After the Justice Hema Committee report on the Malayalam industry was released, many actresses are speaking openly about the sexual assault they faced.
TV actress Shilpa Shinde has also accused a Hindi filmmaker of sexual harassment, although the actress has not revealed the name of the filmmaker.
Tried to tease on the pretext of audition
In an interview to News18 Showsha, Shilpa said, this incident happened with me during my struggling days in 1998-99. I cannot take his name but he told me on the pretext of audition, wear these clothes and do the scene. I did not wear those clothes. In the scene, I was asked to seduce that filmmaker. I was very naive then, so I did that scene. After this, when he started forcing himself on me, I got scared. I pushed him and ran away from there. The security staff understood what had happened to me and advised me to leave from there as soon as possible. They thought that I would create a ruckus for help.

Shilpa did not reveal the name of the producer but said, he is from the Hindi film industry. I agreed to do the scene because he was also an actor. I am not lying but I cannot take his name. His children are a little younger than me and if I take his name, they will also get into trouble.
Shilpa further said, I met that producer again after a few years and he talked to me nicely. He did not recognize me and even offered me a role in a film but I refused. He still does not recognize me.
I got recognition from ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai’
Shilpa got a lot of popularity from the role of Angoori Bhabhi in the show ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain’. Apart from this, she has done many shows like ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’, ‘Bigg Boss 11’, ‘Maika’, ‘Chidiyaghar’.
