LONDON (AP) - Indian actress Shilpa Shetty won the British reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother" Sunday, after enduring alleged racial bullying that triggered protests in India and sparked a race relations debate in Britain.

The 31-year-old Indian star won the public's support after a fellow contestant hurled racially tinged insults at her in an episode that led to a record 40,000 complaints to media regulators about the program.

"It's truly been a roller coaster ride," Shetty said. "The highs, the lows, each one has taught me so much."

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Treasury chief Gordon Brown and Indian Finance Minister P. Chidambaram have commented on the incident, which South Asian and anti-racist groups said revealed the face of racism in Britain.
