Jade is not that goodie!

Oh our poor Shilpa Shetty suffered miserably thanks to a certain Jade Goody. The gal with the blonde mop of hair unleashed her verbal fury at our very own desi girl. Shilpa used the racism card very astutely and the entire nation stood by her side, by that we mean The Great Britain! Reactions in India were unprecedented too. Shilpa Shetty was captured shedding tears as she silently suffered inside the controversially colorful house of the show. In the end, Shilpa got the votes and became a star in India. Jade, who was suffering from cancer, apologized profusely later but the harm was done.

The infamous bubble bath! 

When you get a bunch of zany celebs to get together in their booty butt naked avatar to enjoy a bathtub session together, you get a perfect dose of adult drama. That's what happened on the show. The bunch of firangi were seen soaping (each other) gossiping and even making love in broad day light! That was too much to handle for our desi folks as they went through a lot before recovering from the ultimate culture shock!

If that was not enough for you to be spooked, here's our list of 3 mini shockers that sent shivers down our desi spine!
