Shetty is the host of the programme, known as Bigg Boss. <br \/>A spokeswoman for makers Endemol said the identity of contestants was never confirmed or denied at this stage. <br \/>But Goody, who became something of a national villain in India following her Celebrity Big Brother appearance, arrived in the Indian capital, Delhi, on Friday. <br \/>Last week, speaking in an interview ahead of the show, Shetty said her advice to housemates was \u201cjust be yourself\u201d. <br \/>\u201cBecause I\u2019ve been there, done that, I\u2019ll be able to relate to the housemates in a more empathetic way because I can imagine what they\u2019re going through at that point in time,\u201d she said. <br \/>Last year\u2019s British show attracted 45,000 complaints to media regulator Ofcom over the alleged bullying of Shetty by Jade Goody and fellow contestants, model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O\u2019Meara. <\/p>\n<p>Cooking comment <br \/>In a report on the series, Ofcom ruled that, on three occasions, broadcaster Channel 4 had had failed to appropriately handle material. <br \/>It said one was where Goody referred to Shetty as \u201cShilpa Poppadom\u201d.  <br \/>Another was when Lloyd told Shetty, using foul language, that she should return to India. <br \/>The third was when Lloyd and O\u2019Meara were seen making offensive comments about Indian cooking. <br \/>Gordon Brown &#8211; then Chancellor of the Exchequer &#8211; became involved in the row while on a visit to India during the show\u2019s run. <br \/>Mr Brown said the issue had been raised repeatedly during his trip, adding that Britain should be \u201cseen as a country of fairness and tolerance\u201d. <br \/>It also led to a protest in the eastern Indian city of Patna which saw the burning of an effigy. <br \/>But after Shetty eventually won the show, she insisted that Goody \u201cdidn\u2019t mean to be racist\u201d. <br \/>Endemol, meanwhile said it \u201csincerely regretted the level of offence caused by events in this series\u201d. <br \/>When she left the house, Goody said her behaviour had been \u201cnasty\u201d and added: \u201cI\u2019m not racist but i can see why it has had the impact it\u2019s had.\u201d <br \/>A month after leaving the house, she visited India and told Indians: \u201cI am sorry for the hurt and pain that my actions caused.\u201d <br \/>Shilpa, meanwhile, became a household name in the UK after the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goody visited Delhi after the row to apologise to the Indian community Jade Goody has arrived in Mumbai to take part in the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother.
