Shilpa emerges winner - shocked anyone?

Shilpa owes this Celebrity Big Brother first place and an extra £100,000 (the prize money) to Jade and her big mouth.

Giver her some cake!
I have read and heard many places that things that await Shilpa after CBB5 is now over:
1) £100,000 pounds that she got, not to mention the £350,000 she got for participating in Big Brother.
2) A Hollywood film by Fox pictures
3) A book deal, endorsements for clothes, cosmetics and jewellery.
4) A television documentary
5) Hosting a cricket reality show and an awards ceremony.
6) £100,000 for an exclusive interview to the tabloid Sun.

What does it take?
The cynicism doesn't stop at Bollywood, if there is no need to kiss your a$$.

"Her film career is certainly not looking up just because she has been in the news",

says Komal Nahta, a Hindi film analyst. I've seen this guy on TV, he's an okay film critic...loving the usual and hating the different.

Some other Film critic nut, Indu Mirani, didn't find protest and burning of effigies ample enough. She thought had there been a more bigger star there would have been more protests. Yes, thats what Indian needs more protests...!!!

The biggest thing Shilpa had going for prior to Big Brother..people knew her in India or Indian in general wherever they were. You can't say that for everyone with Filmdom running through their veins like say Fardeen Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sanjay Kapoor, or even Akshaye Khanna (to a certain extent). For someone that doesn't come from a filmy backround or has been a Miss something or other, she managed to do very well with getting roles and endorsements.

If you were to put someone from the A-list, they would've managed so well..like Kajol, Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta, Priyanki Chopra, or Aish. Bottom line, you have to be likeable or eventually become likeable, and that is a hard trait.

Those that say

"Big Brother has no influence or control on Bollywood"

, well I can only say that there was a time when a British television caused so much uproar that it was shown on ABC News in the U.S., and talked about by the World. Also, someone (Shilpa) who wasn't even well known outside of India, was #2 on the Yahoo! Most searched and became the winner of CBB5 capturing 67% of the votes. Thats a lot of votes to win by. I think Shilpa will have the last laugh.
