India stops Jade perfume bottles
A plant in India which makes perfume bottles endorsed by British television star Jade Goody has <b>stopped production following the Big Brother racism row</b>.
------------------------------
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says the factory <b>may want to distance itself from her because of fears that her comments might invite a backlash</b>.

And now Mid-day's version
Jade's perfume bottles made in India
-----------------
Manufactured by a Mumbai-based Indian firm Pragati Glass, the attractive bottles are crafted at Bharuch in Gujarat and exported to Bob Coleman, the company, which packages ‘Shh’. Each bottle is sold at about 25 pounds (Rs 1750) for 100 ml.

Though Hassan says that he is happy that Big Brother participant Goody’s Shh has been withdrawn from the market.
---------------------
<b>“When it comes to the prestige of the country, business has to definitely come second. We however won’t stop exporting bottles used by ‘Shh’ since our direct client is Bob Coleman (the perfumer),” says Hassan</b>.

Pragati <b>supplies bottles for four perfume brands</b> including ‘eau de parfum’ — Kylie (after Kylie Minogue).
