Shilpa Shetty won the Big Brother competition. Since she's been living in the house in isolation, she has only now learned of the controversy and attention that resulted from her experiences with racism on the show. What a mind-fuck that must be.
Interestingly, another contestant on the show seems to have escaped such controversial treatment. Jermaine Jackson, older brother of Michael and Janet, was also on the show, and came in second to Shilpa. He's converted to Islam and has renamed himself Muhammad Abdul Aziz. He lives in Dubai and is married to an Afghan woman. Apparently he was a paanch-waqt namaazi on the show. I wonder why he didn't become the target of the racists instead of (or in addition to) Shilpa Shetty. I suppose we should count our blessings.
