Is Shilpa Shetty incident going to sound the death knell for the “Big Brother”? Well, thats quite a thing for the Bollywood babe!
The racism controversy involving Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty seems to have dealt a death knell to British television Channel 4’s reality show Celebrity Big Brother, with the board of Channel 4 convening on Monday to discuss a possible termination of the seven-year-old reality TV programme.
According to London’s Sunday Times, if the board decides to pull down the curtains on the show, it may come as early as this week after the present series ends.
In such an event, the show will see its death in Britain at a time when it has become a roaring success with millions of TV viewers elsewhere with TV channels in as many as 20 countries, including India, having copied the format to make millions of dollars in reality TV business.
