Shilpa invites MJ's brother for dinner

Shilpa Shetty might have faced some difficult times in Celebrity Big Brother house, but the actress decided to reminisce some happy memories with her Big Brother housemate Jermaine Jackson at her house.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty "caught up on good old times" with her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jermaine Jackson, late pop legend Michael Jackson's brother, at her house here.

"I met Jermaine Jackson and his wife Halima after nearly three years...caught up on old times, got nostalgic over our experiences in the 'Big Brother' house. It had been so long but we picked up from where we left, one thing being constant - our friendship, so was happy on that front," Shilpa, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, posted on her blog www.shilpashettylive.com/blog.

Jermaine landed in India Friday for 10 days to collaborate with singer Adnan Sami on an album being produced by T-Series. During his stay here, he will also shoot for a concept video for the same song.

Shilpa says their meeting Sunday night was "a strange co-incidence" as her younger sister Shamita was heading for Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother.

Shilpa is apprehensive about how Shamita will fair in Bigg Boss.

"I scurried to spend the last two days before she left, tried to dissuade her considering she'll be away for three months if she lasts. (I) can't describe how difficult our last goodbye was. Now I know what she went through when I left three years ago to be a part of Big Brother. We are very close so it was heartbreaking. But I'll get to see her everyday if that's any consolation."
