The two women famously clashed on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007 when Goody referred to the star as "Shilpa Poppadom", provoking an international incident which saw Goody effigies burned on the streets of India.
However, Shetty said their quarrels were in the past. "I called her and she invited me to the wedding on Sunday. It's really unfortunate that it's very little short notice and I'm shooting in Bombay, but if I was in London I would definitely have been there to show my solidarity," she told ITV News.
"I buried the hatchet a very long time ago, not because I'd heard she had been diagnosed with cancer but because I really didn't want to harbour any ill feelings against her. It's really sad to know her health is deteriorating. I really want people to forget the past and pray and send her good wishes, because that's something that will give her energy. I really want all the positive things to be affecting her at this point."
Goody's wedding on Sunday will be filmed as part of a Living TV series and the exclusive picture rights sold to OK! magazine in a deal jointly worth close to £1 million.
Asked how she felt about the 27-year-old's final days being made so public, Shetty said: "Well, that's her decision and she has the prerogative to do whatever she thinks is right for herself and her kids. In a way it gives her kids security - the financial support she gets from doing the show. If she thinks that is the right thing to do , who am I to say anything?"
