London, Mar 27: Indian actress Shilpa Shetty has credited late Jade Goody with making her a star in Britain.
The Bollywood stunner and the TV celebrity appeared on Big Brother in 2007, where Goody sparked thousands of complaints from viewers for her allegedly racist abuse of Shetty.
"She was the architect of my fame, and I give her the credit for that," The Telegraph quoted Shetty, as saying during an interview on Richard and Judy.
Goody passed away on Sunday after a highly publicised battle with cervical cancer. She was 27.
