Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty returns home

Mumbai, Feb 10 (UNI) Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty returned here today from the UK after winning the controversial television reality show 'Big Brother' where she was allegedly subjected to racial abuse by her housemates that created furore around the world.

Shilpa's spokesman and publicist Dale Bhagwagar said the actor, who was away in London for a month now, was missing Mumbai a lot.

The spokesperson added, ''Shilpa is enjoying her post-reality show life in UK, but has also been homesick from the last couple of days. She will now be doing a balancing act between Bollywood and the West. 'Big Brother' hasn't changed her. Instead, its taught her how important it is to be dignified in any situation.'' Soon after her arrival, Shilpa headed to Siddhivinayak temple in Prabhadevi to offer prayers.

After winning the Big Brother show, Shilpa visited the House of Commons and interacted with Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Bhagwagar refused to divulge any details of Shilpa's future plans.
