Television actress Shilpa Shinde, known for playing the role of Angoori Bhabi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, has made a shocking revelation about her exit from the hit show. During an appearance on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast, she revealed that the sexual allegations case she filed against show's producer Sanjay Kohi was 'false'.
Shinde said, "Nobody knows this, I am not scared of saying the truth, and I will still say that what I am saying is a big thing maine apne producer ke upar sexual harassment ka case kar diya tha kyun ki mere pass koi raasta nahi tha, aur tab main uss main se nikli hoon settle hoke."
She further added, "Tab kisi producer ne unka saath nahi diya aur maine case usi basis pe kiya, police toh seedha FIR karne ke liye yeh bolti hai aapko ganda likhna padega and I am from law background. Main aaj iske through bol rahi hoon woh jhooth tha. Main yeh aaj first time confess kar rahi hoon sach much. Phir hamari settlement hui aur jo hamari payment thi jo teen mahine baad milta tha voh clear hua. (At that time, no producer supported him, and I filed the case on that basis. The police say that to register an FIR, you sometimes have to write things in a certain way. I come from a law background. Today I am saying through this that it was a lie. I am confessing this for the first time that it was false. Later, we reached a settlement, and my pending payments, which used to come after three months, were cleared.)"
Shilpa went on to say, "11 saal ke baad bhi maine last Bhabhiji isiliye kiya kyunki Manoj Santoshi ji humaare writer the, unki iccha thi. Unko bhi hurt kiya tha and yeh sab hone ke baad main aaj unke saath kaam kar rahi hoon. Aur aaj humaare relationship bahut ache hain. (Even after 11 years, I did the last stint in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain because Manoj Santoshi ji was our writer and it was his wish. I had hurt him as well, and after all that happened, I am now working with him again. Today, our relationship is very good.)"
What is Shinde's Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain controversy?
In 2016, Shilpa Shinde abruptly walked off the set of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain. What started as a bitter dispute over contract terms and unpaid dues quickly turned ugly. The producers struck back hard, publicly branding her unprofessional and firing off a legal notice demanding she get back to work. But Shinde didn't back down. The battle moved from the studio to the courtroom when she filed legal complaints against producer Binaifer Kohli. In a shocking twist, she also accused co-producer Sanjay Kohli of sexual harassment, while claiming powerful industry figures were actively conspiring to blacklist her career.
