Racism or not,what Shilpa did for India was to give a thorough makeover.Those who thought India as the land of suppressed and uneducated women might have got a glimpse of the truth that exist here.Those who thought Bollywood and its followers are plain dumb(well,most of it still is)might have been surprised by the elegance showed by a '2nd tier' actress. On the whole it has been good for India.What Shilpa gains from it personally is her thing,there is no point in complaining this and that.Instead of showing off jeaousy,let us appreciate what she has done for India's image.

I totally agree with you.. I have myself seen the change in notion towards indian people from my verrry racist colleagues. They couldnt stop wondering how come an indian actress had such ettiquettes, language learning and class when there own business women, beuty queens didnt have that. The most funny thing they asked me was "Do you have educated ppl in bollywood?". I asked them wat did they feel after seeing shilpa also conveying that she is not a very successful actress? I should say they were amazed..
