Here is an excerpt from this coming Sunday’s Show of Koffee With Karan. Do tune in on Star One/ Star World at 9.00 pm on 3rd June to catch the entire interview of the Shetty sisters.

Karan: Ok, how does it feel to be on the show… I know I am giving too much importance to myself by asking you this question, but how does it feel?

Shilpa: It feels weird

Karan: Weird? That’s a first… why would you feel weird?

Shilpa: Its feels weird because you know we have known each other as friends and you can get away with a lot… but, I really don’t know… the feelings are mixed …

Karan: But, it’s such a sweet innocent, almost like harmless show… So, why should you feel weird?

Shilpa: Am I still on Koffee with Karan?… (laughs)

Karan: What was the worst thing Jade Goody said to you…

Shilpa: I think behind my back… most of the things were said… that’s the reason, it created the furor it did… it became this whole international incident … I think we as a race … Indians, are pretty tolerant… we tend to forgive and forget more easily… and that’s exactly what I did… I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and even after those fights I just wanted to move on… because I was like, this is just a show and I am going to go back home and honestly Karan, I took up the show because, I didn’t think I would last that long … I told Anurag, I left Metro and I told him, listen this is a great opportunity, they have told an Indian to be on the show, Main jaaongi, bahut saara paise bhi de rahe hain, aur mujhe kya karna hain.. I just have to be myself… So, I am just going to have a good time and come back… and I said keep the shoot after two weeks, I will be out in 2 weeks … (laughs)

Karan: (laughs) So you never thought that you would ever ever win?

Shilpa: Not in my life … it was a dream …

Karan: What about Jade Goody… had you heard of her?

Shilpa: No, I hadn’t heard of her

Karan: Neither have I

Shilpa: Ya … people in the UK know her …

Karan: Have you been in touch with her… have you had any kind of interaction with her?

Shilpa: No …

Karan: Not at all

Shilpa: No… not as yet

Karan: But, tell me, how did it feel when Shilpa went through all if this… you back home… you and dad… and mum

Shamita: When we were not in touch with her?

Karan: Ya … because you know, she didn’t know what was happening in there? But, all of you did?

Shamita: None of us knew what was happening… in fact, when the press wanted us to comment… we actually kept away from the press for some time … because we didn’t want to make any comments till we saw actually what was happening …

Karan: Were you at all disturbed when everything was happening inside the house… there was so much being said

Sunanda: I think she is a very brave child and she did handle the entire situation with a lot of dignity… I was happy that she could walk out whenever she wanted to … since she stuck around … we knew she was in a position to cope…
