The problem between the former Angoori aka Shilpa Shinde and producer duo Binaifer and Sanjay Kohli, of ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain‘, has taken a rather nasty turn. Almost a year after Shilpa quit the show, alleging mental torture and threat to her career, the actress this week filed an FIR against Sanjay Kohli at Waliv Police Station, accusing him of sexual harassment.
When asked to comment on this Shilpa says,”I have been mentally tortured by the producer couple. I was also sexually harassed.” Shilpa also adds,”Sanjay would often ask me to accompany him on promotional tours and say that I looked hot. I shared this with his wife Binaifer, but she didn’t react. Instead, they have given me a tag of being unprofessional. I never wanted to quit the show, but was forced to work on their terms. However, I was replaced overnight after I refused to bow down. And still the torture continues. They still have to clear my dues.”
But why did it take so long to file a complaint? “I wanted to lodge a complaint on day one, but my lawyers kept changing. Also, my calls were being recorded, because of which I had to change my number thrice. Finally, I decided my self-respect and dignity is more important than anything else and lodged a formal complaint.”
