Shilpa admits, "Raj and I met the Reverend in London at a dinner organised by British MP Keith Vaz. Though we were there for a very short time we shared a very enlightening conversation.
He's a very revered person in USA (especially, Chicago) and has several followers all over the world. It was interesting to share and exchange views."
Discussing racismShilpa discussed racism amongst other topics with him, "The Reverend had heard about what happened to me during Big Brother and was sympathetic.
He is also into Yoga and since I have brought out a DVD on yoga, we talked about that too." Shilpa wore a Donna Karan outfit for the dinner.
