Shilpa Shinde has once again found herself at the centre of a controversy after her recent confession about making false sexual harassment allegations against the producer of the popular sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain.

Shilpa Shinde hits back at critics after her false harassment claim confession: “I fought alone then, I’m ready to fight alone today”
Taking to Instagram, Shilpa shared a video in which she addressed the backlash she has been receiving ever since her comments resurfaced in public discourse. Although she refrained from naming any individual, the actress took aim at those who have been questioning her motives and targeting her online. She said, “I was questioned – ‘What’s up, Shilpa Shinde? You weren’t on social media then, but you are on social media today’. I don’t know when people will stop gaining publicity in my name. But don’t get on the moving train, you’ll get hurt.”
Shilpa added, “To gain publicity, you have your own diseases, the people who have died at home. So why do you need Shilpa Shinde? You are already very publicised. Don’t dig up old graves”, she said. The actress further addressed those revisiting past controversies, insisting that she had spoken up now because she wanted to correct the record. She continued, “If you want to dig up the past, let me remind you that I am alive. Even then, I said with proof. I hope may Lord give peace to his soul – the one who is not in this world. I don’t want to do this but let me tell you I will give such proof that even if you don’t want to, you will hate that person. So don’t tease. Let us all give peace to his soul.”
Explaining why she decided to speak publicly about the matter after several years, Shilpa said, “The biggest thing is that you don’t know things. Stop shouting about it. If you had supported me at that time, this situation wouldn’t have come today. After 9 years, we did work. No one told me to speak. But I am standing for a girl’s father and a woman’s husband. Because I lied. I can’t live with a lie on my heart”. “If I had arrested them at that time, I would have been arrested myself today. It’s my fault. I accept. But you don’t know why I did what I did. If you haven’t read it, then read it. See Mahabharata. If you haven’t seen it, then see it.”
