Shilpa Shetty: 'Jade is destiny's child'

Shilpa Shetty has said that she was sad to have missed Jade Goody's wedding and added that the reality TV star is in her prayers.

The Bollywood actress wrote on her website that she brought forward her visit to London to visit Goody but was unable to after her health deteriorated.

Shetty said: "Little did I know that the last time I spoke to her would actually be the last time.

"[I] am happy in a way I haven't got to see her, it would've depressed me no end. I always want to remember her smiling, the feisty strong gregarious Jade, a true trooper!

"This is the dance of life. Enjoy every moment of the dance, 'cause you never know when the music will stop. You are in my prayers Jade. You are destiny's child!"

She added that she "discovered a new Jade" when the pair met again on Big Boss two years after their falling out on Celebrity Big Brother, and that she admired her spirit and how she coped with her illness.
