Former UK Big Brother star Jade Goody lost her year long tragic battle with cervical cancer Sunday March 22. She was only 27 years old. Jade Goody was most known for her antics on the show 'Big Brother' and the racist remarks she supposedly made about Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. They managed to make up after the show and in a further gesture of apology, Goody made an appearance on the Indian version of the show called 'Big Boss.' Shilpa Shetty managed to travel to England almost a week ago to say one last good-bye to her friend.
The figure remained somewhat controversial up until her death. Jade Goody reportedly sold many pictures and interviews to magazines for money which many thought was in bad taste. According to Shilpa Shetty's ex-publicist Dale Bhagwagar, however, he felt "Her aim was to earn as much money as she could in the short span that she was going to live, even if it meant selling her interviews and pictures to the media. This she did to ensure that her two sons lived a comfortable life. Even Britain’s prime minister, James Gordon Brown, praised her for battling the cancer and caring for her children, even while she was in such a bad state." Although there were many reasons for people to not like Jade Goody, this wasn't one of them as it secured a future for her children.
Upon finding out that Jade Goody had passed, Shilpa Shetty said of her friend "I am deeply saddened by the news, but in hindsight glad that she is out of pain and passed away peacefully in her sleep. Words cannot express how I feel, but my heartfelt condolences to the family."
Jade Goody is survived by her two sons, Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4. Her dying wish was to be baptised and to have her sons christened with her because, she said, “I need to be sure that when I’m gone, my kids have a way of being close to me.”
Desi Hits! also sends their condolences to Jade Goody's family especially her husband and children who survive her. May she finally find peace. If you'd like to send your condolences to Jade Goody's family, feel free to do so below.
