Shetty was praised for her "dignity and poise" during her participation in the Celebrity Big Brother reality show earlier this year.Addressing the graduates, university vice-chancellor Simon Lee said: "There are some parallels between the challenges faced in any house and student life. Someone at some time will behave badly, not necessarily to you but to others or the wider community, to someone or some group who cannot defend themselves.
"In Shilpa Shetty you are graduating with someone who rose to that challenge with great dignity and poise, making a difference."
Accepting the award, Shetty said: "I am so overwhelmed, I am choked with emotions and I can't stop smiling. I have won some awards, at the cost of sounding immodest, I have never seen my mother beam so much as she is today
In further success the stunning Bollywood star has also launched her own perfume, S2 which is outselling fragarances produced by Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton .
