Shilpa Shetty hosts ‘Bigg Boss,' India's take on the British reality Television Show
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was to host India's take on the British reality TV show ‘Celebrity Big Brother', which she unexpectedly won last year.
Shetty won the British show after allegations she had been racially abused.
She said she had never been tempted to enter India's version.
"I could never do it myself again, because I've done it once and it was really hard," the 33year-old actress told Reuters on August 7.
But as the host on India's ‘Bigg Boss', Shetty said relating to contestants was easier because she had gone through the experience herself.
"When I heard the concept, and the fact that I only needed to come in for one elimination round every week, I said OK," she said. "Plus they made me an offer I couldn't refuse."
‘Bigg Boss', which was to start on August 17, was first telecast in India in November 2006 with Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi as host.
