Shilpa Shetty has claimed that Jade Goody learnt important lessons after being accused of racism on Celebrity Big Brother.

The Bollywood actress admitted that the controversy had also helped bring sensitive issues to the foreground.

"It's been a learning curve for all the viewers watching Big Brother how it's important to think before you speak, how feelings are important," she told Richard & Judy's New Position.

"I really believe that Jade also learnt from that whole episode."

Shetty added that the pair were eventually able to put their differences behind them when Goody appeared on Big Boss in India.

"We didn't get the chance to bury the hatchet, we kind of moved on with our lives," she said.

"Then again, her coming back into my life two years later, and we being able to become friends and putting that into the past, is again something that was karma and was meant to happen, it was destiny.

"I'm so glad that happened as I'd never have been able to forgive myself."
