The Indian beauty was branded a 'dog' by disgraced former Miss Great Britain Danielle. Over 200 complaints were recieved from viewers of Big Brother UK that Bollywood star Shilpa is the victim of racist bullying.
The Indian beauty was branded a "dog" by disgraced former Miss Great Britain Danielle who blamed Shilpa for Carole's eviction on Friday night.
Both Danielle and Jo have imitated Shilpa's Indian accent, while Jade's evicted mum Jackiey dubbed her "The Indian" and refused to learn how to pronounce her name.
Some fans have been upset by what they believe is racist behaviour and have been voicing their concerns on internet forums.
Some comments Shilpa has faces from her house mates who keep pronouncing her name wrong:
"I asked for smoked mackerel and what's-her-name, Shullup, just looked at me like I was stupid," grumbled Lloyd.
Jack Tweedy has also been bitching about Shilpa with his girlfriend Jade, and he has allegedly made a racist remark against Shilpa, calling her “you bloody Paki”.‘Paki’ is a derogatory term mostly used by the whites in UK and Canada to insult a South Asian.
Although the television channel airing the programme is said to have muted the word with a beep sound, but the movement of Jack’s lips reveal what he said.
Shilpa was reportedly shocked at hearing the comment but she did not respond. Apparently, she deems Jacks remark not worth responding, and very rightly so.
A Big Brother insider said if producers thought there was abuse, bullying or racism going on, they would take a very serious view.
But anti-racism campaigners are demanding BB bosses take action if it is proved Shilpa has been the victim of racially-motivated abuse.
