Jade and I were connected in a strange way

A page from the personal diary of Shilpa Shetty In London for some work and my first priority wanting to meet Jade, which is why I pre-poned my visit. I always felt she and I were connected in a strange way. I believe she was a catalyst and the architect of my fame in Britain. I feel terrible for what she had to go through after the show, and I screamed my lungs hoarse to save the situation but in vain. Anyways, life brought us together again through Bigg Boss and that’s where we met and spoke after two years. It was then that our friendship truly blossomed. I really discovered a new Jade compared to the one I saw in Big Brother. I admired her spirit and the way she coped with her illness, I spoke to her a few days prior to her wedding, she sounded very happy, sadly I couldn’t make it. Thought I’d meet her when I went there, but then I heard about her deteriorating health and I rushed down hoping to see her. Little did I realise that it will be the last time I’ll be meeting her. Apparently, only Jade’s immediate family members are allowed to meet her. This experience has made me realise - Life’s too short to hold any grudges. All the arguments are so futile when you see the larger picture. I am happy in a way I haven’t got to see her, it would’ve depressed me no end. I always want to remember her smiling, the feisty strong gregarious Jade, a true Trooper! It’s a helpless feeling, as long as she knows I’m here, (which I don’t think she’s aware, because she is unconscious, heavily drugged as the pain is excruciating - Max Clifford told me. Max is her publicist as well as mine. I feel even worse because maybe I could’ve met her if I was here two days earlier. Anyway in the current scenario, I totally understand what the family must be going through and I respect their privacy and hope she and her family is able to cope with this inexplicable pain. It just makes me hold on to my near and dear ones and value them even more, because life’s so unpredictable. This is the dance of life. Enjoy every moment of the dance, because you never know when the music will stop. You are in my prayers Jade. You are destiny’s child!
