Shilpa Shinde accuses Bollywood producer of sexual assault: “He tried to force himself on me”
It was decided by the former Bigg Boss winner not to reveal the name of the producer
In a recent interview with News18, actress Shilpa Shinde, who is currently a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi, opened up about a traumatic incident from her early days in the industry. According to the Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai! star, during her struggling days in 1998-99, she was asked by a Hindi filmmaker to wear revealing clothes and perform a seductive scene. Despite feeling uncomfortable, she went along with it due to her naivety. However, things took a turn when the person tried to force himself on her and she had to push him away and flee for safety. The security staff intervened and asked her to leave immediately, fearing that she might call for help. Shinde has chosen not to reveal the identity of the perpetrator.
The former Bigg Boss winner chose not to reveal the producer’s name. “He was from the Hindi film industry. I agreed to do the scene because he was also an actor,” she said, adding, “I’m not lying, but I cannot take his name. His children are probably a little younger than me, and if I name him, they will suffer too.”

While conversing with News18, Shilpa Shinde, known for her role in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!, revealed that she was sexually assaulted by a Hindi filmmaker when she was just starting out in her career. This incident took place around 1998-99 and Shilpa chose not to disclose the name of the filmmaker. She recalled being asked to wear inappropriate clothing and perform a seductive scene, which she refused. However, during the scene, he insisted on playing her boss and tried to take advantage of her innocence. She was able to push him away and leave before making a scene due to the help of security staff who noticed the situation.
A former Bigg Boss winner refused to reveal the name of the producer. “He’s an actor in the Hindi film industry,” she said, adding, “I’m not lying, but I cannot mention his name. His children are probably a little younger than me, so naming him would hurt them as well.”
“After a few years, I met him again, and he spoke to me kindly. He didn’t recognize me and even offered me a film role. I refused. He still doesn’t remember me,” the actress added.
