Shilpa Shetty faced racism inside the house of Big Brother

Big Brother is a UK reality show similar to India’s Bigg Boss. She was repeatedly targeted for her dark colour on the show and many contestants called her “Ugly Duckling.” But the Dhadkan actress stood to the task and emerged a winner of the show surprising many.

Shilpa can speak multiple languages

The mother tongue of Shilpa is Telugu. Apart from that she can also speak Tamil, Hindi, English, Gujarati, French, and Marathi.

Fitness expert and yoga practitioner

The Bollywood actress was fond of sports right from her childhood and participated in all types of sports activities when she was in school. She was the captain of the school’s basketball team and also played volleyball very well. Known for her expertise in fitness and yoga, Shilpa has many YouTube videos and a book to her name where she discusses the benefits of eating right and doing exercises regularly.

She is the co-author of “The Great Indian Diet” book with Luke Coutinho which discusses how nutrition can be obtained by eating fruits and vegetables produced locally.

Shilpa is a fabulous dancer

While her acting career may not have given her the identity she aspired for, it is her dancing that has always attracted appreciation for her. Be it her “Kitabe bahut si” from debut movie Baazigar, “churake dil mera” with Akshay Kumar, or “Main ayi hoon UP Bihar lutane”, most of her songs are big hits and that is why she is also a popular judge on dance reality shows.
