress famous for her portrayal as Sweety in Hum Paanch)
Rahul Mahajan (Son of late politician Pramod Mahajan)
Monica Bedi (ex film actress and wife of underworld don Abu Salem)
Raja Chaudhri (TV actor)
Sambhavana Seth (Item girl and film actress)
Ahsaan Qureshi (Stand up comedian)
Payal Rohatgi (Item girl)
Debojit Saha (Singer)
Ashutosh Kaushik (winner of MTV Roadies season 5)
Elina Vadia (A non celebrity)
Sanjay Nirupam (A congress politician)

So Jade now has 13 Indian names to get her tongue around – what could possibly go wrong!
