Poetic justice for Shilpa Shetty?

Shilpa Shetty is very angry with the media. According to her, the Indian media has blown the Richard Gere kissing episode out of proportion. In her opinion, the media should have acted responsibly and not given so much attention to frivolous issues like this. Shilpa! Are you saying this? You of all people? You are the one who benefited most from the media hype surrounding racism in Big Brother. We all know that racism is much worse than some snide comments by Jade Goody. This was a game show. People will get nasty. And Indians are perhaps much worse when it comes to sarcastic remarks. What with all the lingo surrounding people who hail from North-east India? But since Shilps stood to benefit from all the hype regarding a helpless Indian being targeted for her skin colour, she added fuel to fire. Please note that Shilpa professed close friendship with Jade Goody after the show was over. It was nothing personal, just business. I don't deny that racism exists in Europe. It does. But that's a different issue. Here, Shilpa was never the champion of the fight against racism. She's back in India and I am sure that if a software engineer writes to her that he's being persecuted in Germany, Ms. Shilpa probably won't even reply. Just as all Miss Indias don't become Mother Teresas.
Shilpa should know that media presence is a double-edged sword. Only people like Mallika Sherawat and Rakhi Sawant can dare to wield it. Perhaps because the more they bleed, the stronger they get. I suggest Shilpa invests her crores wisely and retreats silently into the backstage. She's much better at item numbers than answering mediapersons.
