Summary:BOLLYWOOD actor Shilpa Shetty was forgiving and gracious yesterday after shrugging off racist bullying to win Britain's Celebrity Big Brother. Her comments may come too late to save the careers of Goody, as well as two other former housemates -- model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O'Meara -- who have been vilified in newspapers following their comments about Shetty. The A-list Indian star was called a "dog" on the program. Some housemates refused to learn her name, referred to her as "the Indian" and "Pappadum", and Lloyd said: "She should f--- off home. She can't even speak English." Asked about her behaviour, Lloyd, who emerged earlier from the television set, said: "I feel terrible . . . I never thought we were being racist."
