Bhabhiji co stars are insecure: Shilpa Shinde

Shilpa Shinde aka Angoori Bhabhi has been in the headlines for some time now… No doubt, the lady has added life to the character, and has been one of the pillars in the success story of & TV’s popular show, Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai (Edit II).

However, all that seems to be a bad past that Shilpa wants to forget… In a talk with us she cleared her stand, and spoke at length about the problems she faced at the hands of the co-artists, producer and channel personnel.

She claimed, “I am very upset that I have been working with such shameless people for the past one year. Yes, I was destined to do this role, and I have proved what I can do to the masses as well as to all the concerned people holding big positions. I can clearly say that my stint as Angoori Bhabhi has ended.”

Continuing, Shilpa did not mince words expressing her anger at the other three lead artistes of the show, Saumya Tandon, Rohitashv Gaur and Aasif Sheikh. “They simply don’t have the guts to speak the truth. They knew all along that I was being framed with allegations of throwing tantrums. But none of them spoke. I am really upset at their behaviour. I will never share screen space with these three actors. Understood, they have always suffered from a complex that I steal the limelight. They have often felt dissatisfied, with people going gaga about Angoori Bhabhi and her takiya kalam, ‘Sahi Pakde’… I am cent percent sure that they will be extremely happy now, as they do not have to share screen with Shilpa. Guess it is now time for them to prove their worth (smiled).”

When asked about rumours doing rounds of her being part of The Kapil Sharma Show, she averred, “Haha, yes, as they have spread rumours, I am part of it. But not as bua, but as dadi (gave out a sarcastic smile).”

Shilpa also had some strong words to tell about the channel. “We do not have the good old team in & anymore who gave life to Bhabhiji. It is a completely new set up, and the one man in charge of everything is Vikas Gupta out there. Let me remind you here that Bhabhiji is not his show. There was a time when there used to be lot of promos aired on the channel of Bhabhiji. But just check out now, you can only see promos of Vikas’ concept, Jai Santoshi Maa. I am seriously surprised as to how they can do this so openly.”

Speaking about the Producer Benaifer Kohli, Shilpa further stated, “I just do not want to speak about her. She has no respect to talk to actors. And I very well know how to get my money back. You will not believe, I had a throat infection few months back, and the infection was so bad that I had lost my voice. If you think of it, there were few episodes too wherein it was shown that Angoori had lost her voice.

My condition was so bad. And the effect of antibiotics was such that I happened to oversleep one morning, thus reporting late for shoot. In any case, our scenes do not come on time, and we are made to wait for three hours every day. But unfortunately, the scenes had arrived early on the day I was late, and the other actors complained about me to the Producer. But the fact was that we had different scenes and no actor was waiting for me. And you will not believe it if I say, Benaifer abused me on the set in front of everyone. I could not believe that someone could have talked to me in that manner. She even went to CINTAA after this incident to lodge a complaint against my late coming.”

“I tell the same people, who are spreading rumours about my tantrum throwing, to be happy now since I am out of the project. Why do they want to settle things midway? In fact, the Producer has been calling me to meet her for a settlement at the JW Marriot. ‘Bolte hai koi beech ka raasta doondte hai’… Why do they want me now if I have been so troublesome to them,” questioned Shilpa.

Before concluding her talk, Shilpa did vehemently tell that she has lodged a complaint with the CINTAA for defamation. “I am waiting for a reply from CINTAA”, declared Shilpa.

You will certainly be missed in the show, Shilpa!!
