An internet search in Shilpa Shetty's name reveals her widespread presence in global media. Over the last ten months, the actress has been featured in Indian, American, British, Scottish, African, French, Australian, Pakistani, Spanish, Californian, Singaporean, Afghani, Bangladeshi, New Zealand, Arabic, Irish, Danish, Indonesian, Mexican, Malaysian, Dutch, Vietnamese, Mauritian, Iranian, Italian, Canadian, Russian and German media, spanning six continents (Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America) of the world.

"Though Shilpa is popular as 'the best bod in Bollywood', internationally she is most known to be the 'Indian beauty with brains'. The way she managed herself in 'Celebrity Big Brother' made her one of the most-admired icons in United Kingdom. Now, the resounding success of her West End musical 'Miss Bollywood' touring Europe, has turned her from actress to diva," said Shilpa's publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

"Throughout this year, she's been one of the most talked-about personalities all over the globe. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Shilpa Shetty has now become the most recognized Indian name in the world. Branding 'Brand Shilpa' has been my pleasure," he added.
