What did Shilpa Shinde say which led to AICWA demanding strict action against her?
On a recent episode of Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast, television actress Shilpa Shinde made a shocking confession: she admitted that the sexual harassment allegations she filed in 2017 against Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! producer Sanjay Kohli were entirely false.
She claimed she was cornered during a bitter contractual and payment dispute and felt she had "no other option". She stated that the police told her she had to make serious allegations to officially register an FIR. She admitted to fabricating the lie so she could pressure the producers into settling and clearing her pending dues.
Her admission has caused a massive divide in the entertainment industry, leading to widespread trolling and public backlash from figures like Hina Khan.
