Shilpa Shetty returns to India

Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty has returned to India after spending some time in Europe following the show's conclusion.

Despite the alleged racism that she experienced inside the house from fellow housemates such as Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara, Shetty spent over two weeks in Britain after emerging victorious from the house.

However, she explained that her sudden decision to travel back to India was fuelled largely by homesickness.

She told ITN, "I feel great, I was missing India and it was just an impromptu decision last night that I wanted to come back, because I was missing my dad and my sister."

Shetty visited the Siddhivinayak temple to pray upon her arrival to her home in Mumbai.
