Shilpa Shinde faces backlash

TV actress responds to backlash after podcast revelation, says comments are misinterpreted without watching full conversation or context

Actress Shilpa Shinde, during a podcast with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, made a big revelation that many years ago, amid the Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain controversy, she had filed a fake sexual harassment case against the show’s producer, Sanjay Kohli. Soon, netizens started slamming her and even demanded her arrest for filing a fake case. Now, Shilpa has reacted to the social media backlash, and she shared a video about it on Instagram. The actress captioned the video as, “Passing judgment on a single line without watching the entire podcast is a poor approach by paid PR.

Thanks to my well-wishers for understanding me (sic).”  In the video, Shilpa says, “I usually don’t read comments because I know what my fans will write for me. If you watch Bharti ji and Harsh’s podcast, you’ll see the comments there too. After this PR campaign and the comments that are coming in, I want to tell those people that you reap what you sow. Without understanding the situation, people are writing all kinds of things. I knew this was going to happen because the world never appreciates anything good.” 

“I am not standing in front of you to justify myself. I am standing in front of my own conscience because that lie was a lie. Nobody asked me to say it. I could never live with that lie. I had 

to say it someday. You don’t know what happened to me at that time. May God never let any of you or your family go through such a situation. I know what that phase was like,” she added.
