Shilpa Shinde continues to stay on the centre of controversy following her recent remarks concerning the allegations she made during her fallout with the makers of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!. After admitting during a podcast conversation with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa that she had levelled sexual harassment allegations because she felt ‘cornered,’ the actor faced heavy backlash online. Now, Shilpa has shared an Instagram video addressing the criticism, clarifying her statements and defending herself against what she called “false narratives.”
Shilpa Shinde Breaks Silence Amid Backlash
Initially of the video, Shilpa sarcastically remarked that she may soon have to start out a vlog to teach people concerning the law. She joked that individuals needed “gyaan” and said she would even start a paid course for it. “Aapko mera do din ka course join karna padega… description box mein primary payment ka link bhej dungi,” she said while laughing.
The actress then clarified what she meant while discussing sexual harassment and criticised people for equating every allegation with rape. “But sexual harassment ko joh Hindi mein describe karke ‘rape, rape, rape’ aur ‘sharirik shoshan’ bol rahe ho na, toh primary mota-mota bata doon ki law mein agar mera co-artist mujhe gande tareeke se touch karta hai aur mujhe feel hota hai ki woh inappropriate touch hai, toh uske against bhi primary sexual harassment ka case kar sakti hoon. Woh sexual harassment ke case mein aata hai.”
Shilpa further accused certain people of spreading misinformation for money and urged them to “do their job properly.” She said, “Aapko toh actually paise mile hain, isliye yeh aapki rozi-roti hai. Aap woh kaam kar rahe ho toh please kijiye, lekin sahi dhang se kijiye.”

Shilpa then urged people to forgive those that admitted the reality and move on from the controversy. She said, “Aur jin logon ne sach bol diya ki woh jhooth tha, woh jhooth tha — unhe chhod dijiye, unhe maaf kar dijiye. Ab maaf kar dijiye. Jo hua use bhool jaiye.”
The actor further alleged that she had previously been stopped from speaking openly about what really happened. She said, “Shayad isi liye mujhe uss waqt bolne se mana kiya gaya tha ki sach kya hai, woh primary na bol doon.”
Referring to the FIR filed on the time, Shilpa asked critics to look at the actual criticism before making assumptions. She said, “Aap logon ko sachmuch inquiry karni chahiye. FIR ki copy nikaliye. Maine jo FIR uss waqt likhwai thi, usmein maine saaf-saaf shabdon mein likha tha ki ‘unhone mera haath pakda aur mujhe apni taraf khincha.’”
Throughout the video, Shilpa repeatedly criticised what she described as “publicity hungry” people and “chaatu” culture online. She also urged people to give attention to helping real survivors as an alternative of sensationalising her controversy. Toward the top of the video, the actor thanked her fans and said she was having fun with becoming energetic on social media again.
