Shilpa Shetty, who has had her taste of racist flak while she was a contestant on the British reality show Bigg Brother, expressed her reaction on the racist remarks against Miss America Nina Davuluri.
Shilpa told TOI, "Nina has won the crown because of her intelligence and beauty. Every person belongs to the country they are born and brought up in. She belongs to America. I bet you, she'll say the same. My husband believes he is British as he was born and brought up in the UK"
"The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go," she added.
