Shefali Shah's Bollywood career has not been an easy one. Even though she received praise from critics for her little appearances, things didn't really take off until Delhi Crime landed on her. The actor is well-known for her roles in films such as Satya, Darlings, Dil Dhadakne Do, and Three of Us. She recently appeared on Twinkle Khanna's podcast, where they discussed how Aarav Bhatia, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle's son secretively recorded the Shefali Shah while she was having a breakdown. Shah has a sobbing tape, while most people have sex tapes, remarked Khanna.

"Shefali is also an old friend and at one point, we were sitting in my garden, and she was upset that she wasn’t getting the kind of work she should be getting. She was crying," recalled Twinkle Khanna. "But since every story has to have some sort of twist, we heard a rustle in the bushes, and it turned out to be my son, who was holding a videotape, recording this whole thing. So some people have a sex tape floating around… she has a sobbing tape," continued the host.

Shefali Shah joked, "Maybe we should put it out now, I will get popular."

Shefali Shah shared that she didn't want to continue playing a mother on screen after Dil Dhadakne Do, thus she turned down movies like Kapoor and Sons and Neerja. "After Dil Dhadakne Do, I made a strategic decision that I don’t want to play mother to people who are just a couple of years younger than me. After Dil Dhadakne Do, I was offered Neerja and Kapoor and Sons, and I loved the script of both the films, but I felt that if I do this, this is going to be the end for me."

The actor continued, "There has probably been more waiting than acting in my career. And while I was waiting, Mukesh Chhabra, the casting director, called me, and he came up with this part (Delhi Crime), and within the first five minutes of meeting Richie Mehta (director of Delhi Crime), I said yes to the show."
