"Shilpa is not interested in being ’used’ as a PR tool, to Jade Goody," he said. "It’s obvious she’s here for media mileage."

Journalist Amit Sharma told the tabloid: "We see it as a damage limitation exercise. Many here have been infuriated by it."
Jade visit sparks chaos - Mar 1 2007
Jade’s latest attempt to try and win over the Indian people apparently backfired when women and children were trampled in the crush during a photoshoot.
The 25-year-old paid a visit to the Railway Project in the Mayapouri district of Delhi - the organisation supports street children who are often forced to scavenge for a living beside the railway tracks.
The embattled Celebrity Big Brother star stayed inside the small hut for 45 minutes but, according to the Sun, no provision was made for around 50 children who were left outside in the 30C heat.
A crush soon formed and the paper reports that Mum Anu, 26, who was knocked to the ground with her three-month-old baby, said: "My baby is hurt - who is this awful person? She is not welcome here if she is going to behave like this."
Tens of thousands of Channel 4 viewers protested over Jade’s apparent racial bullying of fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.
But the reality star denies her four-day trip to
"I am not giving the money to improve my image. It is to improve the lives of the underprivileged children," she told reporters at a news conference yesterday, after promising to donate all her Big Brother winnings to charity.
Jade donates £25,000 to Indian runaways - Feb 28 2007
Jade Goody has donated £25,000 to an Indian charity that cares for children who run away from their homes.
The disgraced reality TV star’s donation came during an image-rebuilding visit to the country after the fallout from the Celebrity Big Brother bullying row.
Jade spent nearly 90 minutes with some of the children at the Anubhav - or Experience - charity in the Indian capital.
"I am not giving the money to improve my image. It is to improve the lives of the underprivileged children," she told reporters.
Shilpa Shetty won the TV reality contest after Jade outraged the public and sparked allegations of racism over her treatment of the Bollywood beauty.

"This was not a publicity stunt. Nobody knew I was coming out here," she said, adding that she paid for the trip herself.
She said she would not visit Mumbai to meet Shilpa.

Jade caused a tabloid frenzy the minute she walked into the BB house with her idiotic questions and unbelievable lack of common sense. She asked if East Anglia was near Tunisia and if Cambridge was in London, she took her clothes off to reveal her ’kebab’, administered the infamous PJ BJ and got a minging verruca.
The tabloids branded her a fat pig and she bitched about all of her fellow housemates openly but somehow she made it through to the final four and gained thousands of fans along the way. When Jade left the house, she was interviewed on any and every chat show in the country, appeared on the cover of Heat five times (she was even their biggest selling cover star) and even had a Channel 4 follow up documentary, What Jade Did Next, made about her in the weeks following her eviction.
Having dropped three dress sizes in matter of months, the Bermondsey girl made one of the most successful exercise videos ever, even beating skinny Geri Halliwell’s yoga workout effort to the top DVD chart spot. In the meantime Jade fell in love with Jeff Brazier, Shipwrecked’s Essex wide boy and became pregnant with her first son, Bobby. Jeff and Jade have been on an off ever since, but have recently opened a tanning salon and beauty parlour together following Jade’s qualification as a beauty therapist.
Jade Goody remains a reality TV show legend most recently appearing in Celebrity Wife Swap with Millionaire cheat Major Charles Ingram while heavily pregnant and hormonal and Back To Reality, Five’s flop Big Brother rip off in which Jade showed the nation she hadn’t learnt anything new, asking James Hewitt if he’d been ’sworded’ and if wood pigeons were like ferrets.
